To assess the economic performance of states, there are indicators reflecting their economic success. In developed countries of world economy, in addition to economic development, also the social, environmental and other factors, which particularly affect the quality of life or the welfare of the country’s population, are becoming more and more significant. Within the criticism of gross domestic product, several alternative approaches and indexes have emerged, such as Human Development Index, Global Competitiveness Index, Legatum Prosperity Index, Index of Economic Freedom and others. The aim of this article is to find the dependence between the gross domestic product per capita and the selected alternative indicators, and to evaluate the performance of Visegrad Group countries.
