Bulgaria’s Cyclical Position and Market (Dis)equilibria

Author

  • Ivan Todorov

Abstract

Bulgaria’s potential output and cyclical position for the period 2010-2015 are estimated by a methodology based on a two-factor Cobb-Douglas production function. An IS-LM model of the Bulgarian economy is developed to study the condition of the different types of markets (labor market, goods market and money market). During the entire period 2010-2015 Bulgaria‘s output remained below its potential, while unemployment was above its natural level. The goods market and the money market were not balanced but fluctuated around their equilibrium levels. The conclusions of the study are in agreement with the Keynesian views about the disequilibrium character of the economic system and about the necessity of an expansionistic macroeconomic policy to stabilize the economy at its potential level in case of a deflationary gap (as in Bulgaria during 2010-2015).
