All societies face a trade-off between equality and efficiency.

Business
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago

Answer: decrease in efficiency / increase in equality

Explanation: Efficiency and Equality are two economic terms used to define the distribution of a countries wealth or resources. Efficiency describes how a country aims to manage its resources in other to attain maximum output while equality describes equal distribution of a nation's wealth. In the scenario above, if the country raises income taxes on the wealthiest Americans while increasing welfare payment to the poorest, this shows an idea of redistribution of wealth so that income from the wealthy is transferred to the poor by reducing the profit of the wealthy and raising the income of the poor. Now, these has an effect on the efficiency of the economy, with increased incentive and payment being offered to the poor and a decrease in the profit made by the wealthy due to increased taxes. The desire to put maximum effort to work reduces on the path of both, hence leading to a decrease in production of goods and services hence, decrease in efficiency

Imagine that the U.S. economy has an initial unemployment rate equal to the natural rate of unemployment. Identify each event as
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Explanation:

Let’s explore one by one as proposed:

An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.

The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.

American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).

Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.

U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.
