Growth at a Global Scale



There are a number of factors that are influencing growth at a global scale. These factors include regional trade agreements, talent shortages, and uncertainty.


Uncertainty


The world's economy is experiencing a sizable change. As a result, global uncertainty is increasing. This is due to a number of factors. For example, the second Gulf War and the euro area debt crisis have added to the uncertainty of the global economy.


Uncertainty is more pronounced in emerging economies than in advanced economies. However, it is also much more synchronised. It is positively related to trade linkages and financial linkages.


Since the beginning of the European debt crisis, global uncertainty has continued to increase. As a result, growth has slowed to below the previous level. In the United Kingdom, growth has dropped from 3.8 percent in 2022 to 1.8 percent in 2023.


There is no simple one-size-fits-all answer to this problem. Instead, managers need to identify the scope of the situation and establish appropriate actions. They need to be able to make strategy choices in real time, relying on the best market information, and adapting to dynamic changes.


One way to tackle this challenge is through an operating model. Companies that can withstand the trials ahead will be well-positioned. These organizations will have the ability to rapidly adapt to the changing environment and acquire talent.


Talent shortage


Many companies are struggling to recruit talent for their workforce. They're finding it difficult to fill positions in marketing, IT, and office support.


In order to keep up with industry demand, companies need to rethink their HR practices. They must focus on onboarding, upskilling, and innovation. By doing so, they can build a pipeline of talented employees that will enable them to meet their goals.


As more employees retire, the talent shortage will only worsen. It will also impact entire industries. Some companies are shutting down due to staff shortages. This means less profit for companies, and more staff turnover.


A new study by Korn Ferry predicts a global talent shortage of 85 million by 2030. It could cost the world economy $8.5 trillion USD. The United States could face a deficit of six million skilled workers by that year.


Russia and Japan are also facing a talent shortage, with six and eight million skilled workers in need of jobs by 2039. And China is expected to be short on talent twice that amount by the end of the decade.


Regional trade agreements


Regional trade agreements are an integral part of today's interconnected market. They aim to stimulate economic growth and knowledge transfer among participating countries. They are also increasingly used to complement the multilateral trading system.


One of the largest RTAs is the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), which includes China, Japan, and South Korea. It is also a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), which tracks preferential trade agreements. In the last few decades, there has been an increased number of such deals. The European Union is currently negotiating on a large number of them.


Regional trade agreements stimulate economies of scale. Moreover, they cover essential policy issues in today's interconnected markets. Consequently, the increase in the number of RTAs poses interesting questions to economists.


A key issue is whether the increasing number of RTAs is welfare improving. Economists will need to assess whether the agreements have a positive or negative effect. However, the endogeneity of the agreements means that the economic impacts of entering a RTA are often uncertain.


Clarke urban growth model (UGM)


The Clarke urban growth model is a cellular automaton that simulates urbanisation over time. It has been successfully applied worldwide for fifteen years.


The Clarke model is based on a simple assumption: a single urban cell is located in the middle of a digital image. However, this is a crude representation of the space that is used.


A series of Monte Carlo iterations is performed to calculate the probabilities of urbanisation. In this process, the probability is divided into percentile groups, and the individual probability group is compared with the cumulative real value. For each percentile group, the true positive and false positive rates are plotted.


Based on the resulting projection, the global urban cover is estimated to reach 1.7 x 106 km2 by 2050. This figure is approximately 1.4 times the area covered by 2012. The global bulk urban area will increase at a rate of 4.1%.


This is a result of the GUGPS model that was developed to address the lack of high-resolution urban growth projection databases. These datasets provide predictions of urban growth from 2020 to 2050.
