Tradable Prosperity

It will be difficult to ease these inflationary pressures this year. International commodity prices will continue to rise, increases in domestic labor costs and prices of non tradable goods cannot easily be stemmed, the international economic situation will encourage further capital inflows, and asset inflation will persist.

In such economies, that pattern not only typically depended on leverage it also enlarged the non tradable side of the economy and shrank the tradable side. And yet, given that the non tradable sector is constrained by its reliance on domestic demand, recovery if it comes will depend on the tradable sector s growth potential.

Rising incomes require rising productivity. That means increasing capital and human capital intensity across both the tradable and non tradable sectors of the economy.

This scheme implements tradable quotas among the EU States.

(4) As regards tradable financial assets, it is required to separately list the beginning of period and end of period fair value of tradable bond investment, tradable equity instrument investment, financial assets which are specified to be measured on fair value and whose fluctuations are included in the current profits and losses, derivative financial assets and other tradable financial assets.

But, for individual economies, relative productivity versus income levels determines the share of global tradable aggregate demand that is accessible. Unlike the non tradable side of the economy, the domestic component of global tradable demand is not an absolute constraint on growth nor is the rate of growth of global tradable demand an absolute constraint, given the possibility of increasing share.

To be effective and properly targeted, policies need to include an accurate diagnosis of growth potential and impediments in both the tradable and non tradable parts of the economy. Focusing on one (say, the competitiveness problem in the tradable sector) to the exclusion of the other (perhaps a serious non tradable demand shortfall or stagnant absolute productivity) will not be enough.

In the short run, the non tradable sector is, by definition, subject to domestic demand constraints. A shortfall in non tradable demand inevitably limits growth on that side of the economy.

(13) As regards tradable financial liabilities, it is required to separately list the beginning of period and end of period fair value of offered tradable bonds, financial liabilities which are specified to be measured on fair value and whose fluctuations are included in the current profits and losses, derivative financial liabilities and other tradable financial liabilities.

Non tradable activities are akin to a country s sports leagues different people like different teams.

For several decades, that tendency has been offset by ever more intensive trading of tradable goods, often passing through many countries in complex supply chains. In the future, however, the shift to non tradable consumption may dominate.

The challenge is to apply these insights in a world characterized by global economic interdependence, major imbalances, and a worsening growth and employment problem. It is a world in which economies are connected directly in the tradable sector of the global economy, and indirectly through the demand and employment linkages between the tradable and non tradable sectors of individual economies.

They also are frequently lured away from manufacturing by booms in construction and other non tradable goods and services. The pattern also includes an exuberant expansion of government spending, which can result in bloated public payrolls and large infrastructure projects, both of which are found to be unsustainable when oil prices fall.
