Which one of the following best depicts the effect of a ‘high base effect’ on inflation measurement? Inflation remains constant despite a significant drop in commodity prices. Inflation appears lower because the previous year experienced hyperinflation. Inflation rises steadily over several years without any significant economic changes. Inflation is unaffected by changes in the base year price levels. Explanation:The base effect refers to the impact of the price levels in the previous year (the base year) on the calculation of the current year's inflation rate. A high base effect occurs when the price levels in the base year were exceptionally high. When the base year had very high inflation or hyperinflation, even a relatively smaller increase in prices in the current year will result in a lower calculated inflation rate compared to the base year. This is because the base for comparison is already elevated due to the high inflation in the previous year. 4 / 5 4. The term “Karman line” was recently in news.
