Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PrefaceThis book divides three parts. The first part explains what future technology factors will influence US economy development. The second part explains what future technology factors will influence UK economy development. The final part that I shall give some economy theories to explain why these kinds of technological factors can influence future these both countries' economy growth. It brings this question: What are future influential technological development trend to US and UK?This book concerns to be given on my opinions and some economists' opinions to UK and US both countries government and businessmen what will be the most urgent important needs to develop on the technological product investments aspect. I shall indicate the online teaching technology and environment protect technology, such as natural energy, farming environment protect technology etc. as well as automatic technology in manufacturing industry , such as human intelligence products to give my reasons and some economists' reasons to explain to support why these three technological developments will be valid to invest to develop to UK society in the future. In this book final part, I shall give reasons to explain why some economy theories can be proved to satisfy these technological factors requirement to predict which can influence US and UK future economic growth. The economy theories include: welfare economic theory, Kaldor -Hicks efficiency theory, Pareto improvement theory, industrial production and pollution economy theory, natural rate of unemployment theory. Finally, I hope readers can attempt to analyze whether these economic theories can be applied to explain whether these technological factors can assist US and UK future economic growth.My view point and the economists both view point will be valid to be judged whether these three new technological development will be the most urgent important needs among other technology development to UK and US society within ten year. I hope that our ideas can assist UK and US government and businessmen to make the right decision to concentrate on developing these three technological development within ten years.

Book excerpt: Natural rate of unemploymentEconomists believe why natural rate of unemployment will occur in any countries. They indicate that during economy condition keeps at the balance situation ( condition), anyway any country government adopts any policy. However, the natural rate of unemployment won't reach to zero level as well as there are some people will still unemployed or it is possible that some people will be alternative employment between any time. Hence, it means that although US and UK is an developed country. It can not guarantee there are not any people unemployed, so the natural rate of unemployment will not reach to zero level.So, it seems that US and UK current economy condition had kept at the balance situation ( condition). Thus, even future science, technology, engineering and mathematics workers will drive US innovation and competitiveness by new ideas, new companies and new industries in US. However, US and UK employers frequently concern the supply and availability of this kind of workers. Over the past 10 years, growth in this kind of jobs was three times as fast as growth to general jobs in US. In the future the Natural rate of unemployment of US and UK science, technology, engineering and mathematics worker number must not reach zero level.Anyway, in the future, the perspective of bio-medical industry will be an alternative growth scenario. So, US and UK government will need to modest improvements in key policy areas to adopt bio-medical industry needs, e.g. more favorable coverage and payment policies for medical innovation, improvements in regulatory policy to create efficiencies in research and development process and improvements in policy to incentive R & D ( research and development) create efficiencies in the R & D process.As an industry rooted in science and advanced manufacturing, the innovation bio-medical industry is uniquely position to help maintain US leadership in new technologies and scientific to continue to create high quality, high wage R&D and manufacturing jobs and enhance America's global competitiveness in the future. In the future the Natural rate of unemployment of US and UK of bio-medical industry worker number must not reach zero level. Thus, if future US had enough job number which could supply to these high technological and bio medical industries of labors to do. However, the natural rate of unemployment must not reach at zero level and it does not represent its economy is poor because one developed country, such as US had been experiencing economy condition keeps at the balance situation( condition), so it's natural rate of unemployment must not reach zero level . Otherwise, the developing countries

Book excerpt: Assuming that UK high technological automatic manufacturing workers who would desire only to introduce changes in the workings of the international economic order and policies of countries participating in the present economic order rather than change the order itself, what will be UK manufacturers their specific economic preferences in the future? It implies tnat either concentrate on spending more investment to automatic high technological development, e.g. human intelligence automatic high technological products or still concentrate on spending more investment to common traditional technological products.However, UK was a developed Western country which had had strong automatic high technological development effort very long time. Otherwise, it compared to some developing countries, such as Asian China, Hong Kong, Korea etc. Asian countries their future economic growth rate will show un- surprising, different patterns, so the Asian countries has weak effort to invest high automatic technological product development, such as human intelligence technological development. The catching-up process suggests low economic growth rate in the high automatic technological product development to the Asian developing countries in the future.Hence, the future economists predict that it views as probable successors of the Western world economic leadership if any Western country, such as UK manufacturers who prefer to invest to any high automatic technological products development, e.g. developing on human intelligence automatic technological products more than traditional common technological products development. On the one side, but it seems important to stress that two very poor countries among the challengers-China and India-are examples of countries that changed their institutions and economic policies from no or little economic freedom to more economic freedom. Because there two countries whose governments prefer to lend loans to encourage their country manufacturers prefer to invest high automatic technological products manufacturing. On the other side, attitudes toward foreign direct investment (FDI) have undergone change since the 1960 s and a large majority of less developed countries, e.g. China and India are now competing strongly among themselves and with developed market economies for direct investment from multinational companies. So, UK will face China and India high automatic technological product competitors in the future. And in fact, all countries that joined Western developed economies did that without much (if any) external inflow of public resources. It is right time that UK government needs to lend loans to encourage domestic manufacturers to invest high automatic technological products to raise whose international high technological products sale effort to win its future competitors. So, machine resources will be increased demand to o UK manufacturers if who chose to spend machine resources to innovate to manufacture any new and high technological automatic products to raise human daily life needs in the future. It means that it is right time UK manufacturers need buy much machines to prepare to manufacture many future high technological automatic products when these machine prices are low.

