Zorluk: OrtaInflation Types, Price Indices (CPI, WPI), and Price Control Mechanisms

Below are four inflation concepts listed under Column-I and their economic descriptions under Column-II. Match each item in Column-I with its appropriate description in Column-II.

  • Demand-Pull InflationPrice increases driven by aggregate demand exceeding the economy's overall supply capacity.
  • Cost-Push InflationPrice increases resulting from supply disruptions and higher input costs like wages and raw materials.
  • StagflationPersistent rise in price levels accompanied by economic stagnation and elevated unemployment.
  • Suppressed InflationExcess demand pressures held back from open market price reflection due to administrative price controls and rationing.

Cevap

Demand-Pull Inflation matches with price increases driven by aggregate demand exceeding supply capacity; Cost-Push Inflation matches with price increases resulting from supply disruptions and higher input costs; Stagflation matches with persistent rise in price levels accompanied by economic stagnation and elevated unemployment; Suppressed Inflation matches with excess demand pressures held back from open market price reflection due to administrative price controls.
Demand-pull inflation occurs when aggregate demand outpaces aggregate supply. Cost-push inflation is driven by increased input costs reducing aggregate supply. Stagflation is the simultaneous presence of economic stagnation (low growth, high unemployment) and rising inflation. Suppressed inflation refers to underlying inflationary pressures that are prevented from showing in official indices due to government price ceiling enforcement or rationing.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify Demand-Pull Inflation definition
Matches with description of aggregate demand outstripping aggregate supply capacity.
Demand-pull inflation arises when total demand expands faster than the economy's potential production capacity.
2
Identify Cost-Push Inflation definition
Matches with description of supply disruptions and increased production input costs.
Cost-push inflation is driven by supply-side shocks that raise production costs such as wages or crude oil.
3
Identify Stagflation definition
Matches with description of persistent inflation alongside economic stagnation and high unemployment.
Stagflation combines economic stagnation (sluggish growth and unemployment) with price inflation.
4
Identify Suppressed Inflation definition
Matches with description of excess demand restrained by administrative price controls and rationing.
Suppressed inflation occurs when government price caps prevent prices from rising to market-clearing levels.
