Global geopolitical tensions often play a pivotal role in shaping people’s perceptions of economic growth. Research shows concern about such issues can cause people and businesses to become more cautious about spending and investing, which can ultimately lead to economic recession.The recent escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict is no different. Investors around the world are worried about the repercussions of this war – particularly in light of an already bleak picture for global economic growth.Internal and inter-state conflicts often have a significant effect on stock market indices, exchange rates, and commodity prices – sometimes even sending prices higher in the lead-up to hostilities. The longer-term economic impact is typically more complicated to assess, however. The lasting effects of even seemingly dramatic events on investor behaviour can be hard to predict.This uncertainty is reflected in the risk premium in oil markets. This is the price paid for oil traded ahead of…

Which of the following statements best describes the rate of growth in productivity (TFP) in the United States since 1950? Productivity growth has been steady. Productivity has been growing more slowly every decade. Productivity grew quickly in the 1950s and 1960s, more slowly from the early 1970s through 1995, and then quickly again with a slowdown in recent years. Productivity grew slowly from the 1950s through the 1970s, and then began to accelerate, probably due to advances in computer technology. Productivity has been growing more quickly every decade since World War II Suppose that the money supply will grow by 20% in Argentina over the next 10 years. Velocity is constant.

- Economic growth typically results in rising standards of living and prosperity. However, it also invites negative externalities such as environmental degradation due to over-exploiting of natural resources. As such, the world is confronted with the dilemma of growth versus environmental sustainability. Developing a model explaining the disparity of economic development concentrating on drivers such as tourism sustainability, technological innovation and the quality of leadership would be important not only to facilitate future economic growth in developing countries, but also to the environmental and sociocultural sustainability which ultimately lead to global sustainable development. The present research objective is to develop and test framework of sustainable development by considering the elements of tourism, technological innovation, and national leadership. This further would facilitate growth, environmental and socio-cultural sustainability. Understanding the integration of…arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a true statement?

Most economists believe that increases in real GDP actually produce decreases in overall economic well-being because of spillover costs.

Emerging markets, developing countries, and newly industrialized countries are terms that are often used interchangeably for an underdeveloped country. These countries have very low per capita income and many residents live in very poor conditions, including lacking access to education and health care. Additionally, underdeveloped countries have obsolete methods of production and social organization. These nations often experience high birth rates and high population growth, further contributing to their widespread poverty. The most accurate way to categorize the development of countries is by using the Human Development Index (HDI). The Human Development index looks at each country’s human development such as life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators. Human Development Index ranks countries on a scale from 0-1, from least developed to…arrow_forwardAn underdeveloped country is a country characterized by chronic widespread poverty and less economic development than other nations.
