While V, U, W, and L-shaped recoveries describe common patterns of decline and rebound, the emergence of terms like K and C reflects the increasing complexity and unevenness of modern economic recoveries, making it harder for economists to agree on a single, simple descriptive shape [6, 9, 38]. This complexity often stems from differing impacts across industries, income groups, and the unique nature of recent economic shocks [3, 6, 36].
