How do we compare different countries
There are several useful ways to compare countries, including population size, GDP and GDP per capita, trade balance, Human Development Index, and the Demographic Transition Model. GDP is one of the primary indicators used to measure a country's economy and represents the total monetary value of all goods and services produced over a period of time. The Human Development Index, calculated by the UN, provides a more comprehensive view by also considering factors like life expectancy, education levels, and GDP per capita. The Demographic Transition Model outlines four stages of population growth and decline based on birth and death rates.
Module 38 productivity and growth
The document discusses factors that affect productivity and economic growth, using examples from different regions. It examines how physical capital, human capital, technology, and their combination contribute to productivity. The aggregate production function and growth accounting are introduced to quantify these relationships. Examples from South Korea, Latin America, and Africa illustrate how political stability, education, investment, and other policies impact long-term growth rates. While Africa faces challenges, some nations have achieved increases in productivity and GDP.
Economic growth main
The document discusses economic growth, which can be defined as an increase in the output an economy produces over time or an increase in its productive potential as shown by an outward shift in its production possibility frontier (PPF). The PPF depicts maximum output possibilities given available resources. Economic growth occurs when an economy employs new technology, production methods, labor, raw materials or specialization through division of labor, leading to an outward PPF shift. Inward PPF shifts indicate reduced capacity from resource depletion, failure to invest, natural disasters or asymmetric growth between sectors. Factors influencing growth include social capital, technology, investment, health, education, productivity, population changes, trade and business environment policies. GDP and GNP per capita are measures
Module 37 long run economicgrowth
The key statistic for tracking economic growth is real GDP per capita. Growth in real GDP per capita indicates a country's economic progress over time. Some countries like China and the US have grown notably, while others like Argentina and Zimbabwe have had disappointing growth. Long-run growth depends on rising productivity, which is output per worker. Productivity increases when workers have more capital, education, and technology to work with. The accumulation of innovations and adoption of new technologies are major drivers of productivity and economic growth.
Introduction To Macroeconomics
This document provides an introduction to key concepts in macroeconomics, including defining macroeconomics and discussing measures like GDP, unemployment rate, and CPI. It summarizes GDP as the total market value of final goods and services produced in a country in a year, measured through expenditure and income approaches. It also outlines how the unemployment rate and CPI are calculated as important economic indicators.
Module 40 economic growth in macroeconomic models
Long-run economic growth is defined as a sustained rise in output over time, as opposed to short-term business cycle fluctuations. Growth depends on rising productivity, which is fostered by good policy promoting capital investment, education, technology, and stability. This is shown as an outward shift of the production possibilities curve (PPC) and a rightward shift of the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) curve. While actual output varies in the short run, potential output increases through long-run growth.
Topic 9 - (Add) International Trade
This document discusses international trade and government policies around trade. It defines key terms like exports, imports, and comparative advantage. Countries will export goods they have a comparative advantage in producing and import goods they don't. The document outlines arguments for free trade, like increased specialization and efficiency, and more goods at lower prices. It also discusses protectionist views in favor of restricting trade, using policies like tariffs, quotas, and embargoes to protect domestic industries. International agreements and organizations that aim to facilitate trade are also covered.
Government Expenditure and Economic Growth Nexus: Empirical Evidence from Nig...
This study has examined the impact of public expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria using time
series data for the period 1970-2012. Secondary data were sourced from the CBN, NBS, journals, text books
etc. The adopted model was fitted with three variables: real GDP, capital and recurrent expenditure. The tools
of analysis were the ADF unit root test and ordinary least square multiple regression accompanied by pairwise
Granger causality test. The major objective of this study is to analyse the impact as well as direction of
causality between the fiscal variables and economic growth. All the variables included in the model are
stationary at level. Empirical findings from the study show that there is positive and insignificant relationship
between capital expenditure and economic growth while recurrent expenditure had a significant positive impact
on economic growth. Also, Granger causality test demonstrates a unidirectional causality running from the
fiscal variables to economic growth in validation of the Keynesian theory. Consequently, the study
recommended more allocation of resources for recurrent purposes as well; government should establish the
body that will monitor contract awarding process of capital projects closely, to guard against over estimation of
project cost and stealing of public funds.

