Examples of emerging countries in the following topics:
-
- Emerging economies were third-world countries.
- Would you invest in an emerging market or a third-world country?
- A country could produce within the interior of a production possibilities curve.
- Outsourcing is one firm sends part of its production outside the country to reduce costs.
- However, the firm sells the cheaper product in its home country.
-
- Could a country produce within the interior of a production possibilities curve?
- You have two countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina and Colombia.
- Both countries grow tobacco and coffee.
- Two countries can produce a maximum with their resources in the table.
- Identify the gain of production if the two countries engage in free trade.
-
- Offshoring entails a company moving a business process from one country to another.
- "Offshoring" is a company's relocation of a business process from one country to another.
- After its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, the People's Republic of China emerged as a prominent destination for production offshoring.
- After technical progress in telecommunications improved the possibilities of trade in services, India became a leader in this domain; however, many other countries are now emerging as offshore destinations.
- Countries often strive to trade freely items that are of the least cost to produce.
-
- An emergent virus is a virus that has adapted and emerged as a new disease/pathogenic strain, with attributes facilitating pathogenicity in a field not normally associated with that virus.
- Most emergent viruses can be categorized as zoonotic; an animal disease that can be transmitted to humans.
- Indeed the advent of deep sequencing technologies and other methods are identifying emergent viral hemorrhagic fevers.
- Although the source of the virus remains unclear, the study findings suggest that BASV may be spread by human-to-human contact and is an emerging pathogen associated with acute hemorrhagic fever in Africa .
-
- India is an example of a semi-peripheral country -- it is largely dependent on foreign investors for capital, but has a growing technology industry and emerging middle class consumer market.
- World Systems Theory, like dependency theory, suggests that wealthy countries benefit from other countries and exploit those countries' citizens.
- Peripheral countries (e.g., most African countries and low income countries in South America) are dependent on core countries for capital and are less industrialized and urbanized.
- Peripheral countries generally provide labor and materials to core countries.
- Semiperipheral countries exploit peripheral countries, just as core countries exploit both semiperipheral and peripheral countries.
-
- A multinational enterprise's goal is to earn profits.Therefore, they enter the international markets and foreign countries in the pursuit of profits.Every international enterprise has a choice.It could export to another country or relocate production outside their home country.For instance, many U.S. corporations relocated manufacturing outside the United States, althoughthe U.S. suffers from a high unemployment rate since the beginning of the Great Recession.
- Financial analysts and economists divide the world's markets into mature economies and emerging markets.Mature economies are competitive, and a company entering this market would face narrow profit margins.Some examples include the United States and Europe.On the other hand, the emerging-market economies are countries that recently opened their markets to international trade and finance.They can be very profitable but entail greater risk.For example,China, India, and Mexico are removing their government controls of their markets, and they allow international investors and corporations to invest in their economies.
- Reason 3: An enterprise that moves its factories to a foreign country automatically avoids trade restrictions, like tariffs and import quotas.Government does not apply trade restrictions to products and services produced within a country.
- Reason 12: Many companies relocate subsidiaries to politically safe and business-friendly countries, such as the Bahamas, Dubai, and Singapore.These countries have low taxes and few regulations.
- A country risk is the risk of investing in a particular country as political conditions rapidly change.For example, the Republic of Kazakhstan was a former state of the Soviet Union that became an independent country in 1991.Country's president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, opened its economy to free markets in early 1990s.Consequently, Kazakhstan made great strides towards a market economy and attracted billions in international investment because the country containsvast petroleum and mineral wealth.After the 2008 Financial Crisis, the Kazakh government is gradually reviving the Soviet rules, practices, and regulations.Unfortunately, the Soviet legal system is very bureaucratic, slow, and arbitrary, and suffers from corruption and political favoritism.Moreover, the Kazakh government nationalized several foreign-owned companies, and international investment began plummeting in 2012.
-
- Countries generally need IMF assistance because of imbalances in their economies.
- But in the 1990s, a new problem emerged.
- In retrospect, that was more than the countries could handle.
- In addition, the United States pressed the IMF to require countries to adopt structural reforms.
- The IMF also acknowledged in the late 1990s that its traditional prescription for countries with acute balance-of-payments problems -- namely, austere fiscal and monetary policies -- may not always be appropriate for countries facing financial crises.
-
- 1980 to 1990: during this time period the economic output of 112 countries expanded while the output of 34 countries contracted.
- From 2000 to 2010 these was a rise in developing and emerging economies.
- 2007: The nominal GDP expanded in 183 countries.
- Economic output expanded in 171 countries, but 11 countries experienced output contractions.
- The economic output of 127 countries contracted.
-
- Technology aids in the identification of new infectious agents, but it also contributes to the emergence of new diseases.
- Emerging and re-emerging pathogens pose several challenges to diagnosis, treatment, and public health surveillance .
- Several human activities have led to the emergence and spread of new diseases:
- As countries make use of their rain forests by building roads and clearing areas for settlement or commercial ventures, people encounter insects and other animals harboring previously unknown microorganisms.
- The rapid growth of cities in many developing countries tends to concentrate large numbers of people into crowded areas with poor sanitation.
-
- The world-system refers to the international division of labor, which divides the world into core countries, semi-periphery countries, and the periphery countries.
- Poor countries are thus in a continual state of dependency to rich countries .
- Two ideas that have emerged from these studies are glocalization and hybridization.
- Hybridization is a similar idea, emerging from the field of biology, which refers to the way that various sociocultural forms can mix and create a third form which draws from its sources, but is something entirely new.
- If we examine any social situation closely, the global patterns and linkages behind it will undoubtedly emerge.
