One of the more important measures in regard to international economics is the balance of payments. Think of it as a national accounting measure that looks at the flow of goods and services into and out of an economy in a given period of time. It also shows capital flows into and out of a country.

In the course of the past 30 years, the United States has moved to a negative balance of payments and to being a debtor nation. Review and discuss the following:

  • Discuss the importance of the balance of payments as an accounting measure.