Macroeconomic Management
The document provides an overview of the Australian economy, including its strong performance over the past decade driven by demand for commodities and ties with China. It notes that Australia has a stable, prosperous and competitive economy that has attracted global business, though it will need to adapt to challenges around demographic shifts, climate change and global economic changes.
Factors affecting economic development and growth
Economic growth can be impacted by many factors including interest rates, tax levels, currency strength, government intervention, environmental perceptions, overall economic health, and the natural business cycle. Specifically, high interest rates deter investment and expansion while low rates stimulate growth. New regulations can significantly impact industries as small producers may be unable to comply with high costs. The public's view of an industry's environmental impact can also influence economic development if products are seen as harmful. Broader economic trends, like recessions, affect growth as consumers spend less on discretionary items and companies scale back production.
The theory of balanced growth
The theory of balanced growth proposes that simultaneous investments should be made across multiple industries in order to spur economic development. This would enlarge the market and incentivize more investment. Theorists like Lewis, Ghosh, Ragnar, and List discussed balanced growth in terms of maintaining balance between industry and agriculture, consumption and investment, and domestic versus foreign trade. Balanced growth is argued to promote inclusive, balanced regional development through specialization and creation of infrastructure, but critics note the challenges of coordinated planning and resource constraints in developing countries.
Macroeconomic environment ppt
This document provides definitions and concepts related to macroeconomics and the macroeconomic environment of business. It defines macroeconomics as the study of the overall economy and discusses key macroeconomic objectives, indicators, and policies. It also explains concepts like GDP, GNP, inflation, money supply, and how they are measured. National income accounting and different economic systems are also summarized.
ECONOMICS Chapter 3
This document discusses the measurement of macroeconomic aggregates including national product and national income. It defines key terms like GDP, GNP, NDP and describes the output, expenditure and income methods used to measure national income. It also discusses real vs nominal GNP, price indices, money supply measures, difficulties in measurement and the uses of national income statistics.
Macro Economics PPT
Here are three questions related to the material:
1. Why is GDP considered a better measure of economic well-being than GNP? GDP captures total production that occurs within a country's borders, including production by foreign-owned firms, while GNP captures production by citizens of that country wherever it occurs. GDP is therefore a better reflection of the total output and economic activity in a country.
2. What are some limitations of using GDP as a measure of economic well-being? While GDP is a useful measure, it does not capture many factors that contribute to quality of life and well-being, such as environmental quality, leisure time, inequality, health, education levels, etc. GDP also does not distinguish between beneficial and harmful
Introduction to Macroeconomics
This document defines basic economic terms and concepts. It discusses that goods can be tangible, like materials, or intangible, like services. It also defines different types of goods like consumer goods, capital goods, luxury goods, and free goods. The four factors of production are land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Land includes natural resources. Labor represents human capital. Capital includes monetary and physical resources. Entrepreneurs combine the factors. The three main economic systems are the traditional economy, command economy, and market economy. The production possibilities frontier illustrates the key economic problem of scarcity and tradeoffs in production.
Economic growth
The document discusses economic growth and development models. It provides an overview of Rostow's stages of growth model which outlines five stages that countries progress through: traditional society, preconditions for take-off, take-off, drive to maturity, and high mass consumption. Key factors that influence economic development are also examined, including natural resources, human resources, capital formation, technology, and socio-cultural factors. The application of Keynesian economic theory to developing countries is also considered.
Macro-economics final project
The document is an acknowledgement and presentation of a project report on trends in macroeconomic variables for Pakistan by a group of students. It thanks Allah, their teachers including Sir. Badarudin for their guidance. It introduces the group members and acknowledges help from others in completing the project.
The Emerging Pattern of Structural Change
The Bangladeshi economy has undergone significant structural changes over the past four decades. The share of agriculture in GDP has declined from over 60% to less than 20%, while industry and services have increased substantially. The manufacturing sector has become increasingly oriented towards ready-made garments, driven by the expansion of the RMG industry. The unemployment rate is low but many workers suffer from underemployment and informal employment. Structural change models focus on how economies transform from agriculture to more modern manufacturing and services. Lewis's model and Chenery's patterns of development analysis are two influential structural change models.
