欧洲经济形势看“巨无霸”汉堡价格就知道
<p>欧洲经济智库布鲁格尔的一位经济学家研究发现，欧元区各国的经济状况其实不用通过复杂的数据来判断，只要看看各国麦当劳“巨无霸”汉堡的价格就知道了。这位经济学家在2011年7月到2013年1月间对欧元区各国麦当劳“巨无霸”汉堡的价格研究发现，希腊、葡萄牙和西班牙的汉堡价格上涨幅度低于整个欧元区平均水平，而爱尔兰的汉堡价格则有所下降。与此相对的是，德国的汉堡价格上涨水平超过了欧元区平均水平。这位经济学家指出，由此可以看出各国采取的经济改革措施正在发挥作用。比如，爱尔兰接收国际援助后实行支出缩减政策，他们国家的汉堡价格从3.8欧元降至不到3.5欧元。而在负债相当繁重的意大利，汉堡价格却是欧元区最贵的，为3.85欧元，这说明他们的通货膨胀水平已经相当高，需要采取适当的措施了。</p><p><span word="Forget">Forget</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="statistics">statistics</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="employment">employment</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="industrial">industrial</span> <span word="production">production</span>, <span word="it">it</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="being">being</span> <span word="claimed">claimed</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="price">price</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="hamburger">hamburger</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="showing">showing</span> <span word="where">where</span> <span word="Europe">Europe</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="economic">economic</span> <span word="reforms">reforms</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="working">working</span> - <span word="and">and</span> <span word="where">where</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="not">not</span>.</p><p><span word="By">By</span> <span word="studying">studying</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="different">different</span> <span word="prices">prices</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="McDonald">McDonald</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="Big">Big</span> <span word="Mac">Mac</span> <span word="burger">burger</span> <span word="throughout">throughout</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="euro">euro</span> <span word="zone">zone</span> <span word="between">between</span> <span word="July">July</span> 2011 <span word="and">and</span> <span word="January">January</span> 2013, <span word="Guntram">Guntram</span> <span word="Wolff">Wolff</span>, <span word="an">an</span> <span word="economist">economist</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="think">think</span>-<span word="tank">tank</span> <span word="Bruegel">Bruegel</span>, <span word="found">found</span> <span word="evidence">evidence</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="struggling">struggling</span> <span word="countries">countries</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="Ireland">Ireland</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="tightened">tightened</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="belts">belts</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="others">others</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="not">not</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="price">price</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="Big">Big</span> <span word="Mac">Mac</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="used">used</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="The">The</span> <span word="Economist">Economist</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="decades">decades</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="partially">partially</span> <span word="tongue">tongue</span>-<span word="in">in</span>-<span word="cheek">cheek</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="judging">judging</span> <span word="global">global</span> <span word="currency">currency</span> <span word="valuations">valuations</span> - <span word="the">the</span> <span word="gist">gist</span> <span word="being">being</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="costs">costs</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="but">but</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="charged">charged</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="different">different</span> <span word="prices">prices</span> <span word="around">around</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="world">world</span>.</p>
