The aim of the dissertation is to give an overview of some of the most relevant and popular methods suggested for estimating potential output and the output gap. Three alternative methodologies - the Hodrick-Prescott filter, the production function approach and the SVAR approach - are compared and assessed empirically with respect to data representing the economic development of Uruguay in the last twenty years. Given the recent growth slowdown and abrupt recovery of Uruguay's GOP, the objective is to provide evidence on whether such changes are principally a cyclical shortfall or instead represent a structural shift towards a new growth path. Once the output gaps are estimated, their capacity as indicators of inflationary pressures is assessed through a basic gap model in which the change in inflation is related to the output gap, the money supply and the terms of trade. 2014-10-31T18:02:26Z 2014-10-31T18:02:26Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MCom http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9007 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town
