Tolerable ranges of variation in the rate of capacity utilization and corridor instability: a reply to Florian Botte

Mark Setterfield

No 1905, Working Papers from New School for Social Research, Department of Economics

Abstract: This reply to Botte (2019) responds to criticisms of the methods used to estimate the normal rate of capacity utilization and a tolerable interval of variation in the actual rate of capacity utilization around the normal rate in Setterfield (2019a). It concludes with some further reflections on the concept of corridor instability.
