  • How the Economic Machine Works
    Productivity and Structural Reform: Why Countries Succeed & Fail, and What Should Be Done So Failing Countries Succeed by Ray Dalio In this report the drivers of productivity are shown and are used to create an economic health index. That index shows how 20 major countries are doing as measured by 19 economic health gauges made up of 81 indicators, and it shows what these gauges portend for real GDP growth in each of these countries over the next 10 years. As you will see, past predictions based on this process have been highly reliable. For this reason this economic health index provides both a reliable prognosis for each of these country’s growth rates over the next 10 years and a reliable formula for success. By looking at these cause-effect relationships in much the same way as a doctor looks at one’s genetics, blood tests and regimes for exercise and diet, we can both see each country’s health prospects and know what changes each can make so that these countries can become economically healthier. We are making this research available in the hope that it will facilitate the very important discussions about structural reforms that are now going on and will help both the public and policy makers to look past their ideological differences to see the economy as a machine in much the same way as doctors see bodies as a machine and look at the relationships of cholesterol and heart attacks analytically rather than ideologically. The Template This study is presented in three parts: • In Part 1, “The Formula For Economic Success,” we show how indicators of countries’ productivity and indebtedness would have predicted their subsequent 10-year growth rates going back 70 years, and how these economic health indicators can be used to both predict and shape the long-term economic health of countries.

  • Can Policy Makers Actually Get What They Want?
    Can Policy Makers Actually Get What They Want? MAY 28, 2020 GREG JENSEN JASON ROGERS © 2020 Bridgewater Associates, LP he pandemic and the shutdowns that followed have opened two distinct but related holes—a hole in incomes (the real economy), and Ta hole in asset markets. If left unfilled, these holes would produce a self-reinforcing collapse and intolerable economic and social outcomes. The longer they persist, the greater the accumulated problems and the higher the likelihood of prolonged economic weakness as households and businesses sell assets and eat through cash balances until more and more entities are bankrupt. Faced with this, the main policy choice is whose balance sheets will bear the losses, which will determine to some extent how the economy rebounds after the health emergency eases. Many policy makers are now attempting to use government balance sheets to fill these two holes through coordinated monetary and fiscal policy (MP3)—filling the gap in markets with the central bank balance sheet through QE, and filling the gap in incomes with the government balance sheet through fiscal stimulus monetized by that QE. The intent is to avoid a collapse in markets and to bridge the gap in incomes so that when the pandemic is over companies are still intact, workers can get back to work, and the economy can quickly get back on its feet. In other words, policy makers hope to reduce the impact of the pandemic to a short- term interruption in activity and avoid long-term economic problems. While this approach makes sense to us, it is far from assured that policy makers will be able to get what they want.

Part 2: The Rises and Declines of Economies Over the Last 500 Years 244 Draft Version © 2014 Ray Dalio How the Economic Machine Works The economy is like a machine. At the most fundamental level it is a relatively simple machine. But many people don’t understand it – or they don’t agree on how it works – and this has led to a lot of needless economic suffering. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to share my simple but practical economic template, and wrote this piece to describe how I believe it works. My description of how the economy works is different from most economists'. It has worked better, allowing me to anticipate the great deleveragings and market changes that most others overlooked. I believe that is because it is more practical. Since I certainly do not want you to blindly believe in my description of how the economic machine works, I have laid it out clearly so that you can assess the value of it yourself. So, let’s begin. How the Economic Machine Works: “A Transactions-Based Approach” An economy is simply the sum of the transactions that make it up.