Basic concept of macro economics
- Macroeconomics deals with aggregate economic indicators such as output, consumption, employment, investment and price levels of an entire economy. It analyzes performance, structure and decision-making of national, regional and global economies.
- Three major macroeconomic concerns are unemployment, inflation and output growth. Unemployment refers to those without work, inflation is a sustained increase in price levels, and output growth is changes in economic activity and development.
- Macroeconomics is important for understanding how the whole economy works, evaluating overall performance through national income, analyzing causes of economic issues, and understanding individual economic unit behavior in context of aggregates.
Intro to Macroeconomics
Macroeconomics studies the economy as a whole, looking at factors like GDP, unemployment rates, inflation, and how governments can influence economic performance. GDP is the total value of goods and services produced in a country in a year, and can be calculated through expenditures on consumption, government spending, investments, and net exports. Unemployment rates measure what percentage of the labor force is unemployed, and different types of unemployment include structural, frictional, cyclical, and seasonal. Inflation is measured through the Consumer Price Index, which tracks price changes in a basket of consumer goods and is used to calculate inflation rates.
Al 12 - chapter 4
This document provides an overview of chapter 4 of a Grade 12 Economics textbook. It covers key macroeconomic concepts like national accounts, circular flow of income, and approaches to compiling national accounts using output, expenditure and income. It also defines macroeconomic objectives such as full employment, price stability, economic growth, balance of payments stability, equitable income distribution, and sustainable development. Specific policies and indicators are discussed for each objective.
The big push theory
The Big Push Theory proposes that developing countries require a minimum threshold of investment across multiple industries to overcome issues of indivisibilities and break out of poverty. It identifies three types of indivisibilities: in production due to infrastructure needs, in demand due to small markets, and in savings due to high investment requirements. The theory argues for coordinated investment in social overhead capital and multiple industries to realize increasing returns to scale. However, it has been criticized for not providing clear guidance and overlooking constraints faced by developing countries.

Government Expenditure and Economic Growth in Nigeria, 1981-2013: A Bound Tes...International Journal of Economics and Financial Research
Abstract: The paper examines the impact of public sectoral expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria for the period 1981-2013. It was observed that the growth of government expenditure has not fully felt by the economy. The econometric methodology employed is the ARDL model and results show that while the impact of government expenditure on administration and debt servicing were positive on economic growth in the long and short run, expenditure on economic and social sectors has negative impact. We argue that this may not be unconnected with the high level of corruption prevalent in the public sector where funds that are meant for provision or maintenance of social-economic activities like agriculture, roads, transportations, schools and hospitals are diverted for personal use. The CUSUM and CUSUMSQ test show the model is stable as neither of them cross the 5% boundary. The paper recommended that government should increase expenditure to the social and economic sectors while debts or debt servicing should be reduced. Also, corruption so prevalent in the public sector must be minimized if cannot be eradicated.Basic Economic problems

GDP as a measure of Economic Growth and Standard of Living
This revision presentation provides an introduction to the concept of GDP as a measure of economic growth and an indicator of the standard of living.
Introduction to Macroeconomics
This document provides an introduction to macroeconomic concepts including consumption, investment, government spending, international trade, and applications for managers. It defines consumption as the use of goods and services to satisfy human wants, and describes the importance of consumption. It also defines investment and the different types, as well as the purposes and roles of government spending and international trade measures like exports, imports, and net exports. Finally, it discusses how macroeconomic trends can impact businesses and why managers should consider the macroeconomic environment when making decisions.
Module 39 growth policy
1) Economic growth rates differ across countries due to differences in capital accumulation, human capital development, and technological progress.
2) Governments play an important role in promoting or limiting long-term growth through their influence on physical capital investment, human capital development through education, and technological progress through funding of research.
