Economic Growth GDP Joblessness Unemployment

    This article ties in very well with the theme of economic growth because it discusses a variety of the components that determine economic growth, for example job numbers and GDP. It is also worth noting how economists arrive at their ultimate assessment of the nation's economic health, because it truly is quite complex. Also, the stocks and shares portion of the article on the right hand side are also quite telling.

    The article is talking about India is projected to grow by 6 per cent in the current fiscal while growth is expected to be steady in most of the Asia Pacific economies.It, however, cautioned that a weaker global risk appetite and a poor monsoon would pull down growth to around 5 per cent in 2013-14 fiscal. In India, poor monsoon seasons would pull growth down to around 5 per cent in 2013 and would reach 6.5 per cent.India's growth forecast has been lowered to 6 per cent in 2013 and 6.7 per cent in 2014 on weaker consumption and exports.

    I found this article to be very interesting, because i think it is important to stay up to date with all the current events around the world in terms of politics and the economy etc... However for the past few years i had always thought of Brazil being a very big economic growth country seeing as it was part of the "B.R.I.C." s but in this article from the LA times they say that Brazil fell short of their projections and are looking for a way to regain their original growth rate.

    As there is even larger income inequality between the rich and the poor, this may take a toll on U.S. economic growth. Income inequality helps explain why the U.S. is still in a recession and why the GDP is no longer growing.

    I felt that this was a good article, although rather lengthy, that has a discussion about the brazil's economic growth, is it real or just a "mirage" as they put it. Brazil has seen rather staggering economic growth in the last few years, however it is also being said that the country's leaders are not looking out of the citizens of brazil, and are in fact putting them at risk of economic downfall.

equilibrium

shared by Xinmian H on 15 Oct 12 - No Cached
  • Asia's go-go growth spurred the spread of countless factories, fed by expectations of exponential growth in demand.
  • Now that the boom has gone bust, Asia is suffering from capacity indigestion of monumental proportions.
  • Overcapacity in cement is so severe that unless plants are closed, the region may not see supply-demand equilibrium for at least seven years. China alone can produce nearly 110 million tons a year. Consumption in the region has fallen dramatically
  • Xinmian H on 15 Oct 12
     
    This article explained the relationship between supply and demand. The industrial demand in Asia had been increasing for so long that the factories kept adding supply. When the demand dramatically fall, Asia suffered capacity indigestion. The excess supply was too severe  that the equilibrium may not happen for 7 years. The demand could not keep up with supply.

    This article takes about the Reserve Bank has turned to a growth. The author explains how the aggregated demand (even not visible) isn't the main factor.
  • Adil R on 30 Mar 13
     
    This article is fairly recent and introduced me to another way of measuring economic growth in industries. the IIP stands for the Index for Industrial Production and it is discussed in the article that this value has corresponded to what has been expected, a negative number that is close to zero. This however is because there are many factors that are affecting aggregate supply, such as wage price inflation and the increase in land, a factor of production. However the author doesnt seem to be too worried about aggregate supply, rather He is worried that aggregate demand is on its way down.
  • Elnara H on 31 Mar 13
     
    This article talks about an increase in wages in India and that land prices is a key factor in wage changes. Also they are talking about a reserve bank, how it turned to grow and essential role of aggregate demand in it operating.

      This article asses Obama's stimulus plan. It talks off how congress passed the ARRA stimulus package which injected $787billion into the government sector. Obama stated that this package wouldnt allow the unemployment rate to pass 8% however it reached 10%. Obama said that the depth of the recession couldnt be foreseen however there were many people who predicted it.
  • that unemployment with his bailout would likely reach 10 percent.
  • he also doesn’t understand basic economic concepts such as “opportunity cost.

      Adil R on 18 Sep 12
       
      The article then goes on by stating Obama does not know the concept of opportunity cost. $787billion was taken out of the federal reserve to pay for federal programs resulting into the weakening of the current dollar value and inflation. This had an impact on everyone, nearly $7000 per household. Government jobs do not make a salary and therefore do not stimulate the economy. This can also lead to an increase in taxes whilst still barely benefiting the community. Opportunity cost kicks in here as the obama administration thought that this was the next big thing as apposed to injecting it to private sector. The article too talks about how private businesses contribute to the economy even if the company is failing as it still receives services and eventually the more efficient company will take over. Moreover they can make profits and they can better the economy by hiring or purchasing consumer goods.

    Investors and traders are betting on an increase in demand of copper in China, the world's largest user of metals. With the upcoming National Day week-long celebrations in China and continuing worries of the European debt crisis, many manufacturers are stockpiling and cutting risk. However, China is expected to announce new plans for economic growth and this, along with signs that future demand may increase, has returned the price of copper to $8175, up about 0.7%.

    I remember stumbling upon this article a couple of months ago and now i realise its relevance. The UAE is investing $5bn to Russia to improve its infrastructure which will not only benefit Russia and its citizens, but also leads to remittances back into UAE. This also leads to economic growth in every aspect for Russia, so it is mutually beneficial.

    Although the rate of economic growth in China has slowed recently, a high amount of Foreign Direct Investment in China shows that there is still a large amount of confidence in the economy. Investment increased 16.1% over last year, up to $10.76 billion. Growth has shifted away from manufacturing towards services, partly due to an effort by the government to restructure the economy. In addition, the FDI by China to foreign countries has increased by nearly 50% to $7.23 billion, showing that the country receives nearly the same amount in FDI as it provides to other countries, reflecting balanced investment,
