David Beckworth on NGDP targeting and Labor Share

Basic Effective Demand Limit, L = labor share index * 0.76

Effective demand on real GDP = rGDPeT/L (1 -(1 - 1/e)T/L)

Effective Demand Monetary rule with NGDP targeting = z(T² + L²) - (1 - z)(T + L) + (1+a)current core inflation + acore inflation average - 2acore inflation target

z = (2L + Natural real rate)/(2L² + 2L) ............................ T = capacity utilization*(1 - unemployment rate)
UT index = L - T ... (UT index goes to zero at limit of business cycle.)

New economic thinking... effective demand limit upon the utilization of labor and capital

In the data which I referred here http://www.nacm.org/cmi/cmi-archive.html

There is no explanation, but there have been very large revisions on page 2 in "Amount of credit extended" and "Rejections of credit applications"

Note the difference between March and April.

In the April article the word revision is used on Page 1 in the 2nd paragraph but not in a way that makes sense to me.

Synopsis of Effective Demand

Data as of 3rdQ-2018
Effective Demand = $18.433 trillion
Real GDP = $18.671 trillion
Productive Capacity = $24.872 trillion
UT index is at effective demand limit = -0.92%
Effective demand limit = 74.1%
TFUR = 75.1%
ED Fed rate rule = 4.0%
Estimated Natural Real Interest rate = 2.3%
Short-term real interest rate = 2.8%

There is no recession for 3rdQ-2018. Chance of recession is growing as economy has now reached 2nd effective demand limit in this business cycle. I am forecasting that economic conditions will begin to contract in the second half of 2018.
