ПОКАЗАТЕЛИ ЗА ИЗМЕРВАНЕ НА ИКОНОМИЧЕСКАТА ГЛОБАЛИЗАЦИЯ

Abstract

Improving the understanding of the impacts of globalisation requires quantitative work in at least three areas: measurement of its magnitude and intensity, its economic impact, and lastly its links with structural adjustment policies. A set of indicators has been proposed, essentially in the form of ratios derived from basic statistics measuring the magnitude and intensity of the process of globalisation in its different dimensions. Priority is given to those that are considered the mainsprings of globalisation: international trade, foreign direct investment, the activity of multinational firms and the production and international diffusion of technology.
