| 摘要 | How can we account for the discrepancy between standard measures of economic well-being—which suggest a trend of increased poverty—and alternative measures that indicate an upswing in prosperity? As Broda and Weinstein argue, product innovation has long been a key source of prosperity for American households. New and better household appliances, cellular phones, vehicle air bags, medicines, and computers are among the many product improvements that have benefited Americans, including the poor, over the past few decades. Yet current official price statistics capture only a portion of the benefits that these improved goods provide to American households. Broda and Weinstein conclude that adjusting poverty measures to fully account for the benefits of product improvements reveals that Americans in every income group are substantially better off economically than they were a quarter century ago.
Christian Broda is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.
David E. Weinstein is the Carl S. Shoup Professor of the Japanese Economy at Columbia University. |
