Figure 1 below demonstrates the falling annual growth rate. We have to take into account the “mechanical” component of real GDP growth as related to the immigration - the population growth is much higher than the BLS reports. Figure 2 presents the growth rate of real GDP per capita. The data for the most recent years are likely corrupted by the hidden population growth. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQxoQKXh3xrTmE-6_kgVuDwiyD4PTIZYJ9kWwzQPxMEfTBrtetPWNpkGn-VobRJPDvMfJp5FVo1U4XHmCglV95AzR6yRDkQ4xTaJcYN3kurl9J2r5OUbRV8cxmX7SApj9cbNSBUVKhckXRr6RLiiPiBO5taP70I_B-tskXCt_8XkP5xF95naPKpoqcvcrh" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="574" data-original-width="1166" height="198" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhQxoQKXh3xrTmE-6_kgVuDwiyD4PTIZYJ9kWwzQPxMEfTBrtetPWNpkGn-VobRJPDvMfJp5FVo1U4XHmCglV95AzR6yRDkQ4xTaJcYN3kurl9J2r5OUbRV8cxmX7SApj9cbNSBUVKhckXRr6RLiiPiBO5taP70I_B-tskXCt_8XkP5xF95naPKpoqcvcrh=w400-h198" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Figure 1. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOOyhb9qWh_6eRKj1GeM51VMj-96379MYYjoSV7axQJxXfJ478NP43qnZ1Txl038cKP_lR-uSYC1tb0rqFIQvpMoNMBpk8P7h0FAcw8-UOB-dYh7I3xW1dXEAwxPOxzZW2dkx9BjbNvCJU-7mWwjrA_UWCod3u49HlaCXjR0RMlDWYpLrwVwUYtYv-ylCX" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="621" data-original-width="1149" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiOOyhb9qWh_6eRKj1GeM51VMj-96379MYYjoSV7axQJxXfJ478NP43qnZ1Txl038cKP_lR-uSYC1tb0rqFIQvpMoNMBpk8P7h0FAcw8-UOB-dYh7I3xW1dXEAwxPOxzZW2dkx9BjbNvCJU-7mWwjrA_UWCod3u49HlaCXjR0RMlDWYpLrwVwUYtYv-ylCX=w400-h216" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Figure 2. </div><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-64644553776507577952024-01-19T17:48:00.006+01:002024-01-20T10:25:41.868+01:00Haidt is not right?<p> There is a famous figure on the foundations of the human-feelings-based moral. There are many versions available and I use just one, showing that the difference between conservatives and liberals is about authority, loyalty (ingroup) and sanctity. I wonder if the authority and loyalty are not the driving force of liberals in routine life and politics. Purity is even of larger importance for them, as they destroy to ash anyone who do not share their religion.

First, it works! The annualized quarter to quarter growth is 4.9% (Figure 1) and the annual growth rate close to 3% (Figure 2). All negative side of this growth are insignificant, as the Biden team insists. This is not true, unfortunately. The illegal immigration drives the demand side of the economics and inflation will be growing as the real GDP growth is not intensive due to productivity but rather extensive - 10 million new consumers. When immigration stops, real GDP will drop. </p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiEwRslqNSXuJ91mBstU26g4cVCyzD6S3clNCmk9ALxO0DFMhfXo4uczQWGV4sNwPThr_wugOXPzaEBQ49eUlkB_S5RGyLq5UJP8GDxvWwbiaLGN8Ts6jsy1w4QoNHWFyIWSTzNIzXco4-x3D_uVqOpA3G9zM9K0dz1zyqy5AicGOdZxvw3RpAC3o71An4A" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="753" data-original-width="1304" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiEwRslqNSXuJ91mBstU26g4cVCyzD6S3clNCmk9ALxO0DFMhfXo4uczQWGV4sNwPThr_wugOXPzaEBQ49eUlkB_S5RGyLq5UJP8GDxvWwbiaLGN8Ts6jsy1w4QoNHWFyIWSTzNIzXco4-x3D_uVqOpA3G9zM9K0dz1zyqy5AicGOdZxvw3RpAC3o71An4A=w400-h231" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Figure 1.

