Economics Assessment Task 1 (1 Viewer)

[nick1048]

Can anyone tell me what is an acute definition of financial flows and how the asian financial crisis illustrates the influence of them. Infact I only really need the definition, the text book is handing me a vague description, I was just wondering if anyone had something more concrete. That's about it ^_^ Thanks in advance

financial flows in the context of the syllabus (i'm assuming youre doing topic 1) basically means changes in investment. now that can be investment in capital (e.g. building a factory) or it can be foreign investment in different types of securities (e.g. shares, bonds, derivatives)... there are specific terms for these but i cant remember them off the top of my head

I think that the message ur trying to get accross is portfolio investment and foreign direct investment. portfolio investment generally means investing in stocks, while FDI's are investments in building a new company overseas or buying the company.

Read these on the crisis:

Plus what most others have said, just the flow of investments in and out of countries.

While talking about flows, what exaclty is a trade flow??

 

[nick1048]

a trade flow is the exchange of goods and services internationally. The flow itself is the action of transaction and to trade means goods and service. I hope that makes sense >.<

 

[Ednaw]

yeah that about sums it up but ill put it in lamens terms, trade flows are just imports and exports (goods and services) of a country

[mattchan]

Just a question, where are you guys up to in your economics syllabus in class?

 

[archangel leila]

well our class is up to variations in the standard of living in the global economy, but i think most schools are ahead of us? (could possibly be due to the fact that today in our double we watched monty python coz it was too hot to work...) btw sounds like everyone's first assessment task is on globalisation case study..ours was on world organisations (wto, imf, world bank). I'm a bit worried, but we haven't come to that part of the syllabus yet so hopefully it's all good..

hey we have staryted workin on the BOP etc

 

[Ednaw]

Well our classes are quite funny, our teacher is hardly there so i think we'd be a fair way behind where we should be. I think we just finished the equivalent of chapter 2 of the leading edge economics book (so only about 35pages through the textbook)
