Week 4 Assignment
Assignment: Domestic Economy Analysis (2000 words)
The product you select will be integrated into an existing economy. That economy will be very important to the success or failure of a marketing strategy. In some cases, a product may not depend on a macroeconomic analysis but that micro-economy still functions within the larger national economy. Some critical economic characteristics need to be considered:

  • What is the size of the GDP? (Total and Per-Capita)
  • What is the rate of unemployment?
  • What is the rate of inflation?
  • What is the growth forecast for the country’s economy?
  • What talents does the labor force have?
  • What is the age distribution of the labor force?
  • What key resources does the country have?
  • Are there critical concerns in the country as to its economic performance?

Here is what you need to do for this assignment:

  1. Provide a summary table of core economic data and growth rates for:
  • Inflation
  • Unemployment by race and gender and age, underemployed and long term unemployment
  • Real GDP
  • Stock Market Performance
  • Budget Deficit
  • Trade Deficit
  • Exchange Rates
  • Wage levels
  • Inequality measures in income, education, assets

You can find some of this core data at the Economist link below or even the Euromoney link has good summary data:

  1. Situate the country on the policy cross (see handout)
  2. Read economic analysis about the country from credible sources such as research institutes or international organizations such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund or OECD to provide a summary of economic risk in that country.

Introduction: The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Global Forum on Environment on “Towards Quantifying the Links between Environment and Economic Growth” was held on 24-25 October 2016 at the OECD Conference Centre, Paris.
The objectives of the Global Forum were to provide a platform for policy experts, academics and government officials from OECD and developing countries to explore how a well-managed natural environment can contribute to economic growth and how such an effective and efficient regulatory system can be designed. The Forum was organized across three themes:

  • how economic growth affects the environment;
  • how environmental degradation affects economic growth; and
  • how environmental policies can help to make the most out of environmental protection and economic growth.

For this activity, please use the attached .pdf file which is a section of the Conference report on “Green Economic Growth”.
Instructions: Please respond to the questions below using the pdf file found on the Bb site for this assignment. Be sure to use a distinct font color or highlighting of your responses so I can identify them within the document. Once completed, save your answers and upload to Blackboard before the deadline.

    1. Why do you think land cover change is used as an indication of biodiversity loss?
    2. What has been the global loss of natural land since 1992?
    3. For developed countries (advanced economies) what type of land use was most natural land converted to?