3) While natural resource scarcity and environmental issues pose challenges, most economists are optimistic that modern economies can overcome these challenges through technology, incentives to conserve resources, and market-based policies to reduce environmental impacts like carbon taxes.
National income
The document discusses various methods for calculating and measuring national income and gross domestic product (GDP) of a country. It provides definitions and formulas for calculating gross national product (GNP), gross domestic product (GDP), net national product (NNP). It also discusses the expenditure approach and income approach to measuring GDP and how GDP relates to a country's overall economic activity and welfare.
Explaining variations in global demographic indicators
This document discusses the stages of demographic transition and their implications. It describes 5 stages:
Stage 1) Pre-industrial society with high birth and death rates. Children are an economic benefit.
Stage 2) Death rates fall leading to population growth.
Stage 3) Birth rates start to decline bringing populations toward stability.
Stage 4) Populations reach low, stable birth and death rates.
Stage 5) Some populations now have below replacement fertility rates, causing population declines without immigration. Countries like Japan and parts of Europe are in this stage.

Demography
Demography is the statistical study of human populations and how they change over time or space. It involves analyzing the size, structure, and distribution of populations, as well as changes in populations due to birth, migration, aging, and death. Demography is important for sociology and other social sciences because all social groups are populations that change in size, location, and characteristics over time, impacting cultures, economies, politics, and societies. Demographers study overall population size, territorial distribution of populations, and population composition.
Political science and politics
The document discusses the relationship between political science and politics. It begins by defining political science as the systematic study of the state, government, and their relationship to citizens and other states. It then contrasts politics, which deals with current issues and problems faced by governments, and political science, which studies the theory of state and government. However, the modern view presented is that there is no clear difference, as political science is the study of politics, making the terms interchangeable. The document aims to clarify the relationship between these two concepts.
Introduction Linguistics
Linguistics is the systematic study of human language that lies at the crossroads of the humanities and social sciences. It combines intuition and scientific approaches to analyze language. Linguistics includes the study of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. It examines the sound systems of languages, word and sentence formation, meaning, and how context impacts language use. The goal is to describe and explain patterns in language.
Politics and journalism in crisis: from Edstone to Trump tweets 2017
This document discusses the changing relationship between politics, journalism, and the public in light of digital technologies and social media. It notes that political reporting is now networked across media, politicians, and citizens. Networked political journalism utilizes multiple sources, formats, platforms, and aims to include public participation. However, digital technologies can also lead to an overabundance of information, filter bubbles, fragmentation, and distraction. Politicians like Corbyn and Trump have attempted to bypass traditional media, but this has not necessarily improved their popularity or engagement. Overall, the document questions how mainstream news media and politics can regain relevance and trust without trying to regain total control over political information flows.
Organogenesis & somatic hybridrization
Organogenesis is the process by which plant organs like roots, shoots, flowers develop from explants. It is influenced by physical factors like light and temperature, and chemical factors like cytokinins and auxins. Organogenesis has advantages like being cheap, fast, and allowing for easy scaling up. Somatic hybridization involves fusing protoplasts from two plant species using techniques like PEG-mediated fusion. It allows for transferring genes between sexually incompatible plants but has challenges like low regeneration rates and hybrid viability. It differs from organogenesis in producing bipolar embryos without connections to parent tissue.
210 Clash of Civilizations
Huntington argues that after the Cold War, cultural and religious identities will be the primary cause of global conflict. He identifies major civilizations like Western, Islamic, Hindu, and Sinic civilizations. According to Huntington, clashes will occur along the fault lines between these civilizations. He believes civilizations are differentiated by fundamental aspects like history, language, culture and religion, which will prevent quick resolution of conflicts between civilizations. As interactions across civilizations increase in a globalized world, people will increasingly identify with their shared civilization over other identities.
