Abstract

Für die wirtschaftspolitischen Instanzen stellt die Kenntnis des Produktionspotentials und des daraus abgeleiteten gesamtwirtschaftlichen Kapazitätsauslastungsgrades eine wichtige Orientierungsgröße dar. In diesem Diskussionspapier werden verschiedene Methoden der Schätzung des Produktionspotentials dargestellt. Diese umfassen Unternehmensbefragungen, reine Zeitreihenmethoden und Verfahren, die explizit die ökonomische Theorie berücksichtigen. Hier ist insbesondere der Produktionsfunktions-Ansatz zu nennen. Abschließend werden einige der vorgestellten Schätzmethoden auf Daten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland angewandt.