Разница между западными и незападными евреями<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Запад дал однозначный ответ по результатам Второй мировой. Руководители Германии, посмевшие напасть за запад, приговорены к смерти и длительным срокам. Исполнители, воевавшие с СССР, это воины правды и герои. Их спасли для дальнейшего использования. Единственная загвоздка это холокост. С этой проблемой вроде тоже справились. Смерть незападных евреев больше преступлением не является. Назовите хоть одного восточного еврея известного как Анна Франк. Преступники, казнившие евреев в Бабьем Яру и поляков на Волыни, это борцы с СССР. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Не подчинившиеся США страны являются их врагами. Не враги США это страны подчинившиеся им. США поддерживает нацистов, убивающих русских. Это решение запада после Второй мировой. Однозначно. По-другому и не было. Надо пересмотреть наши союзнические отношения во время ВОВ. Запад воевал против Германии, напавшей на них. Запад не воевал с нами, а использовал против Германии.</span></p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-10131834458806815442023-09-09T15:14:00.007+02:002023-09-09T15:14:51.159+02:00The U.S. will never get back to the (visible) prosperity of the 1950s<p style="text-align: justify;">The 1950s and 1960s were the years of U.S. prosperity as many people think. This was the middle-class era. People recall it with nostalgia. Let's take a look at the reasons behind the optimism of the 1950s. Figure 1 below shows the evolution of the mean income with age. The age bins for the mean income estimates are 1 year of work experience and the data are obtained from <a href="https://www.ipums.org/">IPUMS</a>. We compare the years of 1950, 1990, and 2019. To compare data from different years we normalized all estimates to the peak mean income for a given year (Figure 2 displays the normalized mean income evolution in 1950, 1980, and 1990). As a result, we observe in the figure the relative mean income growth with age experience (starting at the age of 16).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">One can see that in 1950 people with 10 years of work experience had 75% of the peak income. In 1990, this share dropped below 60%. In 2019, the mean income with 10 years of work experience was just above half of that in 1950 - 40%. Therefore, the rate of income growth has a long-term decline in the younger age group where people create families and raise children. It was easy in the 1950s and 1960s. And it is almost impossible in the 2020s for a majority of the U.S. population. Unfortunately, the peak age for the mean income increases as a square root of the real GDP per capita. The future of U.S. society is defined by income growth - the chance for young people to create families and raise children will diminish with real economic growth. The visible prosperity of the 1950s will never return. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXq0VK4Ghr9zvJMhdoD_xG5weq6mTdyl8ObgwAedOcdSaTDcF9Y2_9EPzQDlSupEF32JqjC8KflsmgnfzIIA4NeSIU75EcmTKN8xciuQM4HLqN-mOUfSVJWCIYjjGUUc_e6w1AlLkHHlV6xsIXINq70r1o8HOidCUevGJjvLq8VkkmynQbqJVYyiJj1RjE" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1000" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhXq0VK4Ghr9zvJMhdoD_xG5weq6mTdyl8ObgwAedOcdSaTDcF9Y2_9EPzQDlSupEF32JqjC8KflsmgnfzIIA4NeSIU75EcmTKN8xciuQM4HLqN-mOUfSVJWCIYjjGUUc_e6w1AlLkHHlV6xsIXINq70r1o8HOidCUevGJjvLq8VkkmynQbqJVYyiJj1RjE=w400-h230" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Figure 1.

