UNITED STATES - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The US has the most technologically powerful economy in the world, with a per capita GDP of $57,300. US firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially in computers, pharmaceuticals, and medical, aerospace, and military equipment; however, their advantage has narrowed since the end of World War II. Based on a comparison of GDP measured at purchasing power parity conversion rates, the US economy in 2014, having stood as the largest in the world for more than a century, slipped into second place behind China, which has more than tripled the US growth rate for each year of the past four decades.
In the US, private individuals and business firms make most of the decisions, and the federal and state governments buy needed goods and services predominantly in the private marketplace. US business firms enjoy greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, to lay off surplus workers, and to develop new products. At the same time, businesses face higher barriers to enter their rivals' home markets than foreign firms face entering US markets.
Long-term problems for the US include stagnation of wages for lower-income families, inadequate investment in deteriorating infrastructure, rapidly rising medical and pension costs of an aging population, energy shortages, and sizable current account and budget deficits.
The onrush of technology has been a driving factor in the gradual development of a "two-tier" labor market in which those at the bottom lack the education and the professional/technical skills of those at the top and, more and more, fail to get comparable pay raises, health insurance coverage, and other benefits. But the globalization of trade, and especially the rise of low-wage producers such as China, has put additional downward pressure on wages and upward pressure on the return to capital. Since 1975, practically all the gains in household income have gone to the top 20% of households. Since 1996, dividends and capital gains have grown faster than wages or any other category of after-tax income.
Imported oil accounts for nearly 55% of US consumption and oil has a major impact on the overall health of the economy. Crude oil prices doubled between 2001 and 2006, the year home prices peaked; higher gasoline prices ate into consumers' budgets and many individuals fell behind in their mortgage payments. Oil prices climbed another 50% between 2006 and 2008, and bank foreclosures more than doubled in the same period. Besides dampening the housing market, soaring oil prices caused a drop in the value of the dollar and a deterioration in the US merchandise trade deficit, which peaked at $840 billion in 2008. Because the US economy is energy-intensive, falling oil prices since 2013 have alleviated many of the problems the earlier increases had created.
The sub-prime mortgage crisis, falling home prices, investment bank failures, tight credit, and the global economic downturn pushed the US into a recession by mid-2008. GDP contracted until the third quarter of 2009, making this the deepest and longest downturn since the Great Depression. To help stabilize financial markets, the US Congress established a $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in October 2008. The government used some of these funds to purchase equity in US banks and industrial corporations, much of which had been returned to the government by early 2011. In January 2009, Congress passed and President Barack OBAMA signed a bill providing an additional $787 billion fiscal stimulus to be used over 10 years - two-thirds on additional spending and one-third on tax cuts - to create jobs and to help the economy recover. In 2010 and 2011, the federal budget deficit reached nearly 9% of GDP. In 2012, the Federal Government reduced the growth of spending and the deficit shrank to 7.6% of GDP. US revenues from taxes and other sources are lower, as a percentage of GDP, than those of most other countries.
Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan required major shifts in national resources from civilian to military purposes and contributed to the growth of the budget deficit and public debt. Through 2014, the direct costs of the wars totaled more than $1.5 trillion, according to US Government figures.
In March 2010, President OBAMA signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a health insurance reform that was designed to extend coverage to an additional 32 million Americans by 2016, through private health insurance for the general population and Medicaid for the impoverished. Total spending on healthcare - public plus private - rose from 9.0% of GDP in 1980 to 17.9% in 2010.
In July 2010, the president signed the DODD-FRANK Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, a law designed to promote financial stability by protecting consumers from financial abuses, ending taxpayer bailouts of financial firms, dealing with troubled banks that are "too big to fail," and improving accountability and transparency in the financial system - in particular, by requiring certain financial derivatives to be traded in markets that are subject to government regulation and oversight.
