Abstract

We propose a capacity utilisation gap as an alternative measure of the output gap in the Turkish economy on the basis of firm-level micro data. Estimation results provide supporting evidence for the adequacy of a capacity utilisation gap as an alternative indicator for assessing the overall state of the business cycle and inflation pressures.
