What it is
Comparative policy club
The OECD groups high-income and market-oriented economies for policy comparison, structural indicators, and cross-country macro evidence.
Economic history
The OECD grew out of postwar European recovery institutions and became a comparative policy forum for advanced and emerging market economies.
Its macro role is less about one policy authority and more about measurement: productivity, labor markets, fiscal stance, living standards, trade, and structural reform.
