Abstract

The toolkit in the form of econometric models for predicting economic growth in the building branch is presented. Empirically, it has been proven that there is a determining short-term and long-term impact of investments in construction and installation works on the gross value added in construction. Using the Angle- Granger procedure, it was established that there is cointegration between construction and installation work and gross value added in construction. This makes possible to apply the error correction model to predict economic growth in the construction industry in Belarus.
