Talk:Economy of Europe

Unnecessary reference to the American economy removed.

The comment that the EU's GDP is larger than the United States' was removed. If the EU has the largest economy in the world, then it obviously is larger than the USA's. However, stating that it is so is debatable. The United States is a single country--the EU is not. There are several other trade blocs with an economy larger than the EU's (notably NAFTA's--for a functioning bloc, and APEC for a looser one). Chiss Boy 01:02, 4 February 2007 (UTC

While you are correct that the EU is not a nation, NAFTA is much looser grouping than the EU. You will find a great deal more said about the EU BECAUSE it is very 'nation' like than any other trading block. EU trade and economic policy operates more as one nation than it does in other true nations. 143.167.202.7 12:07, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

True, the EU gonverns every aspect of life within member states. For example, the highest court of the land in Great Britain can be over-ruled by the European court. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.55.124.2 (talk) 20:21, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

the percentage of Gross world product is decreasing

Although EU25 GDP is on the increase, the percentage of Gross world product is decreasing

is this true by back dating the economies of acceding contries,or new members ar conted as quantum leaps?--Pixel ;-) 01:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

• Obviously, as developing countries such as the PRC and India start gaining a larger portion of global GDP, and are growing at a much faster rate than the EU, the EU's percentage of global GDP will decline. Chiss Boy 01:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Let me explain it using an abstract example. Suppose you have two varaibles (A & B). In 2004, A had a value of 50 and so did B. Toghther thay had a combined value of 100 with A and B making up 50% of the total. The value of a A is growing at 5 points a year, the value of B is growing at 7 points a year. In 2006, after two years of mutual growth, variable A has a value of 60, while B has a value of 74. The total combined value is 134 with A making up 45% of the total and B making up 55% of the total. You see, even though both A and B increased in value, B just grew so much faster that it changed the overall breakdown. That will either help or confuse you ;-) Signature^brendel 03:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
