Will the US election trump the economy in 2017?RBS Economics
With the 2016 US Presidential election approach there have been questions about what this could mean for the US economy in 2017. In this blog, economist Rupert Seggins draws on the historical experience of the US and its G7 peers to offer an answer.
While this time may be different, history suggests that the bar for a President-caused US recession in 2017 is set much higher than may commonly be thought.

The document summarizes freight demand and supply trends in the trucking industry in 2009. It finds that domestic demand will remain weak due to issues in housing, consumer spending, and commercial construction. International demand is also declining. While trucking capacity growth was moderate, excess capacity exists due to the economic downturn. Rates are expected to drop further in early 2009 before a supply correction occurs. The recovery will be gradual and dependent on the broader economic recovery.
This document discusses the resurgence of US manufacturing and its implications. It notes that US exports have grown faster than GDP since 2005 as US manufacturing costs have become competitive versus other nations due to cheaper labor, energy, electricity, and shipping. Bringing manufacturing back to the US could create millions of new jobs and lower unemployment, fueling consumer spending and stronger economic growth. The rise in US exports is expected to continue, benefiting the economy and supporting the bull market thesis for equities.

This document summarizes some of Donald Trump's major economic policies, including jobs, immigration, taxes, and trade. It discusses Trump's plans to add 25 million jobs over 10 years focusing on manufacturing. On immigration, it outlines Trump's proposals to build a 1,000 mile border wall. On taxes, it describes Trump's plans to simplify income tax brackets and lower the corporate tax rate. Finally, on trade, it discusses Trump's threats of tariffs on China and other countries, but warns that one of Trump's major economic policies - slowing China's growth through restricting imports - could potentially lead to a "global recession" through effects on oil prices, commodities, trade, and corporate business.
"The 3 Rs: Recession, Resources + Recovery" - speech by reknown economist and Dean of the Maxine Goodman Levine College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University...Dr. Ned Hill. Given at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the Ohio Economic Development Association (OEDA).
The document discusses the trade war between the US and China. It provides background on how the conflict began with the US imposing tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese goods and China retaliating with tariffs on $110 billion of US goods. A key reason for tensions is the large US trade deficit with China. The trade war is negatively impacting both economies and global markets. Several rounds of escalating tariffs are outlined from 2018 to 2019.

The document provides an overview of the Hollywood movie cluster located in Southern California. It begins with background on the US economy and competitive advantages, noting its large GDP, consumer spending, innovation, and cluster development. It then discusses California's economy, with the largest GDP of any US state. Los Angeles is highlighted as the center of the Hollywood movie cluster, with a diverse population and strong support for entertainment industries. The history and current state of the motion picture industry is covered, noting its origins in Southern California and continued dominance from Hollywood. Key factors that support the cluster are also summarized, such as infrastructure, skilled labor, and support industries in the area.
The document discusses inflation pressures in the US economy and how that may impact gold prices. Several economic reports showed rising prices and supply constraints. Manufacturing and business surveys highlighted increasing backlogs, shortages, and delivery delays. Wage growth in leisure/hospitality surpassed 9% year-over-year. While the Fed claims inflation is transitory, the document argues their rhetoric on this is fading. It concludes that disappointing jobs reports may boost the dollar and Treasury yields, putting pressure on gold prices.
The document discusses the effects of a strong US dollar on the US economy. It notes that while a strong dollar benefits consumers through lower import prices and inflation, it hurts US-based multinational corporations as their foreign profits are worth less when converted to dollars. It also negatively impacts US manufacturers and exporters as their goods become more expensive overseas, which could weigh on US economic growth given manufacturing's large GDP contribution. Overall, the strong dollar presents challenges and opportunities for different sectors of the US economy.
Daily Economic Update for October 18, 2010NAR Research
The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index rose three points to 16 in October, indicating the first increase in builder confidence in five months, though levels remain below 50 representing a balanced market. Industrial production decreased 0.2% in September led by declines in nonindustrial supplies and construction, though mining increased. While the 10-year Treasury rate has held steady at 2.625% the past three months, down from 3.375% in January, lower long-term borrowing costs could benefit other financial markets.
1. The United States and European Union account for nearly half of global economic output and total annual commerce between the two exceeds $6.5 trillion. Companies from both regions have invested heavily in each other's markets, totaling over $3 trillion.
2. The US and EU are pursuing an ambitious trade agreement called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) to further strengthen economic ties and eliminate trade barriers that could boost annual US exports to the EU by $300 billion and increase the purchasing power of the average American family by $900.
3. Regulatory cooperation under TTIP could save billions by reducing duplicative testing and certification costs for companies operating in both markets, lowering prices for consumers

