recognition lag
Definition
The delay in time between the occurrence of a macroeconomic event or shock and how long it takes for it to be noticed. For example, in 2008 when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, the recognition lag - the time it took for investors and markets to recognize this event - was less than one day.
