This assignment requires a breakdown of how the research was completed (part 1), an analysis of the research (part 2, an
appendix with the data gathered and a reference page.
Examine how exports, imports, the balance of
payments, and capital flows impact individual national economics and global
economics.
Demonstrate college-level communication
through the composition of original materials in Standard English.
Adapt research skills to discover and sort
relevant sources to complete tasks.
Assess the value of multiculturalism and
diversity in a global environment.
This assessment deals with international
macroeconomics and the importance of cultural diversity. This is a two-part
assessment consisting of research skills to identify relevant information, and
your analysis based on the information you located.
In this assessment, you will choose an economically
advanced country and a developing country, and will
assume the role as an assistant researcher who is tasked with conducting a
detailed study of how the different international trade situations and the
differing cultural diversity produces the observable disparities between these
two countries.
Your research must be detailed and presented
in a minimum of a 4-page research paper.
The first half of your paper will describe,
how you determined what data to collect, the sources of that data, how you
sorted that data, the time periods that the data describes, and how you chose
to analyze the data.
The second half of your paper will focus on
your resulting conclusions regarding the differences between the two countries
you chose. In addition, include your analysis of the cultural, social, and
political diversity between these two cultures, and how these differences
contribute to the economic differences you found based on specific evidence
from the data you collected.
Using World Bank data, conduct research to
determine how economically different the two countries, that you chose, are by
examining and comparing economic and social indicators, such as the following,
for the year 2015. Include the data that you collected as an appendix
to your final report.
GDP (constant 2010 US$)
GDP per capita (constant 2010 US$)
Exports of goods and services (constant 2010
US$)
Imports of goods and services (constant 2010
US$)
External balance on goods and services
(current US$)
External balance on goods and services (% of
GDP)
Population, total
Population, female (% of total population)
Population, male (% of total population)
Rural population (% of total population)
Urban population (% of total population)
Life expectancy at birth, female (years)
Life expectancy at birth, male (years)
Employment to population ratio, 15+, total (%)
(modeled ILO estimate)
Employment to population ratio, 15+, male (%)
(modeled ILO estimate)
Employment to population ratio, 15+, female
(%) (modeled ILO estimate)
Individuals using the Internet (% of
population)
Adolescent fertility rate (births per 1,000
women ages 15-19)
Prevalence of undernourishment (% of
population)
Then, expand your research into the cultural
differences, including political structure, average education, and social
influences, to determine why these two countries are so different.

Part 1: Research
You will need to locate one or more scholarly
articles that will help you to analyze factors that determine the disparities
of economic growth among countries. The article(s) should provide you with
information to answer Part 2 of your assessment. You will write about the
process you went through to locate your article(s), thoroughly covering the
topics below.
You must follow the following criteria for
your research:
·
Explain how your
search terms were refined.
·
Identify your choice
of databases (for example: EBSCO or ProQuest ABI/Inform).
·
Identify the range of
dates used.
·
Identify the experts.
·
Identify how you
sorted the relevant topics.
Locating scholarly
articles:
Scholarly articles must be current and of high
quality. These include peer-reviewed academic articles, articles published in
journals.
Part 2: Conclusions
Based on the articles provided and the
research you conducted using the Library and Internet, identify key factors
that determine long-term economic growth by comparing two different countries
of your choice. One advanced economy such as England, Canada, Germany, etc.,
and the other country is considered a developing economy, such as Angola,
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, etc.
Explain how economically different the two
countries are, by examining at least five different economic indicators, such
as gross domestic product, gross domestic product per person, exports, imports,
the balance of payments, and the differences in at least three of their social
indicators, such as population, population per square kilometer, etc. Then, expand
your research into the cultural differences, including political structure,
average education, and social influences, to determine why these two countries
are so different economically.
