Economic research plays a pivotal role in shaping robust financial policy decisions and enhancing the effectiveness of market performance metrics. By combining theoretical modeling, empirical analysis, and policy evaluation techniques, researchers provide evidence-based insights that inform central banks, regulatory bodies, and fiscal authorities. This review synthesizes the strategic contributions of economic research across three domains: policy formulation, implementation monitoring, and performance measurement. It examines methodological approaches—ranging from macro econometric modeling to experimental and behavioral economics—that underpin policy analysis, and it evaluates how findings translate into actionable recommendations for interest rate setting, fiscal stimulus design, and regulatory interventions. Additionally, the paper explores the development and refinement of market performance indicators—such as liquidity measures, volatility indices, and systemic risk gauges—and assesses how economic research validates and enriches these metrics. Through a critical appraisal of case studies from advanced and emerging economies, the review highlights best practices and identifies persistent challenges, including data limitations, model uncertainty, and evolving market structures. Finally, it outlines future research priorities for strengthening the nexus between economic inquiry and financial policymaking, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, big data integration, and real time analytics to foster resilient and transparent markets.
