A comparison of alternative methodologies for estimating potential output and the output gap / by Chantal Dupasquier et al.FB3-2/97-5E

In this paper, the authors survey some of the recent techniques proposed in the literature to measure the trend component or potential output.... The paper focuses on three simple multivariate methodologies: the multivariate Beveridge-Nelson methodology (MBN), Cochrane's methodology (CO), and the structural VAR methodology with long-run restrictions applied to output (LRRO). The foundation of these methodologies is first discussed and then applications to U.S. output and consumption data are considered.--Abstract
