How Can We Measure The Value of Economic Production?
• Gross National Product (GNP): value of goods and services produced by a country in a year
• Gross Domestic Product (GDP): value of goods and services produced in a country in a year
• Gross National Income (GNI): value of goods and services produced in a country in a year plus net income from other sources

Additional Key Measure of Economic Development:
Labor Force Structure Percent Employed in Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Sectors
Quaternary: information generation & sharing
Quinary: high level decision making

Shortcomings of GNP, GDP and GNI?
• Only measure formal economy–Do not include subsistence, informal and
illegal (black market) activities• Do not measure true costs of
production (externalities)–Examples: environmental effects, health
effects, working conditions, etc.

Example: Externalities
As China develops economically, a wealthier population purchases more cigarettes, which helps the economy in the short run, but will result in increased health care costs in the
future.

GDP per capita
![Page 24: Review Images #6: Economic Geography](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef3b3a1a28ab57278b4691/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Walt Rostow
Economist
U.S. National Security Advisor 1966-1969
![Page 25: Review Images #6: Economic Geography](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef3b3a1a28ab57278b4691/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Rostow’s Stages of Growth Modelalso called Modernization Model, Take Off Model &
Ladder of Development
– Stage 1: Traditional Society - Subsistence– Stage 2: Preconditions for Take-off - Leadership
embraces modernization– Stage 3: Take-off - Industrialization, urbanization,
technology adoption– Stage 4: Drive to Maturity - Industrial
specialization, technology diffusion, international trade, slowing population growth
– Stage 5: High Mass Consumption - High incomes, diverse production, emphasis on tertiary sector
![Page 26: Review Images #6: Economic Geography](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef3b3a1a28ab57278b4691/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Neocolonialism
• Political colonialism has ended, economic colonialism continues …–Structuralist theory: economic disparities
are built in to the global economy; can not easily be changed
–Dependency theory: former colonies are still dependent on their former colonial powers
![Page 27: Review Images #6: Economic Geography](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef3b3a1a28ab57278b4691/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Wallerstein’s World Systems Theory
1. The world economy has one market & a global division of labor.
2. Although the world has multiple states, almost everything takes place within the context of the (a single) world economy.
3. The world economy has a three-tier structure (core, periphery and semi-periphery)

Barriers to Development: Low Standard of Living
Inadequate nutrition, health care, sanitation, drinking water, and lack of access to education. High rates of disease.
![Page 30: Review Images #6: Economic Geography](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef3b3a1a28ab57278b4691/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Barriers to Development: Foreign Debt
• World Bank & International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan money to developing countries
• Developing countries spend huge amounts of money repaying loans with interest, leaving little money for other development efforts
• Austerity (cost-cutting) measures can create social problems and unrest
![Page 31: Review Images #6: Economic Geography](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef3b3a1a28ab57278b4691/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Costs of Development: Export Processing Zones or
Free Trade Zones
Millions of people work in EPZs in 100+ countries producing clothes, shoes, electronics & toys

Uneven Development Within the State
• Government policies may give some producers an advantage over others– Subsidies (payments to producers)
– Import quotas (limits on what can be imported from certain countries)
– Trade agreements (WTO, NAFTA, etc.)• Governments may make investments
that give certain locations an advantage over others– Islands of development

Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) Play a Key Role in
Development Efforts• More than 40,000 internationally
– Some have budgets & staff larger than countries!

Industrial Revolution• 1700’s - 1800’s• Began in UK, diffused to Europe, later to U.S.
and rest of world• Manual (hand) labor replaced by machines
– New energy source: burn coal steam– New machines produced textiles (fabrics) & iron– Trade expanded - new canals, roads, railroads &
ships helped transport• Early industrial locations were based on:
access to capital ($), coal fields and ports

Location Theory•Weber’s Least Cost Theory: industry locates
where costs are lowest• Transportation
–Bulk losing industry: if raw materials are bulkier than end product, locate close to raw materials
–Bulk gaining industry: if end product is bulkier than raw materials, locate close to market (consumers)
• Labor–Unskilled: found everywhere–Skilled: more difficult to find
• Agglomeration: cluster together with similar industries to lower common costs

• Post-Fordist: production dispersed around the globe

From the Rust Belt to the Sunbelt
![Page 57: Review Images #6: Economic Geography](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef3b3a1a28ab57278b4691/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Sunbelt Has Gained Jobs Due To Relatively Low Labor Costs and Taxes
Read about the Sunbelt:http://geography.about.com/od/specificplacesofinterest/a/sunbelt.htm

Why The Sunbelt?“Industries such as aerospace, defense and oil boomed in the Sun Belt as companies took advantage of the low involvement of labor unions in the south .. and enjoyed the proximity to many U.S. military installations … The oil industry helped propel many southern states such as Texas and Louisiana forward … tourism exploded in Florida and southern California … high tech and new economy industries have been major drivers of growth in California and Texas as well as many other parts of the Sun Belt … More than a third of all Fortune 500 companies today are based in the belt with Texas and California among the top 3 states in the nation.” (New York #2)
