问题如下:
Central banks would typically be most concerned with costs of:
选项:
A.
low levels of inflation that are anticipated.
B.
moderate levels of inflation that are anticipated.
C.
moderate levels of inflation that are not anticipated.
解释:
C is correct.
Low levels of inflation has higher economic costs than moderate levels, all else equal; unanticipated inflation has greater costs than anticipated inflation.
考点:Inflation
解析:未预期到的通胀是更不好的,它会导致债务双方的间财务利益的再分配,减少价格信息的有效性,带来意向不到的后果,所以这题选C。
低通胀的的经济运行成本也更高,它意味着一国当局不能刺激经济。但与此同时,未预期的通胀带来的成本也更大。
低通胀和没有预期到的通胀更应该关注未预期到的通胀,这题可以当作结论记忆。
Low levels 和unanticipated 成本都高,为什么moderate unanticipated 比low anticipated 更高?
