Many people believe that because wages are lower in developing countries than in developed countries, competition from developing countries in goods traded internationally will soon eliminate large numbers of jobs in developed countries.  Currently, developed countries' advanced technology results in higher productivity, which accounts for their higher wages.  Advanced technology is being transferred ever more speedily across borders, but even with the latest technology, productivity and wages in developing countries will remain lower than in developed countries for many years because developed countries have better infrastructure and better-educated workers.  When productivity in a developing country does catch up, experience suggests that wages there will rise.  Some individual firms in developing countries have raised their productivity but kept their wages (which are influenced by average productivity in the country's economy) low.  However, in a developing country's economy as a whole, productivity improvements in goods traded internationally are likely to cause an increase in wages.  Furthermore, if wages are not allowed to rise, the value of the country's currency will appreciate, which (from the developed countries' point of view) is the equivalent of increased wages in the developing country.  And although in the past a few countries have deliberately kept their currencies undervalued, that is now much harder to do in a world where capital moves more freely.


Question #57.

The passage suggests that if the movement of capital in the world were restricted, which of the following would be likely?


(A) Advanced technology could move more quickly from developed countries to developing countries.
(B) Developed countries could compete more effectively for jobs with developing countries.
(C) A country's average wages could increase without significantly increasing the sophistication of its technology or the value of its currency.
(D) A country's productivity could increase without significantly increasing the value of its currency.
(E) Workers could obtain higher wages by increasing their productivity.

    对于这个题，lz希望讨论什么？

我刚做完这道题 我是这样想的
首先定位在Furthermore, if wages are not allowed to rise, the value of the country's currency will appreciate, which (from the developed countries' point of view) is the equivalent of increased wages in the developing country
题目问 restricted的话会如何，
对应文章里说的是：
即使不涨工资但是流通货币会增值（即两者效用一样）
有些国家总是undervalued，但international让这些国家变得不可能undervalued了（总感觉在说我们国家，呵呵）

加上之前有说发展中国家的有些企业加产量不加工资的现象
所以可以综合理解为
产量会上升，流动货币不增值...

这是我滴想法，可能不一定对~
给你参考~~
一起加油吧~~
