Inflation in the United States (US)

Prices are rising much faster than expected across the world's economies, including the US. As the US economy has grown, the prices of goods and services have substantially increased. The US economy is forecast to grow by 7.4% in 2021, with consumer spending rising by over 10% per year, but this boom has been accompanied by a rapid increase in the inflation rate.

The US inflation rate was 1.7% in February 2021. By the end of that year it had been expected to be 1.9%, but by June 2021 the rate was already 5.4% compared with 12 months before. This is the highest rate of inflation in the US since August 2008.

Rising inflation in the US has two main causes. The first cause is a substantial increase in the demand for consumer spending on goods and services. The economy has also been boosted by the US government’s economic stimulus package in response to the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020 and 2021, the US government spent an additional US$6 trillion, leading to a budget deficit of 12.7% of gross domestic product (GDP) in June 2021, one of the largest budget deficits in the world.

The second cause of increasing inflation in the US is significant disruption to the supply of many goods as a result of the pandemic, a problem worsened by disruption to global shipping created by the temporary blocking of the Suez Canal. There are now long-term supply shortages for a wide range of products from semiconductors to timber. The cost of shipping goods has also become more expensive; for example, the cost of shipping goods from China to the US has tripled over 12 months.

A sustained increase in inflation could have a number of consequences, both negative and positive. Rising inflation could lead to a tightening of monetary policy, such as through an increase in interest rates. This is important in the US given that the government is targeting an annual inflation rate of 2%. Some economists believe that interest rates in the US may need to rise from 0.25% to as high as 4.50% to ‘cool’ the economy and reduce the rate of inflation and that this is likely to happen sooner rather than later.

美国的通货膨胀


  包括美国在内的全球经济体的价格上涨速度远超预期。随着美国经济的增长,商品和服务的价格大幅上涨。预计2021年美国经济将增长7.4%,消费者支出每年增长10%以上,但这种繁荣伴随着通货膨胀率的快速上升。

  2021年2月,美国通货膨胀率为1.7%。到当年年底,预计为1.9%,但到2021年6月,与12个月前相比,该通胀率已经达到5.4%。这是美国自2008年8月以来的最高通货膨胀率。

  美国通胀上升有两个主要原因。第一个原因是消费者对商品和服务支出的需求大幅增加。美国政府为应对COVID-19大流行造成的经济低迷而推出的经济刺激计划也提振了经济。2020年和2021年,美国政府额外支出6万亿美元,导致2021年6月的预算赤字占国内生产总值(GDP)的12.7%,是世界上最大的预算赤字之一。

  美国通货膨胀加剧的第二个原因是大流行导致许多商品供应严重中断,苏伊士运河暂时封锁造成的全球航运中断使这一问题更加严重。现在,从半导体到木材,范围广泛的产品都存在长期供应短缺的问题。运输货物的成本也变得更加昂贵;例如,从中国运往美国的货物成本在12个月内增加了两倍。

  通货膨胀的持续增加可能会产生许多负面和正面的后果。通胀上升可能导致货币政策收紧,例如通过提高利率。这在美国很重要,因为政府的目标是年通胀率为2%。一些经济学家认为,美国的利率可能需要从0.25%上升到高达4.50%才能“冷却”经济并降低通货膨胀率,而且这可能会早不宜迟。


题目1a    9708 m23 qp 22 1a.png
题目类型   图表分析
难度    容易

难度    中等 
考察知识点   monetary policy如何纠正inflation
解答要点   ● 本题以consider the extent开头,注意需要有evaluation的部分。
● 先讨论interest rate能够降低inflation的逻辑链。利率上升会提高cost of borrowing,这会减少人们的借贷,从而降低consumption和investment,AD下降,demand-pull inflation下降,通胀率降低。
● 再讨论interest rate可能无法降低inflation的特殊情况,比如consumer confidence或business confidence很高,消费和投资不会下降、消费或投资是interest inelastic(不得不消费或投资)、inflation还有其他原因(如原材料涨价、运输成本上升等)。
官方答案    9708 m23 qp 22 1c-MS.png
文字版备查   (c) Consider the extent to which an increase in interest rates could reduce the rate of inflation in the US. [4]

考察知识点   inflation的原因分析
解答要点   ● 本题以assess whether开头,注意需要有evaluation的部分。
● 先分析需求侧的原因,比如可能因为利率的下降、消费者信心提升等原因导致消费上升,AD增加,图像上AD右移,导致demand-pull inflation出现。
● 然后分析供给侧的原因,比如可能因为原材料价格上升、工资上升等原因,导致AS下降,图像上AS线左移,导致cost-push inflation出现。
● 注意画图分析。
● 最后讨论evaluation,比如讨论影响因素的主次、严重程度、弹性等。
官方答案    9708 m23 qp 22 1d-MS.png

● 通胀的好处包括borrowers的债务减轻、企业的工资压力减轻、鼓励生产等,对这些好处进行逻辑链阐述。
● 通胀的坏处包括出口减少带来current account deficit、menu cost、shoe-leather cost、lenders利益受损等,对这些坏处进行逻辑链阐述。
● 进行evaluation,可以考虑和国外的通胀进行比较、出口产品的弹性、通胀率大小、是否被预测等因素。