In December 2012, the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) announced plans to purchase $85 billion per month of mortgage-backed and Treasury securities in an effort to hold down long-term interest rates, and to keep short-term rates near zero until unemployment dropped below 6.5% or inflation rose above 2.5%. In late 2013, the Fed announced that it would begin scaling back long-term bond purchases to $75 billion per month in January 2014 and further reduce them as conditions warranted; the Fed ended the purchases during the summer of 2014. In 2014, the unemployment rate dropped to 6.2%, and continued to fall to 5.5% by mid-2015, the lowest rate of joblessness since before the global recession began; inflation stood at 1.7%, and public debt as a share of GDP continued to decline, following several years of increases. In December 2015, the Fed raised its target for the benchmark federal funds rate by 0.25%, the first increase since the recession began. With US GDP growth below 2%, the Fed opted to raise rates three times since then, and in mid-June 2017, the range for the target rate stood at 1% to 1.25%.

HISTORY |
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Dow was founded in 1897 by chemist
Herbert Henry Dow, who invented a new method of extracting the bromine that
was trapped underground in brine at Midland, Michigan. The Dow Chemical Company was
incorporated in 1947 under Delaware law and is the successor to a Michigan
corporation, of the same name, organized in 1897. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Key Developments: |
Dow originally sold only bleach and potassium
bromide, achieving a bleach output of 72 tons a day in 1902. Early in the
company's history, a group of British manufacturers tried to drive Dow out of
the bleach business by cutting prices. Dow survived by also cutting its
prices and, although losing about $90,000 in income, began to diversify its product
line. In 1905, German bromide producers began dumping
bromides at low cost in the U.S. in an effort to prevent Dow from expanding
its sales of bromides in Europe. Instead of competing directly for market
share with the German producers, Dow bought the cheap German-made bromides
and shipped them back to Europe. This undercut his German competitors. Even in its early history, Dow set a tradition of
rapidly diversifying its product line. Within twenty years, Dow had become a
major producer of agricultural chemicals, elemental chlorine, phenol and
other dyestuffs, and magnesium metal. During World War I, Dow Chemical supplied many war
materials the United States had previously imported from Germany. Dow
produced magnesium for incendiary flares, monochlorobenzene and phenol for
explosives, and bromine for medicines and tear gas. By 1918, 90 percent of
Dow Chemical production was geared towards the war effort. At this time, Dow
created the diamond logo that is still used by the company. After the war, Dow continued research in magnesium,
and developed refined automobile pistons that produced more speed and better
fuel efficiency. The Dowmetal pistons were used heavily in racing vehicles,
and the 1921 winner of the Indianapolis 500 used the Dowmetal pistons in his
vehicle. In the 1930s, Dow began producing plastic resins,
which would grow to become one of the corporation's major businesses. Its
first plastic products were ethylcellulose, made in 1935, and polystyrene,
made in 1937. From 1940 to 1941, Dow built its first plant at
Freeport, Texas, in order to produce magnesium extracted from seawater rather
than underground brine. The Freeport plant is now home to Dow's largest site
– and one of the largest integrated chemical manufacturing sites in the world.
The site grew quickly – with power, chlorine, caustic soda and ethylene also
soon in production. Growth of this business made Dow a strategically
important business during World War II, as magnesium became important in
fabricating lightweight parts for aircraft. Based on 2002–2003 data, the Freeport plants (known
as Texas Operations internally) produced 27 billion pounds of product – or 21
percent of Dow's global production. In 1942 Dow began its foreign expansion with the
formation of Dow Chemical of Canada in Sarnia, Ontario to produce styrene for
use in styrene-butadiene synthetic rubber. Also during the war, Dow and
Corning began their joint venture, Dow Corning, to produce silicones for
military and, later, civilian use. The "Ethyl-Dow Chemical Co." plant at
"Kure's Beach" NC, the only plant on the East Coast producing
bromine from seawater, was attacked by a German U-boat in 1942. From 1951 to 1975, Dow managed the Rocky Flats Plant
near Denver, Colorado. Rocky Flats was a nuclear weapons production facility
that produced plutonium triggers for hydrogen bombs. Contamination from fires
and radioactive waste leakage plagued the facility under Dow's management. In
1957 a fire burned plutonium dust in the facility and sent radioactive
particles into the atmosphere. The Department of Energy transferred
management of the facility to Rockwell International in 1975. In 1990, nearby
residents filed a class action lawsuit against Dow and Rockwell for
environmental contamination of the area; the case was litigated in federal
court. In 2008 a federal judge ordered Dow and Rockwell to pay a combined
$925 million in damages to the plaintiffs. However, in September 2010, the
Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision. According to the
Appellate Court, the owners of the 12,000 properties in the class-action area
had not proved that their properties were damaged or they had suffered bodily
injury. The United States military dropped napalm bombs on
North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Dow was one of several manufacturers
who began producing the napalm B compound under government contract from
1965. After experiencing protests and negative publicity, the other suppliers
discontinued manufacturing the product, leaving Dow as the sole provider. The
company said that it carefully considered its position, and decided, as a
matter of principle, "its first obligation was to the government".
