World Economies Comparison Presentation
- Team A: NAFTA vs European Union (World’s 2 largest economic entities)
Research each economy assigned to your Team. Compare similarities and differences between your assigned countries/economies and how their economic, political, and cultural development since 1992 has influenced their economic growth and trade competitiveness.
Use tables and/or graphs to support your analysis of the following economic statistics/indicators of your 2 assigned economies through the most recent year available since 2009 (the trough of the last economic cycle). Whenever possible, plot the metric for both economies on the same chart.
- GDP per capita growth over time
- Inflation rate over time
- Unemployment rate over time
- Exports as a % of GDP over time
- National government debt as a % of GDP
Analyze how the failure to use value-added trade measures distorts trade statistics. For example, Boeing and Airbus airliners, Apple iPad and iPhone production, and North American integrated auto and light truck manufacturing.
Examine at least 2 industries that have provided each economy a comparative advantage in world trade.
My part is the underlined paragraph. I want points and notes after because I would insert in PowerPoint.
