Subject field(s)
  • Econometrics
  • Economic Fluctuations
  • Production (Economics)
CONT

The PBH, which is also known as Balassa-Samuelson Hypothesis(BSH), simply suggests [that] a country with high productivity growth also experiences high wage growth, which causes a rise in prices and consequently, the real exchange rate appreciates.

OBS

Partly because empirical findings have been mixed, and partly to differentiate the model from its conclusion, modern papers tend to refer to the Balassa–Samuelson hypothesis, rather than the Balassa–Samuelson effect.

CONT

La céruse est un pigment blanc, utilisé trés largement autrefois pour son haut pouvoir couvrant, ses qualités de protection contre l'humidité et son prix modique. Son usage a été interdit aux professionnels en 1913 et l'utilisation artisanale en 1948. La teneur en plomb de ses pigments est trés élevée (60 à 80 % sur peinture sèche), or la peinture à la céruse s'effrite en vieillissant et tombe en poussière en 50 à 80 ans.

OBS

Le nom chimique de la céruse est «bis(carbonate) dihydroxyde de triplomb».
