An indicator is a measure that reflects the behaviour of an economic or financial variable, prepared from statistical data. It allows making comparisons between different periods and different territories or economic agents, since its calculation is usually standardized.
An economic indicator focuses on a specific aspect of the economy or the economic agents that are a part of it, and allows the situation and evolution of economic activity to be analysed. One of the most prominent applications of economic indicators is the study of business cycles.