This is a very unusual observation and <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.02952">the paper from 2021 regains its importance</a>. I am going to write a new paper on the current seismic activity which is hard to explain by natural processes.</p><p><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(18, 18, 18) !important; font-family: "Open Sans", "Lucida Grande", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600 !important;"><br /></span></p><p><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(18, 18, 18) !important; font-family: "Open Sans", "Lucida Grande", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600 !important;">Abstract</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", "Lucida Grande", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">: </span><span class="abstract-full has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2111.02952v1-abstract-full" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: "Open Sans", "Lucida Grande", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The rate of aftershocks in the sequence initiated by the DPRK underground tests has been increasing since January 2021. In total, 22 reliable aftershocks were detected between January 13 and October 1, 2021. Their characteristics are similar to the aftershocks in one of two clusters: 1) the fifth DPRK (DPRK5) test (mb(IDC)=5.09) conducted on September 9, 2016, which induced the first DPRK aftershock in the sequence detected at 1:50:48 UTC on September 11, 2016; 2) the sixth DPRK (DPRK6) explosion (mb(IDC)=6.07), which generates its aftershock sequence with characteristics significantly different from the aftershocks in the DPRK5 sequence. The length, intensity, and alternating character of these sequences suggest specific mechanisms of energy release likely associated with the interaction of the damaged zones of the DPRK5 and DPRK6 and the collapse of their cavities with progressive propagation of the collapsing chimneys to the free surface. According to the depth estimates based on the moment tensor modelling, the DPRK5 and DPRK6 were conducted at practically the same depths. The difference in magnitudes suggests that their damaged zones differ by a factor of 2 or more. The first aftershock of the DPRK6 (mb(IDC=4.12) 8.5 minutes after the test is evidence of the cavity collapse and creation of a chimney, which did not reach the surface. The activity in 2021 indicates that the chimney collapse is not finished yet. One can expect more aftershocks in the near future, likely ended with the chimney reaching the free surface. </span></p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-19356449341465419672023-09-05T22:26:00.003+02:002023-09-05T22:35:33.042+02:00Gender income disparity in the USA<p> This paper <a href="https://ideas.repec.org/p/pra/mprapa/67146.html">"Gender income disparity in the USA: analysis and dynamic modelling"</a> is also of interest</p><p><br /></p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; clear: left; color: #333333; font-family: Asap, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 0.5em 0px 0px;">Abstract</h2><div id="abstract-body" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Asap, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We analyze and develop a quantitative model describing the evolution of personal income distribution (PID) for males and females in the U.S. between 1930 and 2014. The overall microeconomic model, which we introduced ten years ago, accurately predicts the change in mean income as a function of age as well as the dependence on age of the portion of people distributed according to the Pareto law. As a result, we have precisely described the change in the Gini ratio since the start of income measurements in 1947. The overall population consists of two genders, however, which have different income distributions. The difference between incomes earned by male and female populations has been experiencing dramatic changes over time. Here, we model the internal dynamics of men’s and women’s PIDs separately and then describe their relative contribution to the overall PID. Our original model is refined to match all principal gender-dependent observations. We found that women in the U.S. are deprived of higher job positions (work capital). This is the cause of the long-term income inequality between males and females in the U.S. It is unjust to women and has a negative effect on real economic growth. Women have been catching up since the 1960s and that improves the performance of the U.S. economy. It will take decades, however, to full income equality between genders. There are no new defining parameters included in the model except the critical age when people start to lose their incomes, which was split into two critical ages for low-middle incomes and the highest incomes, which obey a power law distribution. Such an extension becomes necessary in order to match the observation that the female population in the earlier 1960s was practically not represented in the highest incomes. In the overall model, the male population dominates in the top income range and the difference between two critical ages is masked. Gender versions of the refined model provide consistent quantitative descriptions of the principal features in the male and female income distribution.</div>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-68383815301860365652023-09-05T22:23:00.006+02:002023-09-05T22:23:53.940+02:00Race and gender income inequality in the USA: black women vs. white men<p><span style="background-color: white;">Almost every day, I have a request to publish this <a href="https://ideas.repec.org/p/pra/mprapa/101019.html">paper "</a></span><a href="https://ideas.repec.org/p/pra/mprapa/101019.html">Race and gender income inequality in the USA: black women vs. white men"</a> <span style="background-color: white;">in medical and social journals.