The document summarizes key aspects of the global capital market including:
1) International capital markets allow countries to gain from trade by facilitating the exchange of assets which helps diversify risk.
2) Major actors in capital markets include commercial banks, corporations, and central banks, with banks playing a large role through offshore banking and eurocurrency markets.
3) While capital markets provide benefits, international banking is difficult to regulate due to issues like deposit insurance and central bank lender of last resort responsibilities being unclear in a global context.
CHINESE INVESTMENT IN THE US - AVOIDING THE MISTAKES OF THE JAPANESESatoruMurase
This document discusses Chinese investment in the United States and draws parallels to Japanese investment in the 1980s to identify potential mistakes to avoid. Some key mistakes of Japanese investors included trophy acquisitions during an investment frenzy, difficulties managing U.S. operations, failing to gauge the political climate amidst "Japan bashing," and cultural issues. To avoid these, the document suggests Chinese investors structure deals to avoid prominence, become major U.S. employers, and consider the political environment. It provides a comparison of factors between Japan in the 1980s and China today.
The document summarizes the improving US economic picture in contrast to challenges facing Europe. It notes that US job growth, retail sales, auto sales and housing are picking up as government continues support through policies like payroll tax cuts, unemployment benefits, and monetary easing. However, it also lists potential "dream killers" like a hard landing in China, an oil shock from Iran issues, or contagion from Europe's fiscal problems and lack of aggressive central bank intervention could still lead to recession in the US. The document then provides an update on new features added to its economic analysis tool in 2011 and previews its 2012 roadmap.
MergeGlobal - 2009 Containerized demand in main markets presentation final3GIntermodal
This document provides an analysis of global containerized sea freight demand drivers and outlook. It finds that containerized freight flows are concentrated in Asia, North America, and Europe. Demand is primarily driven by consumer spending in North America and Europe ("demand-pull"). The document forecasts a slow recovery in global container volumes from 2009 to 2014, with peak pre-recession volumes restored by 2012. Volumes are expected to rebound in key trade lanes like Asia-North America and Asia-Europe as underlying economic growth returns.
COMPLETE GUIDE ON WRITING A CLASSIFICATION ESSAY ON GLOBALIZATIONLauren Bradshaw
The document provides a comprehensive guide on how to write a classification essay on globalization, including choosing a topic, gathering information from various sources, establishing categories to classify the topic, and providing examples and facts to support each category. It offers potential topics to write about, such as the types and impacts of globalization, and how globalization has increased economic interdependence between countries. The document concludes by listing references that could provide additional information on analyzing and researching the topic of globalization for the essay.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT INFLUENCES THE OPERATIONS OF THE BUSINESSprince koduah

The document discusses three levels of innovation - high level (breakthrough discoveries), mid level (implementation of discoveries), and ground level (context-specific innovations to commercialize products). It argues that while high level innovations are important, sustained prosperity relies on innovations at all levels working together over many years in a complex system. As an example, it outlines the multi-decade process by which the transistor was developed from an initial discovery into a ubiquitous technology through innovations at multiple levels. It concludes that policies should focus on sustaining innovation broadly rather than favoring any particular level or form.

The document discusses Brazil's economy between 2002 and 2011 based on two figures and an extract.
Figure 1 shows Brazil's GDP per capita increased from $7,800 to $11,700 over this period. Figure 2 shows Brazil's population grew from 176m to 203m. Therefore, Brazil's total GDP increased approximately 53% from $1.78 trillion to $2.73 trillion.
The extract mentions Brazil's currency, the Real, appreciated nearly 40% against other currencies since 2008. This was due to high interest rates attracting speculative capital inflows and increased exports of commodities like soybeans contributing to a current account surplus.
An appreciation could improve Brazil's current account balance in the short-
This document summarizes a research paper analyzing home bias in mutual fund investment strategies. It studied 30 randomly selected mutual funds across the US. It found that 73% exhibited home bias by overweighting industries prominent in their home state, and these funds achieved higher 7.45% average returns versus 4.95% for funds without home bias. Funds that invested most heavily in their home state's largest industry achieved the highest 9.04% returns. Smaller state economies showed weaker home bias and influence of local industries. The study provides evidence that home bias can be a profitable investment strategy for mutual funds.
The document summarizes recent trends in the meetings industry based on a presentation by HelmsBriscoe. Key points include:
- Occupancy levels remain weak globally but are improving, while average daily rates are beginning to recover.
- Shorter meeting lengths of stay and booking windows are common trends.
- Associations are facing declining membership and attendance at meetings.
- Exhibitors at trade shows are reducing staff attendance and booth sizes in response to the recession.
- Meeting planners expect increased off-site meetings and attendance in 2010-2011 compared to 2009.
This document provides a stock valuation of General Electric Company using several models. It first discusses GE's industry and company overview, strengths, and weaknesses. It then estimates the intrinsic value of GE's stock using the constant growth dividend model, residual income model, and market multiples approaches. The constant growth dividend model estimates a value lower than the current stock price, suggesting the stock is overvalued and recommending a short position.
The United States Turns Inward: Thoughts on US Trade Policy and US-Asian Trade Relations by Keith Maskus
http://iems.ust.hk/events/insights/maskus-united-states-turns-inward-thoughts-on-us-trade-policy-and-us-asian-trade-relations
The document discusses the importance of manufacturing for the U.S. economy and jobs. It summarizes trends showing a decline in manufacturing employment from 1970-2010 due largely to rising trade deficits, not productivity. Unfair trade practices like currency manipulation by other countries and their subsidies have contributed significantly. The decline can be addressed by reforming trade policies to curb manipulation, ending subsidies, and providing more support for U.S. manufacturers through job training, R&D funding, and infrastructure investment.

