No 2005/43, MNB Occasional Papers from Magyar Nemzeti Bank (The Central Bank of Hungary)

Abstract: This paper is a comprehensive analysis of Hungary’s potential output. Since the concept of potential output is not unique, we present various interpretations of potential GDP, along with a large set of techniques for estimating it. Various estimates are presented and robustness analyses are performed. Finally, an illustrative scenario is outlined for the forthcoming few years.
