Economic indicators
Description
How do countries evaluate the performance of their economic systems and national economies? In module one of this program, the Italian Statistical Office applies the U.S. concept of Gross Domestic Product, while in module two economists in Finland consider the GDP plus social indicators to gain a fuller economic picture. Module three illustrates how Hungary, a former communist bloc country, monitors its transition from a planned economy to a market economy through its own blend of statistics.
