Adjusted for inflation: Corrected for price changes to yield an equivalent in terms of goods and services. The adjustment divides nominal amounts for different years by price indices for those years -- e.g. the CPI (Consumer price index) or the implicit price deflator -- and multiplies by 100.

Abstract The advent of globalization and more integrated international trade has placed increased demands on transportation infrastructure. This report assesses the impacts of triangular trade between and among the United States, Brazil and China with an emphasis on the effects on the U.S. Southwest region. Triangular trade is viewed through a trade corridor analysis of the three sets of bilateral trading relationships. Special emphasis is given to the transportation services that delimit the capacity to carry out triangular trade with particular attention to the latest developments in services and schedules. While international trade trend analysis may point to China’s explosive consumption of raw materials from the U.S. and Brazil, this report also signals the increasing Chinese presence in the U.S.

  • History of Economic and Monetary Union
    Dear Reader, Ahead of the Referendum on the European Union I am compiling a series of fact sheets covering various topics of interest to constituents to allow for a more informed decision when it comes to making your decision to stay in or leave the EU. For further information, visit www.juliegirling.com Julie Girling MEP History of economic and monetary union Economic and monetary union (EMU) is the result of progressive economic integration in the EU. It is an expansion of the EU single market, with common product regulations and free movement of goods, capital, labour and services. A common currency, the euro, has been introduced in the eurozone, which currently comprises 19 EU Member States. All 28 EU Member States — with the exception of the UK and Denmark — must adopt the euro after a minimum of two years’ participation in ERM II and fulfilment of the convergence criteria. A single monetary policy is set by the European Central Bank (ECB) and is complemented by harmonised fiscal and coordinated economic policies. Within EMU there is no single institution responsible for economic policy. Instead, the responsibility is divided between Member States and various EU institutions. Legal basis Decisions of the European Summits of The Hague (1969), Paris (1972), Brussels (1978), Hanover (1988), Madrid and Strasbourg (both 1989), and Maastricht (1991-1992); Articles 119-144, 219 and 282-284 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU); Protocols annexed to the TFEU on: the transition to the third stage of economic and monetary union; the excessive deficit and macroeconomic imbalances procedures; the convergence criteria; the opt-out clauses for the United Kingdom and Denmark; and the European System of Central Banks and the European Central Bank, as well as the Eurogroup Objectives EMU is the result of progressive economic integration, and is therefore not an end in itself.

  • U.S. Protectionism and Trade Imbalance Between the U.S. and Northeast Asian Countries1
    INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS RESEARCH JOURNAL. Vol. 13. No 2 (2018) U.S. Protectionism and Trade Imbalance between the U.S. and Northeast Asian Countries1 S.-C. Park Sang-Chul Park – Doctor, Professor, Graduate School of Knowledge Based Technology and Energy, Korea Polytechnic University; 2121, Jeongwang-Dong, Siheung-City, Gyeonggi-Do, 429-793, Korea; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Trade growth has slowed since the global financial crisis. In 2016, growth in the volume of world trade was 1.9%, down from the 2.8% increase registered in 2015. Imports to developed countries will be moderate in 2017, while demand for imported goods in developing Asian economies could continue to rise. Despite rising imports into Asia, the ratio of trade growth in the world has been lower than the ratio of global economic growth since 2013. Therefore, many countries have tried to create bilateral, multilateral, regional and mega free trade agreements (FTAs) in order to boost their trade volumes and economic growth. East Asian countries try to build regional FTAs and participate in different mega FTAs such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). As a result, their economic interests are rather deeply divided and are related to political and security issues in the East Asian context. At the same time, the protectionism led by the Trump administration in the U.S. stands in contrast to the approach taken by East Asian countries. This paper deals with this development and explores why the U.S. has turned from free and open trade toward so-called fair trade based on a policy of “America first.” It also offers an analysis of the reasons for trade imbalances between the U.S.

  • The Causes of the U.S. Trade Deficit
    The Causes of the U.S. Trade Deficit Statement of Robert A. Blecker, Ph.D. Professor of Economics American University and Visiting Fellow Economic Policy Institute Before the Trade Deficit Review Commission Washington, DC August 19, 1999 Executive Summary • There is a long-term worsening trend in the U.S. trade balance since the 1960s, which is due to persistent trade barriers abroad and declining competitiveness of U.S. producers. This long-term deterioration in U.S. trade performance requires either a continuous depreciation of the dollar, or else slower growth in the U.S. compared with our trading partners, in order to avoid rising trade deficits. • There has also been a short-term surge in the U.S. trade deficit in the last few years, which is due to two main factors: a rise in the value of the dollar and slow growth in our trading partners. This situation has been exacerbated by macroeconomic and financial policies of the U.S. government, the International Monetary Fund, and the governments of our major trading partners, including (but not limited to) the policy responses to the recent financial crisis in the emerging market countries. • With the hindsight of the 1990s, we can see that the trade deficit is not a “twin” of the budget deficit, as it appeared to be briefly in the early 1980s. More broadly, we should be suspicious of arguments that always blame trade deficits on low national savings, based on the “identity” between the trade balance and the saving-investment gap. This identity does not prove causality, and is consistent with other causal stories about the trade deficit including those advocated here.

  • History of Economic and Monetary Union
    HISTORY OF ECONOMIC AND MONETARY UNION Economic and monetary union (EMU) is the result of progressive economic integration in the EU. It is an expansion of the EU single market, with common product regulations and free movement of goods, capital, labour and services. A common currency, the euro, has been introduced in the euro area, which currently comprises 19 EU Member States. All EU Member States – with the exception of Denmark – must adopt the euro once they fulfil the convergence criteria. A single monetary policy is set by the Eurosystem (comprising the European Central Bank’s Executive Board and the governors of the central banks of the euro area) and is complemented by fiscal rules and various degrees of economic policy coordination. Within EMU there is no central economic government. Instead, responsibility is divided between Member States and various EU institutions. LEGAL BASIS — Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU); Articles 3, 5, 119-144, 219 and 282-284 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU); — Protocols annexed to the Treaties: Protocol 4 on the statute of the European System of Central Banks and the European Central Bank; Protocol 12 on the excessive deficit procedure; Protocol 13 on the convergence criteria; Protocol 14 on the Eurogroup; Protocol 16, which contains the opt-out clause for Denmark; — Intergovernmental treaties comprise the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance (TSCG), the Europlus Pact and the Treaty on the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). OBJECTIVES EMU is the result of step-by-step economic integration, and is therefore not an end in itself.
