Determinants of economic and growth and nominal real GDP growth rates
The large section in economic theory analyzes the casual connection between economic growth and exports. Undoubtedly, since exports comprise the major determinants of economic development, export increase contributes to development of economic development. Nevertheless, there are yet some more indirect factors that affect the relationship between economic growth and exports. These determinants are described as follows.
Macroeconomic environment: A steady macroeconomic environment characterized by little and anticipated inflation, sustainable financial plan insufficiency and inadequate departure of the actual exchange rate the equilibrium level conveys a significant signal to the private segment regarding the credibility and commitment of a nation’s authorities to effectively control their economy as well as increase the chance set for cost-effective investments. Government consumption normally has indirect effect towards private productivity; however, it decreases growth and saving by distorting effects from government expenditure or taxation program.
Governance and organizations: the responsibility of organizations and democracy in the economic development process has been the origin of substantial research effort. Both organizational quality and political freedom are vital determinant of economic development by use of political rights as well as civil freedom indices to determine the organizations quality and capture the incidence of free and fair voting and dispersed political power.
Geography and predetermined factors: there are influential views that argue that disparities in natural endowments like climatic conditions, may determine income differences all the countries. According to Krugman, 34, in his literature on the new economic geography, he gives a closely related view that stresses market remoteness to explain spatial difference in financial activity. In order to scrutinize the level at which natural features matters for development, numerous geographic indicators like land area percentage in the geographic tropics or either the population fraction in the geographical tropics. In addition, another fixed such as active involvement in conflicts during sample period or independence timing might have an effect towards economic development.

The graph illustrates the once a year increase rate of the Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States since 1995 to 2014. GDP stands for the market cost of every final products and services offered within a particular nation at a particular time. In this case, the Real GDP grew by 2.4 % in 2014. The decrease in GDP in 2011 mainly reflected recessions in individual inventory investment, while in national government spending and a decline in exports were partially offset by decrease in imports.
The United States economy increased an annualized 1.5 % on quarter in a period of three month to September 2015 lower that 3.9 % increase in the previous months and below market anticipations, in accordance to the advanced approximation provided by the Economic Analysis Bureau. Increases in business and consumers expenditure were offset by negative input from change in the personal inventories. Therefore, America’s GDP Growth Rate was 3.2 % since 1995 to 2015 in average reaching an every time rise of about 16.9 % in the early quarter of 1995 and recorded negative ten percent low in the initial quarter of 1998.
On the side of operating expense, private utilization accounts for about 68 % of the overall GDP where 23 % constitutes goods purchases, while 45 % constitutes services. Private inventories accounts for about 16 % of government utilization as well as GDP and investment for about 18 %. While the cost of exported goods of about 13.5 % is below the cost of imported goods of about 16.5 &, net exports minuses three percent from the overall GDP value.
