The U.S. capacity utilization rate : a new estimation approach / by René Lalonde.  : FB3-2/99-14E-PDF

The recent strength of the U.S. economy and historically low rates of inflation have sparked considerable debate among economists and Federal Reserve officials. In order to better explain the recent behaviour of inflation, some observers have raised the concept of a non-accelerating inflation capacity utilization rate (NAICU). In this study, the author presents a new methodology to estimate the NAICO. A simple structural vector autoregression, including industrial production, the inflation rate, and the long-run real interest rate, is used to identify production capacity.--Abstract