Despite a boycott of its products by anti-war groups and harassment of
recruiters on some college campuses, Dow continued to manufacture napalm B
until 1969. The USA continued to drop napalm bombs on North Vietnam until
1973. Agent Orange, a chemical defoliant containing dioxin, was also
manufactured by Dow in New Plymouth, New Zealand, and in the United States
for use by the British military during the Malayan Emergency and the U.S.
military during the Vietnam War. In 2005, a lawsuit was filed by Vietnamese
victims of Agent Orange against Dow and Monsanto Co., which also supplied
Agent Orange to the military. The lawsuit was dismissed. A major manufacturer of silicone breast implants,
Dow Corning (Dow Chemical's Joint Venture with Corning Inc.) was sued for
personal damages caused by ruptured implants. On October 6, 2005, all such
cases pending in the District Court against the company were dismissed. A
number of large, independent reviews of the scientific literature, including
the Institute of Medicine in the United States, have subsequently found that
silicone breast implants do not cause breast cancers or any identifiable systemic
disease. Union Carbide became a subsidiary of Dow Chemical in
2001. The Bhopal disaster of 1984 occurred at a pesticide plant owned by
Union Carbide India Ltd., a subsidiary of Union Carbide, 17 years before Dow
Chemical Co.'s acquisition. A gas cloud containing methyl isocyanate and
other chemicals spread to the neighborhoods near the plant where more than
half a million people were exposed to it. More than 27 years after the event,
the actual number of fatalities is still unknown. The official immediate
death toll was 2,259 and the government of Madhya Pradesh has confirmed a
total of 3,787 deaths related to the gas release. Others estimate 3,000 died
within weeks and another 8,000 have since died from gas-related diseases.
There are wide variations in the estimated number of individuals permanently
disabled by the event. By one independent estimate, 40,000 individuals were
left permanently disabled, maimed, or suffering from serious illness as a
result of the disaster. A government affidavit in 2006 stated that the leak
caused 558,125 injuries, including 38,478 temporary partial injuries and
approximately 3,900 severely and permanently disabling injuries. Union
Carbide was sued by the Government of India and agreed to an out-of-court
settlement of US$470 million in 1989. In 2010 eight former executives of
Union Carbide India Ltd. were found guilty of death by negligence. Activists
sought to have Dow Chemical held responsible for the ongoing cleanup of the
site, now under the control of the state government of Madhya Pradesh. Until the late 1970s, Dow produced DBCP
(1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane), a soil fumigant, and nematicide, sold under
the names the Nemagon and Fumazone. Plantation workers who alleged that they
became sterile or were stricken with other maladies subsequently sued both
Dow and Dole in Latin American courts. The cases were marred by extensive
fraud, including the falsification of test results and the recruitment of
plaintiffs who had never worked at Dole plantations. While Nicaraguan courts
awarded the plaintiffs over $600 million in damages, they have been unable to
collect any payment from the companies. A group of plaintiffs then sued in
the United States, and, on November 5, 2007, a Los Angeles jury awarded them
$3.2 million. Dole and Dow vowed to appeal the decision. On April 23, 2009 a
Los Angeles judge threw out two cases against Dole and Dow due to fraud and
extortion by lawyers in Nicaragua recruiting fraudulent plaintiffs to make
claims against the company. At the beginning of August 1999, Dow agreed to
purchase Union Carbide Corp. (UCC) for $9.3 billion in stock. At the time,
the combined company was the second largest chemical company, behind DuPont.
