...Macroeconomics assignment On ANALYSIS OF INDIA CHINA BRAZIL ECONOMIES INTRODUCTION The BIC Countries: Brazil, India, China. The BIC countries are made up of Brazil, India and China - although if we were to categorize them by importance, it would actually be CIB. Why the BIC are Important?? The BIC are both the fastest growing and largest emerging markets economies. They account for almost three billion people, or just under half of the total population of the world. In recent times, the BIC have also contributed to the majority of world GDP growth. According to various economists’ projections, it is only a matter of time before China becomes the biggest economy in the world - sometime between 2030 and 2050 seems the consensus. In fact, Goldman Sachs believes that by 2050 these will be the most important economies, relegating the US to fifth place. By 2020, all of the BIC should be in the top 10 largest economies of the world. The undisputed heavyweight, though, will be China, also the largest the creditor in the world. Apart from their growth characteristics, the BIC countries frankly have little in common. They are primarily an investment category now, although there may some political and economic alliances that develop from that grouping. If they do, it is likely to be temporary - once China has assumed its rightful place, it may have no need for these alliances. A G2 of China and the US may be more important for it unless the 2050 predictions do come true...

...labor, capital, energy and materials (1). Pretty much everything you can imagine contributes to a countries economy and ultimately economic growth; from raw materials to availability of energy, from geography to political governance. The strength of a countries economy tends to speak to its place in the general importance of the world. Being economically weak a country tends to be poor and normally overlooked, while economically strong countries are able to effect other countries financially and thus tend to have much more sway in world dealings. I will discuss the two countries of China and India and look at their current economic situation and keys to their future growth. India and China India and China have much in common and also many differences that make their economies and economic growth very different. India and China are neighbors in south East Asia, sharing about 2100 miles of boarder between each other that runs along the Himalayas. Both countries are ancient in origin and birth places of civilization outside of the Middle East. They both have very large work forces available and 100 years ago both countries were considered to be fairly useless in the global economy except for tea production and some raw materials like silk or dyes. Both countries were at least partially colonized by the English. Both countries are potentially strong economies, although China has more realization of this possibility...

...Impact of globalization on non-western cultures China Globalization has reached to practically every corner of the globe. It brings to the world an exchange of information, goods, services, economy, and awareness of other cultures. Two cultures that have benefited from globalization economically are China and India. China is an excellent example of how globalization has transformed a once stagnant economy into an economic super power. Change occurred as a result of international influence from the United States. The United States had hopes in the Chinese economy and realized the capabilities China possessed in the export of goods to the United States and other countries. The United States helped China become aware of how shut off it had become from a growing global economy and helped to make them aware of the positive impact an open economic system could have on its nation. In 1986, China began to work towards joining the World Trade Organization. In 2001, China finally joined (China and the, 2014). The United States had a major role in China’s decision to open their economy, and they supported the effort fully. The influence on China from globalized nations was both direct and indirect. It was direct because countries such as the United States, worked closely with China during their admission to the World Trade Organization even requiring changes to the Chinese economy before they would be allowed to proceed. The influence was also indirect as the Chinese government...

...fastest growing and largest emerging market economies. The countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China are becoming ever larger forces in the world economy. They account for almost three billion people, or just under half of the total population of the world. In recent times, they have also contributed to the majority of the world GDP growth. For some time their growth rates have been faster than those experienced in the western economies, and they have been able to withstand the recent economic crisis with greater resilience (Geoff, 2010). According to various economists’ projections, it is only a matter of time before China becomes the biggest economy in the world. China is expanding its reach all over the world. For instance, they are making in-road into most African countries which use to be a reserve place for the west, thereby stopping the monopoly that the western economies had in this part of the world. Most African nations with their leaders prefer to do business with China because of their poor ethical standard and the wiliness to do anything just to win the hearts of these leaders who are less concerned about the well-being of their people. In fact, Goldman Sachs believes that by 2050 these BRICs countries will be the most important economies in the world thereby relegating the US to fifth place (EconomyWatch, 2010). By 2020, economists’ project that all of the BRIC countries should be in the top 10 largest economies of the world. Manufacturers and service providers have...

...Hoyos Business Law in China and India Which is more appealing to Latin America? The economy of the United States has been slowing down during the past years, leaving Latin American economies with no alternative but to look into further horizons. Both China and India have been growing and flourishing into attractive alternatives for Latin American businesses. These two fast-growing developing economies represent a great opportunity for Latin American countries especially because both India and China have showed their interest in doing business with Latin America. Additionally, the recent boom of Latin American leftist governments that are not fond of the United States has minimized the gap between the western south and these two Easter giants, increasing the need for joint business ventures and trading partnerships that contribute to the growth of China, India and Latin America. In order to evaluate the relation of Latin American countries with China and India, it is important to analyze the legal systems and regulatory business environments of the Chinese and Indian governments. By developing a concise comparison between China and India, this paper will eventually evaluate which country has more to offer to Latin American economies. Such comparison will be based upon aspects such as legal backgrounds and traditions, basic business regulations, trade laws and others, to finally conclude what sort of government is more appealing to Latin American economies. In the first...

