Stagflation and recession are increasingly being used to
describe where the economy might be headed. The
World Bank warned on 14th June 2022, that global
economies were at risk of stagflation if not recession.
"The world economy is again in danger," David
Malpass, president of the World Bank, said in the latest
edition of the Global Economic Prospects report. "It is
facing high inflation and slow growth at the same time.
Even if a global recession is averted, the pain of
stagflation could persist for several years - unless major
supply increases are set in motion.
Explain the main differences between stagflation and
recession, if we had to face one, which one would be
less painful?
According to the East Asia and Pacific Economic Update published by the World Bank in April 2015, the following factors have affected China's real GDP in 2015. -
A) Global economic recovery supports a moderate increase in China's exports.
B) China benefits from a fall in the world price of oil
C) Chinese government to cut excess capacity in heavy industry through an advance in
D) U.S. firms to relocate their labor-intensive manufacturing industries to low-cost countries. Explain how each of the above factors changes China’s short-run aggregate supply, long-run aggregate supply, aggregate demand, or some combination of them.
China GDP growth slows to 27-year low
China's economic growth slowed to 6.2% in the second quarter, its weakest pace in at least 27 years, as demand at home and abroad faltered in the face of mounting U.S. trade pressure.
How does China's real GDP growth compare with that of the United States? If China's growth slows further, would that mean it was in a recession?
China's real GDP growth is
than that of the United States. If China's growth slows further, China
O A. greater;
will not be in a recession because real GDP growth although slowing is still positive
O B. greater;
will be in a recession because real GDP growth is slowing
C. greater;
will not be in a recession because China's real GDP growth is greater than U.S. real GDP growth and we know that the United States is not in a recession
O D. smaller;
may or may not be in a recession. It depends on the relationship between real GDP and potential GDP

In the following problem, you will explore how saving and investment are connected to the international flow of capital and goods in an economy. Before delving into the relationship between these various components of an economy, you will be asked to recall some relationships between aggregate variables that will be useful in your analysis. Recall the components that make up GDP. National income (Y) equals total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services. Thus, where C = consumption, I = investment, G = government purchases, X = exports, M = imports, and NX = net exports: Y = Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for Therefore, national saving (S) is defined as: Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields Y = .
