Abstract

This paper performs a comprehensive analysis on the Hungarian potential output. Since the concept of potential output is not unique, we present various interpretations of the potential GDP along with a large set of techniques for estimating it. Various estimates are presented and robustness analyses performed. Finally, an illustrative scenario is set forth for the following few years.
