#𝗚𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗳𝘁𝘀𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗲 - 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰: "Cyclical and structural factors are overlapping in the sluggish macroeconomic development. Although a recovery is likely to set in from the spring, the overall momentum will not be too strong," says Stefan Kooths, Head of Forecasting Kiel Institute for the World Economy, referring to the significant revision in the spring report of the Joint Economic Forecast. According to Germany’s five leading economic research institutes, the country’s economy shows cyclical and structural weaknesses.

However, the level of economic activity will then be over 30 billion euros lower due to the current weak phase.

Cambridge: Long Covid costs UK economy £1.5billion each year! - The ME Association March 21, 2024 **[Cambridge macroeconomics](https://lnkd.in/d8-qH9-m new report draws on the latest available evidence to examine the future impacts of Long Covid to 2030, using its macroeconomic model E3ME. The report considers trends such as future prevalence, effects on the ability to work and the costs of Long Covid treatment, and is one of the first macroeconomic impact assessments of Long Covid as a long-term condition with wider societal effects…** > “Our analysis suggests that Long Covid, if it proceeds according to current knowledge and trends, may represent a further source of chronic pressure and a drag on economic growth.” > > Chris Thoung, Director of Society at Cambridge Econometrics ### Key Findings – Using our E3ME macroeconomic model to simulate a Long Covid future, the results suggest that Long Covid may have macroeconomic costs of some £1.5bn of GDP each year, with the impacts increasing if future prevalence were to rise. – The main driver of this result is the way in which Long Covid reduces people’s ability to work, leading to lower household incomes and lower economic growth overall. Lower employment of around 138,000 by 2030 follows as a consequence. – The pattern of these impacts across the economy reflects a mix of sectors in which more people have Long Covid, leading to reductions in and exits from work; and lower economic activity, which tends to affect market services in an economy such as the UK. – In the analysis, the assumption is that total government spending remains the same in the Long Covid scenario, such that any expenditure on Long Covid-related healthcare involves a reduction in some other item(s) of public spending, whether in health or more widely. – In the current fiscal environment, this represents a trade-off. As seen early in the pandemic, COVID-19 placed acute pressure on a health system already struggling with mounting waiting lists and deteriorating performance. https://lnkd.in/dVq7n4W8

The financialization of the American economy - PDF: https://lnkd.in/gWcmh9Bn This paper presents systematic empirical evidence for the financialization of the US economy in the post-1970s period. While numerous researchers have noted the increasing salience of finance, there have been few systematic attempts to consider what this shift means for the nature of the economy, considered broadly. In large part, this omission reflects the considerable methodological difficulties associated with using national economic data to assess the rise of finance as a macro-level phenomenon shaping patterns of accumulation in the US economy. The paper develops two discrete measures of financialization and applies these measures to postwar US economic data in order to determine if, and to what extent, the US economy is becoming financialized. The paper concludes by considering some of the implications of financialization for two areas of ongoing debate in the social sciences: (1) the question of who controls the modern corporation; and (2) the controversy surrounding the extent to which globalization has eroded the autonomy of the state.

Anchor institutions are often the largest employers in regions, and nationally, anchor GDP grew 45.9 percent between 2004 and 2019. But is reliance on anchor institutions an indicator of economic strength or vulnerability? New research released by the Philadelphia Fed’s Anchor Economy Initiative explores how the economic role of hospitals and institutions of higher education has changed over time and whether changes in anchor reliance relate to economic conditions in regions. Using data from the Anchor Economy Dashboard — which now includes economic impacts and reliance indexes for the years 2004 and 2019 — researchers looked closely at how regional economic change and a region’s reliance on anchor institutions intersect. They focused on 30 regions that have experienced significant change in anchor reliance over this 15-year period. The findings offer further insight into the role that the eds and meds sectors play in the national economy and within regions, and how anchor reliance relates to economic conditions. Understanding how anchor institution economic impact has changed at the regional level is important to understanding regional economic growth. https://bit.ly/4bEqn6R #AnchorInstititutions #RegionalEconomy #AnchorEconomy

The best way to answer this question is what an economy of a country should depend on, rather than does today.
On What Factors Does An Economy Of A Country Depend?

Scarcity of resources relative to human wants gives rise to various basic economic problems called central problems of the economy. All these choices are to be made by society. These problems are: 1. What to produce 2. How to produce 3. For whom to produce 4. What Provision (if any) be made for economic growth 📈 But how are these Central Problems of Economy solved? 🟦 The first method is to solve the problems through market or price mechanism. This type of economic system is referred to as Capitalistic Economy or Free Market Economy. 🟥 The second method which can be employed to solve these problems is the adoption of economic planning. In the old Soviet Union, for example, the managers of manufacturing plants received their production targets and other instructions from government ministries 🏤. Government officials 👨💼 also decided who would receive coveted consumer items, such as washing machines and automobiles 🚗. This type of economic system is referred to as Socialist Economy. 🟩 During 1929-33, all capitalistst countries, there occurred a great depression 📰. Therefore, J.M. Keynes and economists after him have laid stress on the intervention by the government to tackle the problem of inflation 💸 and also ensure steady rate of economic growth. Economists such as Paul Samuelson, Hansen, Gabraith call this type of economic system a Mixed Economy. Hence, there is no economy today which is completely centralized or decentralised. Every society takes a hybrid approach. In the capitalist countries such as England 🇬🇧, the U.S.A. 🇺🇲, France 🇫🇷, Governments intervene in the economy and regulate the market mechanism, directly or indirectly. While there is no foolproof way to measure a society's degree of economic centralisation, we can get a general idea by examining statistics on the size of government consumption and expenditure.