Book excerpt: Part TwoUS Future TechnologyIntroductionDuring economic development stage, any country must encounter any new challenges and these new challenges had not encountered to occur to any country in the past. However, the most fast economic growth of country, such as US, it will have possible to encounter these same challenges during its economic development stage.I write this book aims to give my view points to indicate and explain what factors will cause US future economic growth. In this book part one, it will explain why these factors will impact US future economic growth. The factors include external environment impact of developing countries cities technological competitive investment factor, the trends impact on rural America's future economy factor, high level education and high birth rate factor, socio-economic and political factor, an increase in the returns to education factor influences US future labor market change, popular science, technology, engineering and mathematics kind of labor supply will be increased demand in US, increase development in genetics, human intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, 3D printing and biotechnology technological industry factor, US entrepreneurship innovation influence US future geography economic growth factor, the role of intangible assets influences the regional economic growth in US factor, social factor impacts US future economic growth, tourism industry influences US future economy growth, the effects of population growth influence US economy growth, reducing income inequality factor influences future boosting US economic growth, long term cheap medical cost trend factor influences US economic growth, talent management factor influence US economic growth factor, the impact of educational quality factor, bio-medical industry factor.Part TwoFuture factors influence US economic growthChapter TwoExternal environmental impact Some economists predict developing countries every city in the global 750 is projected to have a larger future technological economy growth. But the diversity of developing countries' economic performance is large. Developing economy cities, such as China, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea cities can grow rapidly by acquiring capital and technological know-how and putting them to use by their rapidly growing urban labor forces. Even, these developing countries cities' rapid technological development can impact to US labor market supply.Due to future rapid technological development to these developing countries, the result will cause developing countries cities, such as Asia China, Hong Kong, India cities economy growth will rapidly. Otherwise, developed western countries cities, such as US, UK, Canada, Australia, Span, Germany etc. countries lie close to the technological frontier have stable urban populations and more limited investment and job creation opportunities. It will influence these developed countries' economic growth is slow than the developing countries. Due to developing Asia countries cities will prefer to invest more technological development to compare to developed countries, such as US, UK, Canada, Australia, Span, Germany etc. countries. Therefore developed countries, such as US, UK, Canada, Australia, Span, Germany etc. countries tend to grow more slowly. It seems developing Asia countries, such as Hong Kong, China, Korea etc. countries urban and central cities economic performance within developing countries will be better than developed countries, such as UK, US urban and central cities within five years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress.

This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "disruptive technology" describes a technology that results in a sudden change affecting already established technologies or markets. Disruptive technologies cause one or more discontinuities in the normal evolutionary life cycle of technology. This may lead to an unexpected destabilization of an older technology order and an opportunity for new competitors to displace incumbents. Frequently cited examples include digital photography and desktop publishing. The first report of the series, Persistent Forecasting of Disruptive Technologies, discussed how technology forecasts were historically made, assessed various existing forecasting systems, and identified desirable attributes of a next-generation persistent long-term forecasting system for disruptive technologies. This second book attempts to sketch out high-level forecasting system designs. In addition, the book provides further evaluation of the system attributes defined in the first report, and evidence of the feasibility of creating a system with those attributes. Together, the reports are intended to help the Department of Defense and the intelligence community identify and develop a forecasting system that will assist in detecting and tracking global technology trends, producing persistent long-term forecasts of disruptive technologies, and characterizing their potential impact on future U.S. warfighting and homeland defense capabilities.

Book excerpt: Research and innovation in the life sciences is driving rapid growth in agriculture, biomedical science, information science and computing, energy, and other sectors of the U.S. economy. This economic activity, conceptually referred to as the bioeconomy, presents many opportunities to create jobs, improve the quality of life, and continue to drive economic growth. While the United States has been a leader in advancements in the biological sciences, other countries are also actively investing in and expanding their capabilities in this area. Maintaining competitiveness in the bioeconomy is key to maintaining the economic health and security of the United States and other nations. Safeguarding the Bioeconomy evaluates preexisting and potential approaches for assessing the value of the bioeconomy and identifies intangible assets not sufficiently captured or that are missing from U.S. assessments. This study considers strategies for safeguarding and sustaining the economic activity driven by research and innovation in the life sciences. It also presents ideas for horizon scanning mechanisms to identify new technologies, markets, and data sources that have the potential to drive future development of the bioeconomy.

Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.