This led to protests from some stockholders, who feared that Dow did not disclose
potential liabilities related to the Bhopal disaster. On April 12, 2007, Dow dismissed two senior
executives for "unauthorized discussions with third parties about the
potential sale of the company". The two figures are executive vice
president Romeo Kreinberg, and director and former CFO J. Pedro Reinhard. Dow
claims they were secretly in contact with JPMorgan Chase; at the same time, a
story surfaced in Britain's Sunday Express regarding a possible leveraged
buyout of Dow. The two executives have since filed lawsuits claiming they
were fired for being a threat to CEO Liveris, and that the allegations were
concocted as a pretext. On July 10, 2008, Dow agreed to purchase all of the
common equity interest of Rohm and Haas Co. for $15.4 billion, which equated
to $78 per share. The buyout was to be financed with equity investments of $3
billion by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and $1 billion by the Kuwait Investment
Authority. The purpose of the deal was to move Dow Chemical further into
specialty chemicals, which offer higher profit margins than the commodities
market and are more difficult to enter for the competition. The purchase has
been criticized by many on Wall Street who believe Dow Chemical overpaid
(about a 75 percent premium on the previous day's market capital) to acquire
the company; however, the high bid was needed to ward off competing bids from
BASF. The transaction to purchase the outstanding interest of Rohm and Haas
closed on April 1, 2009. On December 8, 2008, Dow announced that due to the
2008 economic crisis, it would accelerate job cuts resulting from its
reorganization. The announced plan included closing 20 facilities,
temporarily idling 180 plants, and eliminating 5,000 full-time jobs (about 11
percent of its work-force) and 6,000 contractor positions. In February 2013 a federal court rejected two tax
shelter transactions entered into by Dow that created approximately $1
billion in tax deductions between 1993–2003. In the stated opinion, the Court
termed the transactions "schemes that were designed to exploit perceived
weaknesses in the tax code and not designed for legitimate business
reasons." The schemes were created by Goldman Sachs and the law firm of
King & Spalding, and involved creating a partnership that Dow operated
out of its European headquarters in Switzerland. Dow stated that it had paid
all tax assessments with interest. The case was a lawsuit against the
Internal Revenue Service seeking a refund of the taxes paid. The case was
appealed to the 5th Circuit court, where Dow's claims were again rejected.
Dow has petitioned for an en banc hearing by the 5th Circuit, arguing that
the decision was contrary to established case law. In the fourth quarter of 2014, Dow announced new
operating segments in response to its previously announced leadership
changes. The company stated it would give further support to its end-market
orientation and increase its alignment to Dow’s key value chains – ethylene
and propylene. On March 27, 2015, Dow and Olin Corporation
announced that the boards of directors of both companies unanimously approved
a definitive agreement under which Dow will separate a significant portion of
its chlorine business and merge that new entity with Olin in a transaction
that will create an industry leader, with revenues approaching $7 billion. On December 11, 2015, Dow announced that it would
merge with DuPont, in an all-stock deal. The combined company, which will be
known as DowDuPont, will have an estimated value of $130 billion, be equally
held by the shareholders of both companies, and maintain their headquarters
in Michigan and Delaware respectively. Within two years of the merger's
closure, DowDuPont would be split into three separate public companies,
focusing on the agriculture, chemical, and specialty product industries.
Estimates are it would take up to two years for the tax-free split.
Shareholders of each company will hold 50% of the combined company. On
December 11, 2015, Dow and E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (“DuPont”)
entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended on March 31, 2017
(the "Merger Agreement") to effect an all-stock, merger of equals
strategic combination resulting in a newly formed corporation named DowDuPont
Inc. ("DowDuPont"). On August 31, 2017, pursuant to the terms of the
Merger Agreement, Dow and DuPont each merged with subsidiaries of DowDuPont
(the "Mergers") and, as a result of the Mergers, became
subsidiaries of DowDuPont (collectively, the "Merger"). Univar Inc. and The Dow Chemical Company Expand
Relationship to Include Exclusive Distribution of UCON Fluids and Lubricants Feb 15 18 Univar In. announced that it will expand its
relationship with The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) to include exclusive
distribution rights for UCON Fluids and Lubricants in North America. This
authorization for Univar will complement an already long-standing
relationship between Dow and ChemPoint.com Inc. Univar and Dow have enjoyed a
strong relationship that spans approximately seventy-five years of serving
customers in a wide-variety of industries. The combination of Univar and
ChemPoint representing this product line offers Dow market-leading
capabilities to help drive Dow’s growth. The Dow Chemical Company Presents at ARC Industry
