Chapter 1 The United States in a Global Economy

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.1-2 Learning Objectives Explain how economists measure international economic integration.

Discuss the differences in international economic integration at the end of the nineteenth century and the current era. Describe the major themes of international economics.

All rights reserved.1-3 Introduction: International Economic Integration International integration of national economies has brought many benefits to many nations –Technological innovation –Less expensive products –Greater investments in scarce resource regions

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.1-4 Elements of International Economic Integration Today’s major economies are more integrated than they’ve been at any time in history - Instantaneous communications - Modern transportation - Relatively open trading systems This allows most goods to move across boundaries without major obstacles and low relative costs

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.1-5 Elements of International Economic Integration (cont.) There are four criteria or measures for judging the degree of integration: 1.Trade flows 2.Capital flows 3.People flows 4.Similarity of prices in separate markets

All rights reserved.1-6 The Growth of World Trade Since the end of World War II, world trade has grown much faster than world output In 1950, total world exports were estimated to be 5.5% of world gross domestic product (GDP) By 2005, total world exports were 20.5% of world GDP

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.1-7 Trade to GDP ratio The trade to GDP ratio is the ratio of trade to GDP Trade to GDP ratio = (Exports +Imports)/GDP The ratio does not reveal a country’s trade policies or define its barriers to trade

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.1-9 Capital and Labor Mobility Factor movements are indicators of economic integration As national economies become more interdependent, labor and capital generally move more easily across international borders

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.1-10 Capital and Labor Mobility (cont.) Labor is less mobile internationally than it was in 1900 Capital flows are harder to measure

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.1-11 Capital and Labor Mobility (cont.) Two types of capital flows: flows of financial capital representing paper assets such as stocks, bonds, currencies, and bank accounts, and flows of capital representing physical assets such as real estate, factories, and businesses - foreign direct investment (FDI).

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.1-12 Capital and Labor Mobility (cont.) When comparing international capital flows today to a century ago, two points to keep in mind: 1.Savings and investment are highly correlated 2.Technology improvements increase capital flows

Copyright ©2014 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.1-13 Capital and Labor Mobility (cont.) Important quality differences in capital flows today: 1.Many more financial instruments available 2.Role of foreign exchange transactions 3.Costs of foreign transactions has fallen significantly (transaction costs)