... China and India now are widely acknowledged as the planet’s next economic superpowers | The Context China and India are two neighbouring countries in Asia who share the two largest population of the world and in fact added together they represent nearly one third of humanity. Globalisation has imposed internal pressure and external pressure to bear on both India and China. For most Chinese and Indians alike, economic life is hard despite the fact that reforms and globalisation have created various new opportunities and as such both countries have witnessed an emerging middle class with Americanised tastes and preferences, irrespective of this however, both countries remain very poor. Although the two countries went to war in 1962 due to some border dispute, they have since tried to normalise relations and in 1995 for the first time trade had exceeded US$1 billion between them. They have lately received a lot of international attention being viewed as emerging giant economies as they both play key roles at the international level. For example China has been a permanent member of the Security Council at the UN, while India who has lead the Non-Aligned Movement for years and is still vying for a similar position. Furthermore, India has been one of the founding members of the WTO and has played a prominent role as one of the developing nations whereas China has had to fight for decades to obtain its admission into this international organisation. While both China and...

...affected the world economy(S. Montana.2010). This downturn more or less was detrimental to every country. However, by the summer of 2009, world economists started to believe that recession was over. The subsequent recovery was weak with persistent high levels of unemployment and inflation which still remained throughout many countries(The Economist.2010). This so called economic crisis caused substantial economic upheaval. Rich countries are no longer dominate the world, while rapid economic growth in Asia is becoming more and more significant. This essay will emphasize that the balance of power will not shift to the East, as India and China develop, and will illustrate the key fact why the West will not regress. An analysis regarding the forecast for both, developing and developed, countries will be provided by looking at: the economic prognoses for Asia, China and India in particular; the potential economic stagnation in rich countries; the evidence suggesting that the balance of power will not shift from West to East. Current economic situation in Asia. Forecast for Chinese and Indian economy. Even The Great Recession in 2007 could not stop sustained takeoff of two countries, which population together accounts one-third of the planets population, India and China. Both countries have been growing steadily for the last two decades, China by 9.5% a year and India by 6%(Bloomberg BusinessWeek.2008). Complementarity makes these countries especially powerful. India keeps amaze...

...1. Introduction In 2001, one of the economies in Goldman Sachs – Jim O’Neill – wrote an economic research paper “Building Better Global Economic, BRICs”, in this report, O’Neill listed four countries with their initial letters combined being BRIC – Brazil, Russia, India and China – as the world’s fastest developed economies that can be considered as the most promising emerging markets in the world. Latter the BRICs become BRICS with South Africa joining the group, together the five BRICS countries had represented approximately 3 billion people and a combined nominal GDP being US$ 14.8 trillion and US$ 4 trillion in combined foreign reserves (IMF 2013). However, within the five BRICS countries, China and India very similar and the only two Asian countries, they had many things in common – large size of country lands and large size of population as well, the relatively large gap between wealthy and poor households, together with the similar economic routes – both countries had their economies boosted in the 1970s and 1980s benefiting from the large sum of foreign direct investments (Halpin, 2012). Based on the above basic conditions, the consulting team hired by Australian Trade Commission (Austrade) would conduct a comparative analysis for the country attractiveness of China and India, standing in the position for the businesses in Australia who wished to expand their businesses to one or both of the countries, thereby to providing suggestions for these businesses. As for details...

...economic stories has been the rise of India and China, two of Jim O’Neill’s “BRIC” countries (FT Magazine, 2010). Despite the implementation of different economic policies (Gupta, 2008) both countries have emerged as major economic forces in the global economy (Bosworth and Collins, 2007), most notably since 1980. Since then, India and China have experienced a significant reduction in poverty with China lifting 500 million out of social deprivation. According to the World Bank (2013), China has had an average GDP of 10% each year while India has seen her GDP double over a similar period. The countries are often compared due to their large population and geographical vastness as well as climbing from third world countries to major economic forces in a relatively short time. However, despite a significant increase in GDP, India has failed to demonstrate the same rates of growth as China. Although both countries were in a similar position during the early nineties, China’s GDP has increased 7 fold since this time; whereas India, although steady, GDP has doubled. The average annual rate is by 10% in China compared to 5-6% in India (see Figure 1). The purpose of this paper is to compare the rates of growth of India and China over the past 30 years and examine possible explanations for this phenomenon. The economies of these countries are underpinned by social, economic and political issues which have all been relevant to their growth. China has placed emphasis on investment...

