The debate among economists ordsprog
 With the fastest productivity growth and biggest drop in unit labor costs in seven years, the numbers are certainly worth shouting about, but as yet we are far from convinced that much of the improvement is structural. Mr. Greenspan is of the same view, which is why rates are going up no matter what happens to productivity growth. |
| [A more doctrinaire Fed chief wouldn't have allowed the economy to grow this fast, but Greenspan argued that technology was creating productivity gains that would allow rapid, inflation-free growth.] There were a lot of economists at the Fed who thought not tightening back then was very dangerous, ... The great accomplishment of the Greenspan Fed was recognizing that productivity growth would allow the economy to grow at a faster rate. |

| What we found was that more e-mails were being answered than previously -- 95% of all e-mails are answered from the travel industry, which is very high compared with other industries, where we typically see 75% answered. And last time, only about 91% were answered, so they're getting there. But the overall quality of e-mail responses has gone down a bit. We deemed about 68% of the e-mail responses were very helpful and relevant and addressed the question specifically, but that's gone down to just over 50%. Some companies have systems in place so they can answer questions well and they can answer them quickly, but what we've [generally] found is the quicker the response, the better the response. |
| After 1996, he recognized there had been a productivity change. [Stock prices] rose because people believed there was productivity improvement -- and there has been. The thing that turned out to be wrong was that productivity has not been profitable. |
| The argument for intelligent design basically depends on saying, 'You haven't answered every question with evolution,' ... Well, guess what? Science can't answer every question. |

| [The numbers] are clearly good news for the Fed, ... Strong productivity numbers raise the economy's speed limit and dampen inflationary pressures, lessening the magnitude of the rate increases that the Fed would have to implement. The key question, however, is: what level of productivity growth is reasonable to assume for the future? |
| I'm not going to say at this point that they have answered all the questions of the court. I haven't had time to digest everything they have done. |
