Integral assessment of the macroeconomic equilibrium on the example of the Polish economy

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to test the validity of the use of an integral estimation of macroeconomic equilibrium for the analysis of the effectiveness of national economy’s management. Using the methods of analysis and synthesis as well as comparison methods, we focused on the study of existing macroeconomic equilibrium indicators in order to cho¬ose the most utilitarian indicator in accordance with such criteria as the level of aggregation of macroeconomic indicators within a single quantitative index; minimization of prelimina¬ry calculations without loss of the quality of the information content of the index; existence of appropriate theoretical background. The calculations included the macroeconomic data of the Polish economy in 2000-2016.
