### Reflection on Economic Performance Unit

As I prepare for the upcoming test on Economic Performance, I have taken some time to reflect on my understanding of the various concepts covered in this unit.

**Areas of Confidence:**

I feel quite confident in my understanding of **Gross Domestic Product (GDP)**, including its components and the nuances of how it is measured. The quick checks provided a solid grasp of the different methods to calculate GDP (expenditure, income, and production approaches). Additionally, I feel comfortable with the **stages of the business cycle**—recognizing expansion, peak, contraction, and trough phases—and how these relate to changes in GDP.

I also have a good handle on the **impact of unemployment** on economic performance. I can articulate different types of unemployment (cyclical, structural, frictional) and their implications for the economy. Furthermore, I understand how **technology influences economic growth**, particularly in terms of productivity improvements and innovation.

**Areas for Further Review:**

Despite my confidence in certain areas, I recognize that I need to review the **causes and impact of inflation** more thoroughly. While I understand the basic concepts of inflation and its measurement (CPI and PPI), I need to delve deeper into the mechanisms that cause inflation and how it affects different sectors differently.

Additionally, I want to revisit the topic of **poverty and resource distribution**. This area feels complex as it intersects with social issues and economic policies. I want to ensure that I grasp the different theories and measurements of poverty and how resource distribution impacts economic performance over time.

Finally, I plan to practice with the **Economic Performance Review Practice** to solidify my knowledge and tackle any lingering uncertainties before the unit test.

Overall, I believe I have a strong foundation in the key areas of economic performance; however, targeted review will help reinforce my understanding and ensure I am fully prepared for the assessment.
