Question

Those who say the growing current account deficit in the United States is not a significant problem make the argument that:

1.the current account deficit may hurt exporters, but American consumers gain as a result of lower relative prices.

2.the current account deficit is offset by an equally large capital account deficit, which ultimately leads to appreciation of the U.S. dollar.

3.the large current account deficit will ultimately lead to a current account surplus.

4.the increased investment in the United States as a result of the current account deficit will ultimately lead to increases in wealth and economic growth in the United States.

Definition Definition Increase in the amount of goods and services produced by a country in a given period of time compared to an earlier period. Economic growth is generally coupled with a rise in national income or the purchasing power of individuals. It is often measured in terms of the increase in a country's gross domestic product (GDP), or the overall monetary value of all the complete or final services and goods that a country can produce within its domestic boundaries in a specific period.
