Abstract: The many unique findings on economic growth studies by the flying geese analysis (Kwan, 1994), the convergence-catching-up analysis (Lim and McAleer, 2003), and competitive index rankings by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), all provide country rankings and comparisons only on one plane, i.e., to determine which country is doing best, better or worst. But we introduce a new measurement based on geometric planes that enables us to measure the "state and speed of the economy", to determine the actual "economic size" due to policy actions, and to evaluate macroeconomic policies' effectiveness and coherence in producing real economic growth.
