 The Impact of U.S. Economic Growthon the Rest of the World: How Much Does it Matter?Athanasios Vamvakidis and Vivek Arora No 2001/119, IMF Working Papers from International Monetary Fund Abstract: This paper provides a quantitative assessment of the impact of economic growth in the United States on growth in other countries. Using panel data estimation, the paper finds a significant positive impact of U.S. growth on growth in the rest of the world, especially developing countries, during the past few decades. The evidence suggests that the impact of U.S. growth on other countries can be explained by the significance of the United States as a global trading partner. The paper provides estimates of the direct impact of trade with the United States on growth in several individual countries.
