2. Flows of Goods

U.S. is a voracious absorber of world products particularly from the East Asia

U.S. Trade Decifits (Import in excess of Exports) has been the largest and increasing rapidly while the East Asian countries have been accumulating Trade Surplus with U.S.

- International Currencies(monies) flow to the East Asia

The East Asia is becoming the ‘Factory of the World’

Making a Sense in the Context of Macroeconomics National Income Accounting:

Savings, Investment and Trade: U.S. and Major Partners

Blue- Saving Red – Investment Orange – Current Blue- Saving Red – Investment Orange – Current AccountAccount

Observation:1)Current account Deficits and Investment are + vely corrleated. Current account Surplus and Investment are –vely correlated..

2)Current account Deficits and Savings are –vely correlated. Current account Surplus and Savings are +vely correlated.

Page 10: 1 A Bird Eye View of the Current World Economy : Trade and Finance J.D. Han King’s University College at UWO Eco 370ppp #1.

Let’s think about:

1. What will be the limit to the U.S. trade deficit?

2. How come the US can increase the trade deficits so much without any constraint?

3. How come this flow of funds and the shifting of production(=income generation) from the U.S. to East Asia does not decrease the National Income of the U.S.?

4. Is there any interconnection between X-M, and S and I?

5. What about the causation in the above relationship? Which causes which?

Page 11: 1 A Bird Eye View of the Current World Economy : Trade and Finance J.D. Han King’s University College at UWO Eco 370ppp #1.

For above Question3:

What is happening to the component variables in the following equations?

East Asian Countries’s GNP

Y = C + I + G + X - M

U.S.’s GNP

Y = C + I + G + X - M

3. Flows of Capital

International Liquidity does not stay invested in the East Asia -Monies are flowing back to U.S.

This fuels U.S. imports from Asia This gluts U.S. financial market,

pushing Stock Prices up and Interest Rates down

Capital Flows (of Currencies) destabilize Relative Prices of Currencies or FOREX rates
