Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article presents a forecast of the potential GDP of Kazakhstan performed using a structural method based on a production function that establishes relationships between the factors of production, total factor productivity, and output. Forecast estimations of trends of the key factors of production and the total factor productivity that form the long-term trend of the potential GDP of the country in the context of the global energy transition are presented. The baseline scenario of a long-term forecast of the potential GDP of Kazakhstan for the period until 2050 as adjusted for the objective of decarbonization of the economy is developed. Approaches to economic policy that could "nudge" the potential GDP up are proposed.
