I inferred you are to the 2017 TEDx talk "Short-termism is killing us: it's time for Long path" by Ari Wallach.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Wallach, he refers to short-termism as focusing on short-term results at the expense of long-term interests.

In his words, short-termism is a problem because;

  • "it prevents the CEO from buying really expensive safety equipment"
  • "prevents teachers from spending quality one-on-one time with their students".

So in summary what Wallach is saying is that short-termism prevents futuristic thinking.

According to Keynesian business cycle​ theory, A. inflation is procyclical and leading. B. the procyclical movement of investmen
TEA [102]

Answer: D. the procyclical behavior of labor productivity occurs due to​ firms' labor hoarding practices.

Explanation:

Keynesian Economists argue that firms practice labor hoarding which is the practice of keeping workers when they should not such as when there is a Recession. They should not keep these workers because demand has slowed so keeping them means that they will not be producing to meet the demand.

The procyclical behavior of labor productivity means that labor productivity goes by the Business Cycle in that it is high when the Economy is booming and low when it is in a Recession.

Productivity is calculated by dividing goods produced by the number of labor producing them.

By refusing to fire workers during a Recession, there will be too many workers producing too few goods which will decrease labor productivity which is why according to Keynesian Economists, the productivity is low in Recessions.

Cost-push inflation is A. inflation caused by increases in aggregate demand that are not matched by increases in aggregate suppl
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

C. inflation caused by decreases in aggregate supply that are not matched by decreases in aggregate demand

Explanation:

Inflation occurs when the cost of a basket of goods increases over a period of time. The purchasing power of money is reduced. It is characterised by low supply and high demand.

There are two drivers of inflation: cost push inflation and demand pull inflation.

Cost push inflation results when there is an increase in cost of production of goods and services.

This reduces the amount of goods supplied and increases their price.

Demand does not reduce in this scenario, so reduced supply does not match the excess demand.

On the other hand demand pull inflation occurs when there is increased demand for goods and services. Supply cannot meet the increased demand
