Review and assessment
[edit]A very nice, beginning article. Still somewhat in narrative outline form, not necessarily representing the broad range of perspectives on the topic. Thus, in my estimation, Class=C. Some possible aspects for future development:
- Would be helpful to develop and include some graphs over time to illustrate the stated long-term trends.
- Add a section on summarizing the variety of perspectives and debates on this topic.
- One could take a longer- or shorter-term view of this topic. GDP has been formally measured only for a relatively short period of time. But international trade has gone on for centuries. How would one quantitatively estimate millennial trends in international trade?
- What are the challenges in estimating international trade (transfer pricing, tax havens, faux reporting...)?
- In an era of globalized production-chains, what does it mean for components to go from one country to the next, get sub-assembled, re-assembled, and then shipped back to the country of origin? How many times does one product and its components get measured?
