Does deflation (falling prices) often occur? Not as often as inflation. Why?
If prices were to fall, the cost of resources must fall or firms would go out of business. The cost of resources (especially labor) rarely fall because: Labor Contracts (Unions) Wage decrease results in poor worker morale. Firms must pay to change prices (ex: repricing items in inventory, advertising new prices to consumers, etc.)
