• Research each economy selected by your Team. Compare similarities and differences between your assigned countries/economies and how their economic, political, and cultural development since 1992 has influenced their economic growth and trade competitiveness.
  Use tables and/or graphs to support your analysis of the following economic statistics/indicators of your 2 assigned economies through the most recent year available since 2009 (the trough of the last economic cycle). Whenever possible, plot the metric for both economies on the same chart.
• GDP per capita growth over time
• Inflation rate over time
• Unemployment rate over time
• Exports as a % of GDP over time
• National government debt as a % of GDP
• Evaluate the reasons why the economic growth of the 2 economies/countries varied. Discuss how international trade influenced the strength of each economy. Discuss the role of value chains and value-added production.

  Cite at least 2 academically credible sources.
  Format your citations according to APA guidelines.