This difference is even larger when gender is involved. In a complementary study, we have developed a dynamic microeconomic model accurately describing the evolution of male and female incomes since 1930. Here, we extend our analysis and model the disparity between the black and white population in the U.S., separately for males and females. Unfortunately, income microdata provided by the U.S. Census Bureau for other races and ethnic groups is not time-compatible or too short for modeling purposes. We are forced to constrain our analysis to the black and white population, but all principal results can be extrapolated to other races and ethnicities. Our analysis shows that black females and white males are two poles of the overall income inequality. The prediction of income distribution for two extreme cases with one model is the main challenge of this study.</span></p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-837494958327544822023-09-03T12:17:00.006+02:002023-09-03T12:17:51.852+02:00How linear growth in real GDP per capita rips the world up<p>I wrote a paper <a href="https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2103/2103.10986.pdf">"Real GDP per capita: global redistribution of economic power" </a>in 2020 (available on arxiv.org) explaining the increasing frequency and atrocity of collisions between developed and developing countries. This is the final paragraph. </p><p>"Finally, in the world of the rapid growth of the future economic behemoths and stagnation of the
most developed countries conflicts are inevitable. Unfair trade restrictions, political pressure,
media attacks, propaganda, military aggression, and other dimensions of these conflicts may only
rise in amplitude and extent. These conflicts involve new countries in the global clash, which
also includes the clash of civilizations as an additional dimension. This is only because the
growth in real GDP per capita is a linear function of time. In the exponential economic world, the
lead of developed countries would be eternal as they had better start conditions and the exponent
provides the increasing economic gap. In the linear economic world, the lead in GDPpc is
constant, the chasing countries grow faster and the gap is shrinking in relative terms."</p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-36565453256277885492023-09-02T10:41:00.007+02:002023-09-02T10:42:26.170+02:00 BRICS makes peace<p><span face="TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0f1419; font-size: 17px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The BRICS old members, new members, and aspirants use BRICS to negotiate for peace.

Новые члены БРИКС рассматривают НЗ-СБ как пуленепробиваемый зонтик для независимости, поскольку Россия и Китай получают выгоду от такой защиты по мере ослабления Запада. Эффективный баланс интересов.</span></p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-717629728963470162023-08-24T22:30:00.001+02:002023-08-24T22:30:16.904+02:00About Prigozhin plane crash<p> <span style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03); color: #0f1419; font-family: TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">About Prigozhin plane crash. The conflict Prigozhin initiated made him a target for every friend and enemy. Easy to use and very effective. It also covers any business conflict/crime by political fog. Looks like the diamond business in Africa is dangerous.</span></p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-26264613052633615622023-08-24T22:29:00.002+02:002023-08-24T22:29:29.094+02:00Today, the BRICS has become a new United Nations Security Council for non-western countries<p> <span style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03); color: #0f1419; font-family: TwitterChirp, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Today, the BRICS has become a new United Nations Security Council for non-western countries. New BRICS members consider the NW-UNSC as a bulletproof umbrella for independence as Russia and China benefit from such protection as West weakens. Quite an effective balance of interest.</span></p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-2577161989616425112023-08-20T22:13:00.011+02:002023-08-20T22:15:20.982+02:00France invasion of Niger. A chance for Russian hypersonics <p> If France will invade Niger the situation with weapon supply will be the same as in Ukraine. Can Russia supply Niger with some hypersonic weapons to attack France's mainland? Obviously, such weapons can be controlled only by retired militaries. No Russian army. </p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-14803876774317462252023-08-14T12:30:00.000+02:002023-08-14T12:30:07.230+02:00Is the BRICS creating a new UN? Then the current BRICS members are the new UNSC! <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Any block or alliance has internal and external problems. China and Russia are two indispensable participants of BRICS and money and military might. Also, both the UNSC permanent members. The other three countries also see themselves as natural UNSC permanent members. I guess South Africa can forget about the UNSC as a country driven from the outside. Brazil has some chances to be supported, but France, UK, and US will veto if China and Russia put Brazil's membership forward. And vice versa. India is definitely a US ally – never get to the UNSC due to China and Russia. Of course, if the UNSC will survive. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">In case the UN will be dissolved, the BRICS is a good replacement. I wonder if the BRICS countries will have much more power without the UN than with the UN. This is the issue of the next session of the BRICS enlargements. Only countries important to the new UN will be taken aboard. The current BRICS is an extremely consistent UNSC replacement. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The BRICS provides diversity and balance.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #0f0f0f; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The Western alliance does not exist as such – the USA drives the vehicle. In the US or any other Western country is included, the BRICS will break.</span></p>Ivan Kitovhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16756147426052505832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143431742429926517.post-20732952705987542942023-08-04T21:56:00.002+02:002023-08-04T21:58:59.751+02:00Russia GDP PPP world's #5.
