问题如下:
What is the most important effect of labor productivity in a cost-push inflation scenario?
选项:
A.Rising productivity indicates a strong economy and a bias towards inflation.
B.The productivity level determines the economy’s status relative to its "natural rate of unemployment."
C.As productivity growth proportionately exceeds wage increases, product price increases are less likely.
解释:
C is correct.
For productivity, or output per hour, the faster that it can grow, the further that wages can rise without putting pressure on business costs per unit of output.
考点:cost-push inflation
解析:劳动生产率的提高其实是变相地降低了生产成本,不会引发成本型通胀,所以A选项不入选。
natural rate of unemployment. 是由多种因素共同决定的,不光是劳动生产率,所以B选项不入选。
如果工人劳动生产率超过了工资,那么商品的成本应该下降而不是上升,就不会引发成本推动型通胀,C选项入选。
A和C的结论不都是“不会产生成本推动inflation”吗?那为什么一个选一个不选?看了其他回答也没看懂
