Thank you jpfeifer, your answer was extremely helpful for my task. But I need to ask you one question. Do you know how the labor, capital and productivity deviation is calculated (see page 53)? Which data do I need to calculate those for the current economic situation (2018 - 2020+)?

It depends on the exact implementation. Usually you need information on GDP, hours worked, the capital or investment, and consumption. Essentially the variables in Table 1.

<p>I need to find a paper which analyzes the economic crisis in 2008 (by quantifiable critera). My task is to apply such criteria to the current situation. I have to use a research paper as a basis for my work, but sadly I couldn't find something which highlights key factors to look for to detect a economic crisis. Can you guys help me out?</p>
