Trend-Through-Peaks Methods of Estimating Capacity Utilisation

Abstract: Abstract Information about the rate at which a nation’s productive resources are being utilised is essential if policymakers take the view that one of their primary functions is to maintain a satisfactory level of capacity utilisation. Most economists and policymakers, for example, would argue that it is the government’s responsibility to prevent both the over-utilisation of productive capacity (in order to avoid the emergence of inflationary pressure) and the under-utilisation of productive capacity (in order to avoid wasting scarce resources).