DEMOGRAPHY
Demography is the scientific study of human populations, including changes in population size and composition. It focuses on fertility, mortality, marriage, and migration. There are five stages of the demographic cycle: high stationary, early expansion, late expansion, low stationary, and declining. Demographic measurement tools are used to study and measure populations statistically and dynamically, including birth rate, death rate, growth rate, and life expectancy. World population has grown significantly over time, reaching 1 billion in 1800 and over 7 billion currently, with most of the growth occurring in developing countries in Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
Introduction to Political Science

Demography
Demography is the scientific study of human populations. Key events in the history of demography include Ibn Khaldun's work in the 14th century, John Graunt producing the first life table in the 17th century, and John Snow mapping cholera deaths in London in the 19th century. Major population theories include Malthus' theory of unchecked population growth outstripping resources, Marx's view that population is controlled by economic factors, and the demographic transition theory of declining birth and death rates as countries develop. India's current population is over 1.2 billion with a growth rate of 17.6% in the last decade. Key demographic indicators of India include sex ratio, age composition, and dependency ratio.
Nature and Scope of Political Science
This presentation is about political science and for the students who want to learn political science as an academic discipline.
Demography
Demography is the statistical study of human populations and encompasses the size, structure, and distribution of populations over time and space in response to births, deaths, and migration. Demographic data can be collected directly from vital records like censuses or birth/death records, or indirectly by surveying samples about topics like fertility rates. The scope of demography includes both macro-level trends like economic issues and population growth, as well as micro-level topics like individual families. A balanced view of demography encompasses factors like population size, composition, distribution, labor forces, and population policies.
Indicators of development
This document discusses various demographic indicators and compares statistics between first, second, and third world countries. It defines indicators like fertility rate, mortality rate, population growth rate, migration rate, and discusses metrics for countries like Canada, China, and Pakistan. Fertility rates are declining in developed nations due to economic factors influencing family size. Mortality rates are falling globally due to improved healthcare. Population growth is highest in the third world due to sustained high fertility and declining mortality. Migration is influenced by various push-pull factors. Overall life expectancy and health outcomes are better in the first world compared to other nations.
meaning and scope of political science (1)
This document provides an overview of the meaning and scope of political science. It defines political science as the study of the state, government, and power. The scope of political science has expanded over time to include the study of political systems, governments, power dynamics, and human political behavior. The document also distinguishes between political science as an academic discipline and politics in practice. While political science involves the systematic study of political institutions and processes, politics refers more broadly to political activities, processes, and conflicts within society.
Vital statistics and demography
This document provides an overview of vital statistics and demography. It defines vital statistics as data dealing with human mortality, morbidity and demography. Key sources of population data are identified as censuses, registration of vital events, sample registration surveys, and institutional records. Details are given on census taking methods, uses of censuses, census in Nepal, information collected in censuses, and measurement of population, mortality, fertility, and other demographic indicators.
Introduction to political science
Political science is defined as the study of the state and government. It analyzes the stages of studying political science from a religious to a modern stage. Key figures like Aristotle and Machiavelli contributed to the development of political science. A state is defined as a group of people occupying a definite territory with an independent government and sovereignty. The difference between a nation and a state is that a nation refers to a ethnic or racial group, while a state is a legal concept. Citizenship can be changed but nationality is absolute and innate.
Theories, Concepts and Models of Development
The document discusses different perspectives on what constitutes development. It is defined as a multidimensional process involving transformation in structures, attitudes, and institutions to accelerate economic growth, reduce inequality, and eradicate poverty. Development aims to increase access to basic necessities and raise living standards. It also extends economic and social choices available to individuals and nations. The document outlines various scholars' views on development in economic, social, political, and institutional contexts.

Globalization Effects on Country Institutions, People and Business
Chapter 3
Key Points for the Chapter
Economic development comprises positive economic growth and entails changes in a country’s political, economic, and cultural institutions, as well as in individual values, attitudes, and behaviors.
Economic development requires resources from public and private sectors, both internal and external.
Technology transfers by international corporations comprise manufacturing technologies, management organizations, and marketing know-how.
Intro: The Economic Development Process
Economic development is the progress countries make in living standards as they experience positive economic growth and the changes occurring in societal and cultural institutions and values as nations move toward more advanced stages of industrialization.
Economic progress demonstrates human progress, and more pragmatically, it keeps politicians in power, companies busy, and consumers (and voters) optimistic about the future.
