<h2>Joshua would lose and Sue would benefit from unanticipated inflation.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Both Joshua and Sue are associated with fixed pension and fixed interest respectively.
  • Now the value of money goes down due to inflation
  • So to live as usual, Joshua need to spend some extra money. But considering the fixed income, it's a lose to Joshua
  • Whereas Sue is associated with fixed interest of mortgage. She is benefited because, though the inflation has changed the value of all other products, but the fixed interest rate does not change.
  • "Fixed-rate mortgage holders are inflation winners", says "Thoma, professor of economics at the University of Oregon"

The efficiency wage theory states that if an employer increases the wage of his/her employees, they will be motivated and their productivity will increase. The increase in productivity should offset the increased labor costs. So the costs of higher wages should be recouped through increased productivity.
