The effects on industrialized nations due to the growth in newly
industrialized countries are as follows-
- Increase in trade imbalance- Due to the growth
of newly industrialized countries, larger amount of cheaper
finished goods are available in the market which impacts the trade
balances of already industrialised nations as consumers will shift
their preferences to cheaper substitutes.
- Negative consumer externality- The growth of
new industrialized countries will just add to the existing
environmental pollution and effect the societal welfare of nations
as a whiole. Lesser reources will be available for the already
established industrialized nations as most of it will be consumed
by the newly industrialised nations(who were earlier large
exporters of raw materials) at better cost benefits.
- Increased global competition- The global
comepetition will increase as a result of entry of this newly
industrialised nations in the global markets, which will in turn
limit the existing market power of the industrialised nations and
decrease the overal economic profits of these nations.
- Economic risks- It might cause an economic
risk for the industrialised nations by adversely affecting its
operations globally and impacting its property rights, economies of
scale and exxhange rates, et al.
