1. Global Economic Issues Gregory W. Stutes

2. Global Village Do we live in a global village? – Do events around the world affect us as quickly as if they happened in our own village? Events can be experienced simultaneously throughout the world. How does this affect economic globalization?

3. Overview of the Recent History 1950s—Not Global

4. Our Starting Point to Examine the World Per Capita GDP

5. The Economy’s Income, Expenditure, and Production Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – Measures the total income of everyone in the economy – Measures the total expenditure on the economy’s output of goods and services – Measures production in the economy For an economy as a whole – Income must equal expenditure must equal production 5

6. Measurement of Gross Domestic Product Gross domestic product (GDP) – Market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time “GDP is the market value…” – Market prices - reflect the value of the goods “… goods and services…” – Tangible goods & intangible services “… produced…” – Goods and services currently produced “… within a country…” – Goods and services produced domestically, regardless of the nationality of the producer “… in a given period of time” – A year or a quarter 6

7. Real Versus Nominal GDP Total spending rises from one year to the next – Economy - producing a larger output of goods and services – And/or goods and services are being sold at higher prices Nominal GDP – Production of goods and services – Valued at current prices Real GDP – Production of goods and services – Valued at constant prices – Designate one year as base year – Not affected by changes in prices 7

48. Trade in Goods and Services

49. Will we continue?

50. China China has had a HUGE transformation – They have been growing at 8 – 10% – At that rate you double every decade. Imagine a 20 year old worker in 1980 – Doubles in the 80s – Doubles in the 90s – Doubles in the 00s – That is a factor of 8 and the worker is in her 50s!!!

51. Challenges Inequality Poverty Resources Urbanization Water Oil

52. How will this affect the US Global economic growth will be less dependent on the US. US will not be able to control the pace of change. US will not be able to control world oil prices. US does not control growth rates in foreign countries. US does not have overwhelming power in commercial technology. US does not control flows of international financial capital. US does not control the value of its currency
