german economy 2004-2011
Assessment: Germany 2011

Germany from 2004 until 2011, showed a positive trend with the GDP per capita. From $29,684.33 in 2004, Germany boosted their GDP per capita up to $39,187.01 in 2011, which is approximately a 50% increase. This shows that Germany managed to put its economy in an upward trend, although the Eurozone was struggling with its economic growth, particularly during 2009 and 2010.
Similarly, GNI per capita of Germany in 2004 was $29,938.63, yet by 2011, the GNI per capita was $39,943.53. This again shows a positive trend overall, which shows that Germany has been growing gradually as years passed with its economy. One thing which differs GNI from GDP is that GNI involves overseas investments and foreigners ' earns in the country. GNI is calculated by GDP +overseas investment - foreigners earns. Thus, it shows that by 2011, Germany is approximately making $800 more overseas investment than foreigners earns per person, meaning that German goods are doing well outside the country, and that Germans are not spending so much money on foreign goods.
Real GDP growth overall was positive, positively growing except for 2009. However, Eurozone overall was in a crisis during that period, and Germany did very well in 2010 and 2011 to escape the crisis and get back to its continuous growth with economy. With some calculations done, it showed that Germany 's economy 's Real GDP growth from 2004 to 2011 was 10.55%, which is a stretch for Germany 's economy. Moreover, the fact that Eurozone crisis between 2009 and 2011 caused a 5.1% drop with Real GDP growth of Germany, and that there was 10.55% increase over those 7 years, shows that Germany dealt well with the Eurozone crisis.
The total tax revenue stayed around a similar amount through those 7 years. (The data is only available until 2010) Until 2010, the tax revenue only increased by 1.3%, and the maximum tax revenue reached was only 37.3%, which is a minimal amount increase. This shows that the

    Annual percentage growth rate of GDP at market prices based on constant local currency. Aggregates are based on constant 2005 U.S. dollars. GDP is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. The United Stated economy and those of other high income economies are expected to grow by 1.9 percent in 2014, accelerating to 2.4 percent in 2015 and 2.5 percent in 2016. The Euro Area is on target to grow by 1.1 percent this year, while the United States economy, which contracted in the first quarter due to severe weather, is expected to grow by 2.1 percent this year (down from the previous forecast of 2.8 percent). The global economy is expected to pick up speed as the year progresses and is projected to expand by 2.8 percent this year, strengthening to 3.4 and 3.5 percent in 2015 and 2016, respectively. High-income economies will contribute about half of global growth in 2015 and 2016. (Bank, 2014) As you can see, the economic forecast…

    One possible answer to that question is unemployment rate. Dating back to the recession of 2008 the unemployment number started to climb from around 5 percent to the five year high of 10.1 percent in October of 2009. By June of 2010 it dropped to 9.4 percent, only to gradually climb to 9.8 percent by November of the same year. March of 1011 it was down to 8.9 percent and held at 9.1 percent from June through August. It continued to decline to 8.3 percent from August 2011 through January of 2012. It reached its five year low in April of 2012 at 8.1 percent and currently is at 8.2 percent. A continual increase in employment clearly had a part to do with the increase in GDP. We all know what happens next when more people are working.…

    Following World War II, the United States and Germany were left in very different positions economically, hegemonically, and even psychologically. While the United States had been involved in postwar peace talks and in forming a new world order, Germany had no voice in anything and received massive reparations to pay. Originally Germany faced a bill that forced them to pay $56,000,000,000, but was later reduced to $32,000,000,000. That amount was even further reduced to around $8,000,000,000, which was still an amount of money large enough to halt any German economic progress. Meanwhile, the United States controlled monetary flow across the globe. This massive disparity in standing between the United States and Germany created tensions that…
