On the Ticker: Best of DocuTicker
Emerging Markets
Companies never get tired of asking for resources relating to emerging markets. So info pros do well to always have a few new sources at their fingertips.
A series of DocuTip Reports will be introduced this summer, including several on finding reliable information on emerging markets. Here's a taster:
Extracted from DocuTip Report: Emerging Markets, by Adrian Janes
The IMF's World Economic Outlook: Crisis and Recovery, published in April 2009, is a comprehensive overview of the current state of economic affairs. The present crisis clearly has implications both for established economies and those seeking to develop because of their interdependence. Especially relevant in this report is Chapter 4, 'How Linkages Fuel the Fire: The Transmission of Financial Stress from Advanced to Emerging Economies'.
Examples of academic resources are Chuan Li's concise essay, What are Emerging Markets?, a handy introduction, and the Market Potential Index for Emerging Markets, provided by the International Business Center at Michigan State University (MSU). This uses a variety of indicators, such as Market Size, Market Growth Rate and Country Risk to compare the emerging economies and come out with an overall ranking. To help gauge trends, there is an archive going back to 1996. The Index is complemented by MSU's Country Insights, an excellent source to check facts about both countries and regions that fall within the parameters of emerging markets.
