 <title>Economic Performance: Highlights of a Workshop on Economic Performance Measures</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Improving the economy and efficiency of federal programs has long
been a key objective of the Government Accountability Office	 
(GAO). To this end, GAO held a workshop on December 17, 2004, to 
discuss the use of economic analysis, such as benefit cost or	 
cost effectiveness, for helping to measure the performance of	 
federal programs. The workshop&apos;s purpose was to discuss the	 
present state of economic performance measures and identify gaps 
in their application and the barriers and analytical issues that 
limit their use in helping assess the performance of federal	 
programs and identify opportunities for the federal government	 
and professional and academic institutions to improve (1) the use
of economic performance measures for evaluating federal programs 
and (2) the general economic principles and guidance on which	 
economic performance analysis is based.</abstract>
