Abstract

This reply to Botte (2019) responds to criticisms of the methods used to estimate the normal rate of capacity utilization and a tolerable interval of variation in the actual rate of capacity utilization around the normal rate in Setterfield (2019a). It concludes with some further reflections on the concept of corridor instability.

Keywords: normal rate of capacity utilization, Harrodian instability, corridor instability
