The two nouns say much the same thing but there is a distinction between their implied extent of the economic recovery being referred to.
Objects that bounce do not rise very far before they start falling again. The word suggests a temporary, moderate movement.
Rebound, on the other hand, suggests a steadier, more positive ascent.
Depending on your judgement of the improvement that you are describing, you can opt for the lesser bounce or the stronger rebound.

I think it might be more accurate to say rebound can often imply [permanently] rise back up to the normal level, as opposed to bounce implying [temporarily] oscillate between an unsustainable high level and a "base" level, with progressively smaller peaks, before settling at the lower level.

I bet someone else here could express exactly the distinction I was making there in far less words, but I'm glad you see it the same way. If two native speakers agree on a subtle distinction like this, it pretty much proves there's at least some truth to the perspective! Actually, I just remembered that in financial jargon, a bounce is sometimes explicitly referenced as a dead cat bounce (in my experience, dead cats don't bounce very high, or for long, and they quickly settle to the lowest point in the oscillation! :)
