capacity utilization and the NAICU–or non-accelerating inflation capacity utilization). In the United States, the most common specifications of the Phillips curve use the unemployment rate gap as the measure of resource utilization.

Best paper and winner of the 2014 Finance Ministery Economics Award (Macroeconomics, Monetary Economics and Finance Cathegory): A Tale of Three Gaps: Unemployment, Capacity Utilization and Output, with Arnildo S. Correa.
Chapter 3 derives both an unemployment gap and a capacity utilization gap, using Adaptive Least Squares (ALS), and combines them to formulate our Factor Utilization Model. The use of both unemployment and capacity utilization allows us to consider the effects of both labor and capital under or over utilization, thus eliminating a potential ...
alternative indicators of economic slack, which we divide into three categories: output gaps, manufacturing capacity utilization, and other indicators of labor market conditions. Unemployment rate gaps We use the staff's unemployment rate gap, the red line in Chart 1, as our baseline for comparison.
The neoclassical growth model is used to identify the short‐run effects of neutral technology shocks, which affect the production of all goods homogeneously, and investment‐specific shocks, which affect only investment goods. The real equipment price, crucial for identifying the investment shocks, experiences an abrupt increase in its average rate of decline in 1982, so the analysis is ...
(vi) A stationary utilization rate is not consistent with any theory of the determination of capacity utilization. Even if demand did not play a role, there is no reason to expect that all the other factors that determine utilization would change in a fashion that would keep utilization constant.
first three months of the year. Although the utilization rate for advanced processing industries moved up to 81.3 percent in May--a bit above its 1967-87 average--the key story continues to be the relatively tight conditions in primary processing industries. Utilization in this sector has fluctuated around 87 percent since last November, and is

The long-term decline in capacity utilization in manufacturing can be seen in chart 2, which presents this in terms of ten-year moving averages. During the period shown on the chart, the high point was the ten-year period 1964–1975, while the low point was 1975-1984.
Having better data related to the labor market and automation technologies could go a long way in helping address the concerns raised by technology. With these issues in the background, the BLS commissioned this report to identify constructs that would complement existing BLS products with a goal of ensuring that the necessary data exist that would allow stakeholders to assess the impact of ...

The output gap—a key measure of resource utilization—is the differ-ence between the amount produced in a given period and the economy's potential 1level of output. Positive gaps—that is, output levels in excess of potential—are usually associated with increased price pressures. Nega-tive gaps—output levels below po-

Also, he established the relationship between output gap (using GNP), unemployment rate and capacity utilization. In the studies of aggregate inflation,

This was followed by a number of other studies in which the Kalman filter became the most popular approach for assessing the NAIRU (see, for example, Gordon (1997), Denis et al. (2002), Logeay and

Currently, about 78.5% of US capacity is being utilized. This signifies that over 20% of our capacity is not being utilized. Because full employment is represented by capacity utilization, our economy is experiencing high unemployment according to this statistic. This suggests that we are still in a recession and that our output gap is ...
production' (Ricardo, 1951, p. 290). This view implied that whatever capacity might be, demand would be sufficient in the long run to ensure the full utilisation of that capacity. Thus under long-run normal conditions demand and capacity are balanced. There was, however, no presumption that the scale of activity would be such as to ensure the full
