Fear of that strategy could cause investors to demand even higher real interest rates.

Real demand for migrant workers in member States, by sectors of the economy, over the past five years

This means that, in a competitive labor market, real wages will always be instantly adjusted to changes in conditions of demand.

Higher real interest rates discourage credit financed purchases by households and businesses. This weakens overall demand, leading to steeper declines in prices.

The world may enter a new era in which investment demand exceeds desired savings which means that real interest rates must rise.

The government might be tempted to rely on rapid inflation to try to reduce the real value of its debt. Fear of that strategy could cause investors to demand even higher real interest rates.

China s real estate investment accounted for 10 of GDP, and slower investment growth in the sector necessarily reduces import demand, directly and indirectly.

This should help to solve the problem of insufficient demand for real estate, which could have led to the collapse of China s economy.

In the real world, of course, such countries political economies demand short term gains, beginning with basic services like potable water and electricity.

But expanding demand and allowing real effective exchange rate appreciation in China will not be enough if other countries do not do their part.

The main differences between the leading Israeli parties are more atmospheric than real, mainly concerning how much to concede and how much to demand.

An important victim will be Japan, where anemic real income growth is depressing domestic demand and exports to China sustain what little growth there is.

The real problem is perhaps not that the United Nations is ignored, but that all too often we demand too much of the United Nations.

Labor market liberalization in such circumstances not only undermines remaining social protection, but is also likely to diminish real incomes, aggregate demand, and, hence, recovery prospects.

That is by far the most protracted period of weakness in real US consumer demand since the end of World War II and a massive slowdown from the pre crisis pace of 3.6 annual real consumption growth from 1996 to 2007.

Hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets of Moscow and other big cities to demand a fair vote and real choices in the subsequent presidential election.

Over the last 18 quarters, annualized growth in real consumer demand has averaged a mere 0.7 , compared to a 3.6 growth trend in the decade before the crisis erupted.

If nominal and real depreciation (appreciation) of the deficit (surplus) countries fails to occur, the deficit countries falling domestic demand and the surplus countries failure to reduce savings and increase consumption will lead to a global shortfall in aggregate demand in the face of a capacity glut.

The developed countries should also address the root cause of the problem, namely the existence of a real market in their territory, for without that demand there would be no problem.

Half of India s growth has come from private consumption, and less than 10 from external demand by contrast, 65 of China s real GDP growth comes from exports, and only 25 from private consumption.

But, with high and persistent levels of unemployment in the United States, there is a real question about the nature of the problem is aggregate demand too low, or are there problems with supply?

So the real question is, What drives wages? Country level data suggest that the largest wage increases over the last decade are generally associated with the strongest growth in domestic demand (e.g. Spain, Greece).

Alternatively, rising interest rates and a downturn in the real estate market could so weaken consumer demand that the economy slips into recession, squeezing exporters in other countries that depend on the US market.

The low interest rate on long term Treasury bonds has also boosted demand for other long term assets that promise higher yields, including equities, farm land, high yield corporate bonds, gold, and real estate.

The relative price of the goods produced in the advanced countries (their real exchange rate) needs to depreciate vis à vis the emerging countries in order to compensate for the expected shortfall in internal demand.

It would be better if the EU kept the Luxembourg fund for real emergency measures, and if the ECB instructed its member institutions in the GIPS to demand significantly better collateral for their lending operations.

This is real, tangible change, real, tangible change.

Several factors have prevented high oil prices from affecting the demand for petroleum products in the US in recent years, such as increased government spending, low interest rates, tax breaks, and an increase in real incomes.

To offset the collapse in demand from industrial countries, they had stimulated domestic demand.

In terms of energy use, peak demand describes a period of simultaneous, strong consumer demand or a period of highest demand in a billing period.

Sustained budget deficits crowd out private investment, push up long term real interest rates, and increase the burden on future taxpayers. But they do not cause inflation unless they lead to excess demand for goods and labor.

As industries suffering from insufficient demand shed workers, industries benefiting from surplus demand hire them.