1. While economic growth has historically enabled societies to improve lives, national policy choices ultimately determine growth. China's success was due to government efforts to restructure and diversify their economy.
2. As China's manufacturing powerhouse faces rising costs, it must move up the value chain, improve quality, and focus on domestic consumption and developing its own brands.
3. China's environmental pollution has global impacts, and its continued development depends on balancing growth with legal, social and environmental sustainability.
The document discusses major changes in the global economic landscape including the rise of China and India and their growing economic power. It also discusses changes in the global financial system and energy markets. The adjustment to these changes presents both opportunities like new markets and risks like financial volatility. The global economy is becoming more interconnected and interdependent, with developing countries playing a larger role. However, globalization has also increased inequality and economic integration requires careful management.

Presentación de Stiglitz en Colombia. 2009Aurelio Suárez
This document discusses challenges facing Colombia related to employment, security, and development. It notes that unemployment has long been higher in Colombia than other Latin American countries and rose to its highest rate in the region during the recent global recession. Despite GDP growth, job growth has been weak with many new jobs being low-quality, informal positions. The document examines potential explanations for Colombia's unemployment and weak job growth, and proposes solutions like tax reforms, exchange rate interventions, industrial policies, and ensuring a balanced role for markets and the government in promoting growth, employment, and stability.

This document analyzes the political, economic, social, and technological changes between 1974-1985 and their impact on Walmart. Politically, there was distrust in government due to Watergate and changes in presidency. Economically, it was a difficult time with stagflation, recessions, and rising unemployment. Socially, there was an increase in single-parent households and personal savings. Technologically, Walmart adopted barcode scanners and a satellite network for communication.
- Bill Gates gave an interview where he committed $2 billion to new energy research and argued the US government invests too little in energy R&D compared to other fields like pharmaceuticals.
- The document discusses how governments and states play a key role in high-risk basic research before private companies invest, citing examples from the internet and computing. It also references an economics professor who argues private companies only invest after the state takes on most risks.
- It analyzes the close relationship between governments, especially the US, and the oil industry, noting lobbying against alternative fuels and how reliant some states are on oil exporters, suggesting this hinders investment and progress on new energy sources.
The document discusses the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis and its impact on the current global economic situation. It notes that the Asian crisis involved major economic problems in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. This crisis contributed to an oversupply of US dollars that has impacted the global economy. Foreign investors flooded money into Asian countries without understanding the risks, fueling real estate and stock market bubbles. When the bubbles burst, it led to worldwide economic repercussions still being felt today.

Though there has been the existence of the trade restrictions, over the past the United State economy has significantly made headway to penetrate the mass Chinese market. As opposed to the two decades ago back in 1990, when the china economy was growing at 10% per year while the US was glowing at an average rate of 4% per annum. This has greatly improved by 2010 with a remarkable growth rate of 16% in china and 11% in United State. Capital goods export to china in recent years has significantly increased nearly to the half of the US export to China, including telecommunication equipments and aircraft and industrial machinery. Keller, W., & Shiue, C. (2008).
This remarkable improvement in trade pattern may be attributed from the favorable market situations, from year 2000 when china pledged a reduction of the tariff at a rate of 15%. Perhaps China has vowed to issue all enterprises in china, the right to directly trade with the foreign companies; while on other hand, United States enterprises would be free to market goods directly to the Chinese market. In this lieu, china has endeared in adoption of the trade standards so as to protect the intellectual properties rights.The trade statistics for the last five years of the two economies, (China and US) shows negative rate of growth which has been decreasing at an increasing rate from 2010. The data reveals that, lopsided characteristic of the trade and the financial flow between China and United states complicates the relationships of trade between the two economies.
