Commodity Price Uncertainty Comovement: Does it Matter for Global Economic Growth?

Financial sector in the Republic of Croatia had a strong growth between 1995 2005.g. Liberalization of financial sector in 1999 led to an increase in bank foreign debt, which resulted in a strong increase in foreign currency reserves and appreciation of the national currency. The growth of the financial sector and credit expansion have been allocated in favour of private and public consumption, but not in industry investments. GDP growth didn't have the same momentum as financial aggregates. Economic growth, after a contraction in 1999 was within the average of global economic growth. Relying on neoclassical growth model, government and central bank didn't put in place the needed set of pro-active policies. Factor allocation was solely through private bank channels financing private consumption. If the sustainable economic growth and new employment are to be major macroeconomic goals, a new macroeconomic paradigm as combination of neclassical and neokeynesians approach will be needed.

Global Economic Growth

The volume of waste generated by mining and mineral processing industries has escalated each day because of increased demand caused by global economic growth. The kaolin processing industries are important economic segments in the state of Paraiba, but generate huge amounts of waste. An alternative for the recycling of this waste is its use in mortars. The kaolin contained in wastes after thermal treatment can reduce the consumption of cement in the production of mortars. It was evaluated the influence of firing temperatures of the residue on its pozzolanic activity. The residue was fired at temperatures of 600°C, 700°C and 800°C for 2h and subjected to mineralogical analysis. The evaluation produced the mortar with a mixture of kaolin waste burned at temperatures of 600°C, 700°C and 800°C with lime delivering true a good mechanical performance, reaching values of compressive strength greater than the legislated.

The Impact

This chapter analyses the drivers and constraints on the rate of economic growth in South Africa from the 1950’s apartheid-era through to the democratic period post-1994. Key structural factors identified as impacting on the rate and composition of economic growth include the country’s history of racial injustice and exclusion, its industrial structure and linkages to the global commodity price cycle, the evolution of macroeconomic imbalances and related infrastructure investment failures, and the impact of weak state capacity and corruption. Thereafter, the chapter outlines a number of strategic policy interventions for overcoming constraints to inclusive economic growth in South Africa.

The Impact

This chapter begins with a brief exploration of the importance of entrepreneurial activity as a driver of global economic growth. The importance of entrepreneurship in developing economies is examined as are the traits, motivations, and drivers of entrepreneurs and the economic, social, cultural, legislative, and regulatory circumstances that encourage and in some cases discourage entrepreneurial activity. The impact of entrepreneurship training and education on encouraging women entrepreneurs is examined, the relative importance of women entrepreneurs is examined, and emphasis is placed on the relatively greater difficulties that are faced by women entrepreneurs particularly in regards to obtaining funding for starting new ventures. Opportunities are identified that may useful for policy makers, investors, and those that may seek to promote social entrepreneurship and economic growth in developing economies.
