The workshop: discussed the present state of economic performance measures (EPM) & identified gaps in their application & the barriers & analytical issues that limit their use in helping assess the performance of fed. programs; & identified opportunities for the fed. gov’t. & professional & acad. inst. to improve: (1) the use of EPM for evaluating fed. programs; & (2) the general economic principles & guidance on which EPM analysis is based.
