Potential growth and output gap estimated using different calibrations of the effect of the COVID-19 crisis on the trend and cycle component of TFP Note: The letter D denotes a demand shock and the letter S a supply shock. Source: Author’s calculations. Figure 6
Output gap and capacity utilization rate in Croatia (percentage) Note: The output gap is expressed as a share of potential GDP, and the capital utilization rate as a share of total production capacity of the manufacturing industry.

Comparison of the potential growth estimate from December 2020 and December 2019, EC – left, our estimate – right (percentage) Note: The revision of the potential GDP growth rate in 2016 on the right chart follows from the revisions of data related to the labour market and is not a consequence of the problems related to the estimation of potential GDP in the context of the corona crisis.
