Ask HN: How to evaluate a country's economic performance? What would be the right indexes (or anything else) to evaluate a country's performance over a specific time period? I would like to evaluate my country's (Greece) last government performance and what real effect it had over the country's wealth and the general population. That is only for personal knowledge purposes and not for a professional/academic inquiry or something. Thank you |
There must be many books on this subject, I’m pretty sure I learned that in one of my intro level college Economics classes (Econ minor)
I would pull out a macroeconomics and and microeconomics book from the library and study up. Maybe grab a Udemy course on Econ as well.
Regardless, GDP is always useful so def one of the right metrics for economic performance in general.
Def I need more studying on the subject my self.
