What is globalization?
Globalization is the process enabling financial and
investment markets to operate internationally,

largely as a result of deregulation and improved
communications.

Flow of goods, services, capital, people, and information.

Numbers from 2012 in USD and in percent of global GDP.

Flow of goods, services, and capital. In USD trillion and in percent of GDP.
Total exports as a percentage of world GDP.

GDP = Consumption + Investments + Government spending + (Exports Imports).

Economic globalization
1.The extent of cross-border trade, investment and revenue
flows in relation to GDP.
2.The impact of trade and capital transaction restrictions.
Social globalization
1. Cross-border personal contacts measured in the form of telephone
calls, letters and tourist flows as well as the size of foreign population.
2. Cross-border information flows measured in terms of access to the
internet, TV and foreign press products.
3. Cultural affinity to the global mainstream measured in terms of the
number of McDonalds and IKEA branches as well as book imports
and exports in relation to GDP.
Question # 2
How is information
flowing around the world?
Strong growth in number of people using the Internet
The flow of information is increasing

1. Facebook attracted 6 million users in its 1st year.
2. It took radio 38 years to attract 50 million listeners.
3. It took more than 50 years after the telephone was
invented, until half of American homes had one.

Strong growth in cross-border

Internet traffic.
Much of the value of knowledge-intensive flows has yet

to be realized.
Example
The worlds supply of research has made a leap forward
as emerging markets have come online and as
academics have begun collaborating with international
colleagues at a rate not seen before.
Very little of the content created by users on, for example,

blogs, has been monetized directly from users. As a result,
the significant value that this content generates does not
show up in economic statistics but instead reveals itself as
consumer surplus.
Previous McKinsey research has shown that the surplus from

the United States and Europe alone is close to USD 250 billion
each year.
Question for you
Why do you share information on social media?

What is your purpose?
Question # 3
How are goods flowing
around the world?
Top 3 footwear exporting countries in 2014

Top importers of
coffee in 2013:
# 1: USA.
# 2: Germany.
# 3: Italy and France.
In 2014, 35% of goods crossed

borders, up from 20% in 1990.
Value of global exports, 1800 - 2014
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/world-trade-exports-constant-prices
From 1995 to 2012, the flow of goods has

grown by an average of 7.8% per year.

3D printing technology could make it easier

and cheaper to produce goods and services on
home soil. That could mean less trade and less
interaction between nations and their companies.

services trade is digital?

Digitally enabled share of total services trade

Question # 5
How is the global flow
of capital developing?
Flow of capital in 2002 and 2012
Global capital flows expanded 25 times

between 1980 and 2007.
The volume of cross-border payments is growing,

but the size of individual payments flying around the world
has diminished, as smaller economic actors have engaged in
cross-border trade, enabled by lower transaction costs
online and the rise of international e-commerce.
Between 2007 and 2011, that average value fell by 27%
in the UK, 58% in Germany, and 71% in Mexico.
In Eastern
Europe,

cash.

Question # 6
How many people cross
borders every year? Why?
The number of people, who travel, is increasing.
More than 1 billion people crossed borders

in 2009, over 5 times more than in 1980.
Million people
Short-term travel and students enrolling in

foreign universities have grown at 3.4% and 4.8% per
year, respectively, between 2002 and 2010.
Almost 250 million people live outside their country of birth.
http://www.mckinsey.com/global-themes/employment-and-growth/global-migrations-impact-and-opportunity
Between 1990 and 2015, the number of migrants

increased by 60%.
Migrants = people living outside their country of birth.
http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/migration/generalassembly/docs/A_71_296_E.pdf
Of the almost 250 million people,

who live outside their country of
birth, 16 million people come from
India.
Of the almost 250 million people,

who live outside their country of
birth, 47 million people live in the
United States of America.
42% of the people, who live in Sydney, Australia, were born

in another country than Australia.
Of the almost 250 million people, who live outside

their country of birth, 10% are refugees and
asylum seekers who migrated to other countries
to escape conflict and persecution.
http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/migration/generalassembly/docs/A_71_296_E.pdf
Research shows that when refugee food aid is in the form of cash rather
than food, the host country has greater economic benefits.
Example
http://www.wfp.org/ provides mobile phones linked to payment accounts
to refugees, who can then purchase food and other items at refugee and
host-country shops that accept mobile payments. Cash aid gives refugees
greater freedom in their purchases and greater variety in their diets. Also,
rising incomes of host-country businesses and farms stimulate new
rounds of spending and income gains in the local economy.
https://hbr.org/2016/10/research-refugees-can-bolster-a-regions-economy
Narrowing the wage gap between immigrant and

native workers from 20 30 percent to 5 - 10 percent
through better economic, social, and civic integration
would translate into an additional global output
of USD 800 billion to USD 1 trillion per year.
Question # 7
Which countries are the
most and least globalized?
Strong growth in trade between China and Africa
Year
2012
Volume of trade between China and Africa

USD 211 billion.
2000
USD 9 billion.
Question # 8
What are the results of the
increase in globalization?
Research shows that greater openness to crossborder exchanges of goods, services, finance,
and data and communication flows is linked to
faster growth in GDP, with both a short-term
and a long-term effect on growth.
5 results of globalization
1. More efficient allocation of resources across countries.
2. Higher productivity and efficiency.
3. Increased average incomes and wages.
4. Greater competition.
5. Lower prices and increased product variety and quality.
http://www.oecd.org/sti/ind/45954526.pdf
Openness to both inflows and outflows is linked to greater

economic growth in various ways:
by promoting the efficient allocation of resources,
by increasing competition,
by giving the domestic market access to ideas
and innovations.
The economic expansion and explosion in trade has

been accompanied by growing income inequality.
Chinas Gini index, a measure of income distribution
where 0 is perfect equality and 1 is perfect inequality,
has grown from roughly 0.3 in the early 1980s to above
0.45 in recent years.

Between 1988 and 2008. the Asian middle class and the global 1%
gained strongly from globalization
