Summary
Based on assumptions for cognitive development at the level of nations, on past economic growth and on achieved wealth a theoretical model for cognitive and wealth development in the twenty-first century is described. Assumptions on future cognitive development include factors such as the FLynn effect; expansion and improvement of education; changes in demographics and differential birth rates; migration; general cultural and environmental changes. Economic growth and wealth models consider past growth, cognitive development, demographic change, achieved wealth (resp. advantages of backwardness), rising complexity, country risk factors and regional neighbour effects. Results for the year 2100 depending on the chosen models are presented.