...Labor Statistics. International Labor Comparison. Manufacturing in China. Retrieved September 12, 2011 from http://www.bls.gov/fls/china.htm. The first literature review for manufacturing in China will consist of three aspects: a) Data comparability b) comparison of hourly rates of compensation of US and China c) comparison of hourly manufacturing compensation cost of US and selected economies and regions. China manufacturing statistics don’t follow regular international standards and sometimes could be hard to understand the data. China does not systematically collect labor statistics like other countries and all of their information about manufacturing has been collected by a set of hypotheses and estimates by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Even though China data collection has many gaps, the International Community accepts the accumulated data as valid. Hourly compensation costs of manufacturing employees of China compared to U.S. manufacturing from 2002-2008. The data tables suggest that China manufacturing cost has risen on a constant steady pace. In 2008 China manufacturing cost was $0.57 and in 2008 it $1.36 (Manufacturing in China). Largely there is still a big gap compared to U.S. manufacturing and you can where China has gain many manufacturing jobs due to their relative low cost of manufacturing. Hourly compensation cost of manufacturing employees in selected economies and regions suggest that China has the lowest manufacturing cost out of U.S. , Japan, Europe,...

...businesses are done today. Two countries that use these practices often are China and India. They trade manufactured and labor intensive goods. This gives them an edge on the other countries they compete with in the global market. This paper first reviews some key features of China’s and India’s trade, in particular, the recent rapid export growth; the changing relative importance of goods and services; and the changing composition of exports within merchandise and services. With this as background, we use a global economy-wide modeling approach to take into account all of the potential impacts of a number of policy reforms and likely scenarios. First, the implications of the reforms under way in India are examined to see if they might result in greater competition between China and India. Then, we generate a baseline and examine the potential global implications of higher-than-expected growth rates in these two economies. We consider first the impact of more rapid economy-wide growth in China and India. We then examine the implications of two different types of growth, first growth focused on relatively sophisticated products, and subsequently growth driven by increased accumulation of physical and human capital. China’s and India’s trading patterns. Although it turns out that both have been quite successful in expanding their exports and imports, they have done this in very different ways. Broadly, China has relied primarily on exports of manufactures, frequently as part of...

...Case 6-4: China and India: Opportunities and Challenges Overtime, China and India have developed some capabilities, which have affected developed nations like U.S, Germany, Japan and so on. The rising capability that the two countries possess is as a result of their ability to assign their available resources (factor conditions) to specific productive areas to yield viable outcome. Rarely has the economic ascent of two still relatively poor nations been watched with such a mixture of awe, opportunism, and trepidation. The postwar era witnessed economic miracles in Japan and South Korea. But neither was populous enough to power worldwide growth or change the game in a complete spectrum of industries. China and India, by contrast, possess the weight and dynamism to transform the 21st century global economy. Never has the world seen the simultaneous, sustained takeoffs of two nations that together account for one-third of the planet’s population. For the past two decades, China has been growing at an astounding 9.5% a year, and India by 6%. Given their young populations, high savings, and the sheer amount of catching they still have to do, most economist figure China and India possess the fundamentals to keep growing in the 7% to 8% ranges for decades. (Cravens, 2013) Barring cataclysm, within three decades India should have vaulted over Germany as the world’s third-biggest economy. By mid-century, China should have overtaken the U.S as No. 1. By then, China and India could account...

...ABSTRACT This paper examines the four emerging economies- Brazil, India, Russia and China (BRIC) - that are expected to play an increasingly important role in the global economy in the coming decades. These four countries have come to symbolize the exciting challenges and opportunities presented by dynamic emerging markets. The first part of the report outlines key features of these economies and their growing contribution to world output and trade. The second part analyses the contribution of India towards the same. By 2050, the BRIC economies will account for 44% of global GDP. The emerging market accounts for an increasing share of global activity. Two centuries of vigorous industrialization has propelled economies of North America, Western Europe and Japan into a dominant position in terms of their share of world output. But the past three decades have seen steady erosion from the peak they attained during the 1970. The emerging economies now account for over half of world output. These dynamic economies are changing the world economic order as they industrialize, improve their infrastructure and rapidly develop their service sectors. By 2050, they will account for almost 78% of global output. This projection uses realistic assumptions of annual growth rates of 5.3% to 2050, well below those posted in recent decades by the economies of developing Asia at over 7.5%. Growth at that pace is not sustainable over the long term – as economies mature, they inevitably lose some of their...
