Summary/Abstract: The presented empirical analysis concerns an operational control of government over the economy in the European Union and it touches the relation between the operational economic activity of government and the dynamics of economic growth. In case of contemporary highly developed economies every government can utilise a wide range of fiscal instruments that can influence an economic process in the short term. As a result, the operational control of government over economy should be treated as a complex phenomenon. Thus, in case of international comparisons some tools of multidimensional analysis can be applied to measure it. In the presented study a synthetic measure of development was applied, as it enables to verify an extent of the operational economic activity of government in every country, to build a rating of the countries and to classify the countries into created typological groups.