Technology Transfers
International trade, investments, and global media have opened world markets up to a variety of modernizing influences.
In general terms, technology transfers occur as corporations enter new markets with products, technologies, lifestyles, and business methods developed in their home and other international markets.
Technology transfers first affect urban segments of developing countries where there are developed infrastructures and pocket of economically significant customers.
As media become commercialization and distribution channels are built into rural areas, greater proportions of developing-country populations come into contact with modernization influences.
4
Positive Effects
Positive effects occur as societies are exposed to broad varieties of products that make lives easier.
Convenience products such as packaged foods, and consumer durables such as refrigerators, radios, televisions, and stoves have positive effects on consumer lifestyles.
New technologies in manufacturing and distribution make products cheaper and more widely available. They provide employment opportunities for lo.
Globalization
The document discusses several topics related to globalization including its definition, forces driving it, and both positive and negative effects. It also covers international trade, foreign direct investment, protectionism, and the role of the World Bank. Globalization refers to the increasing global integration of economic, political, and cultural systems. The main drivers include improvements in transportation and communication networks as well as liberalization of cross-border trade. Potential benefits include increased economic growth and competition, while risks involve outsourcing jobs and increasing inequality between rich and poor nations.
The Effects of International Trade on Poverty and Development
This document discusses the effects of international trade on poverty and development. It examines how trade can help stimulate economic growth in developing countries by providing access to larger markets and new technologies, but notes that trade alone is not sufficient for sustained growth and poverty reduction. Other factors like education, infrastructure, governance and institutions also contribute significantly. While trade liberalization aims to boost growth and reduce poverty, it can sometimes increase inequality if not accompanied by policies to support disadvantaged groups through challenges like job losses or food price increases. Successful trade reforms combine open markets with assistance programs to help people negatively impacted.
Economic Classification in Comparative Economic Planning.pptx
Neoclassical economics integrates concepts from classical economics like the cost of production theory with utility maximization and marginalism. It is primarily concerned with the efficient allocation of limited resources and long-term economic growth. Neoclassical economics emphasizes market equilibrium and how demand drives the value of goods and services, in contrast to classical economics which focuses on costs of production determining value. Laissez-faire is a political ideology that rejects government intervention in the economy, advocating for minimal involvement and allowing free market forces to determine outcomes.

Finally, it discusses challenges of the modern global economy, including volatile capital flows and the difficulty of economic coordination across borders in today's interconnected world.
Chapter 2 classification of business
This document discusses the classification of businesses into three sectors: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The primary sector involves extraction and processing of natural resources. The secondary sector transforms raw materials into goods through manufacturing. The tertiary sector provides services. Most developed countries have larger tertiary sectors that employ more workers than other sectors. Developing countries rely more on primary sectors. Governments use mixed economies with both public and private sectors. Privatization involves selling state-owned businesses to private owners to increase efficiency.
Glob
This document summarizes an IMF report on globalization. It discusses how globalization has led to increasing integration of economies through greater movement of goods, services, capital and people across borders. It provides statistics showing rising global trade, foreign investment, and financial and personal flows between countries. The summary concludes that while globalization has benefits like increased access to goods, jobs and living standards, there are also risks that must be managed through policies promoting strong and stable economies.
Business environment
The document discusses various concepts related to business environment and economic activities. It defines key terms like liberalization, privatization, and economic systems. It describes factors in the general environment like economic conditions, political system, demographics, and culture. It also explains competitive forces in the task environment, market entry strategies, and methods to measure economic activity like GDP, inflation, unemployment etc. Strategic orientations for international market entry and reasons for Indian privatization are also summarized.
Approaches To Development
The document discusses several approaches to economic development, including "trickle down" or "top down" approaches that focus on enabling large companies and wealthy individuals to thrive with the goal that their success will benefit others. Other approaches discussed include growth pole theory, grassroots or "bottom up" development that focuses on directly helping lift people out of poverty, fair trade, regional development, export-led growth, import substitution, foreign direct investment, and contrasting Keynesian and neo-liberal economic philosophies. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are also briefly outlined.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
