Lower workforce could fasten the Fed's target of labour market
tightening and sudden wage build up and would increase nominal wage inflation
cost and lower real wages and increase nominal prices and lower real prices,
increase nominal interest rate and lower real interest rate and increase
nominal exchange rate and lower real exchange rate and increase unemployment
and lower employment, lower savings and investment, price and growth and
expectations... We have lower employment investment demand supply price and
growth expectations... Higher borrowing cost would further increase inflation…
Nonetheless, higher nominal exchange could increase exports, but at the cost of
domestic demand supply employment investment and growth and expectations…Since
past few years oil prices have shown less stubbornness and are still recovering
from an all time low of $ 26 per barrel on the back of big pathbreaking
innovation in the oil industry due to fracking or the Shale oil and gas, in the
US, the biggest guzzler of imported oil, not long back… The Shale revolution
has turned the tables overnight with the US’ stature of net oil importer to net
exporter… Nonetheless, its cost is higher that extracting oil in oil rich
countries, but, more investment at lower prices would reduce average cost and
help maximize economies (of scale)... Should dump capital to lower cost and
prices and increase market share... would also increase employment... Oil
importing countries, too…
Lower actual growth rate than Indian estimates might lower
expectations and employment and investment and the potential growth rate,
however the economy's potential growth on the labourforce participation every
year is 12 million or more, but the economy is adding only 1.2 million jobs
since past years, that needs more investment and lower borrowing cost and more
jobs and lower unemployment, when desired savings are more than desired
investment due to higher real interest rate or higher real effective interest
rate relative to others... However, the point is still that that the economy is
growing well below the potential and potential supply amid lower employment and
tight investment... culminating in lower warranted or projected or expected
growth rate... Employment is also directly related with national output, full
employment means full domestic investment and production and higher growth and
growth expectations… and more investment to lower prices and increase
productivity through higher supply… The assumption that the future will have
higher prices is against the observation of the developed world where inflation
has gone down due to lower borrowing cost and more competitiveness… The GOI
Fiscal Deficit target is shifting posts since last few years under higher
spending and debt by the State Governments... Government spending on capital
formation or infrastructure and construction could create alot more employment,
demand, inflation and lower real GDP or GVA... because it is unskilled
employment intensive... if it does not increase supply...
