Step 1
Economic performance is measured in terms of the change in some vital macroeconomic variables such as the unemployment rate, aggregate output, growth rate, labor productivity, etc, which indicate how successful the economy was in achieving its long-run objectives. In the short run, economic performance is analyzed in terms of the economy's ability to overcome its business cycle fluctuations and maintain stabilization during unpredicted shocks.
