Using Cointegrated Vector Auto-Regression analysis, this paper provides evidence that production capacities adjust endogenously to current output in the long run.


The principle of effective demand in a growth context, by which a permanent demand shock has a permanent growth effect, is consistent with the stylized fact of a stationary rate of capacity utilization since production capacities are endogenous in the long run.
