CAMBRIDGE – Last December, I speculated that GDP growth in the United States would rise in 2014 from the subpar 2% annual rate of the previous four years to about 3%, effectively doubling the per capita growth rate. Now that the US economy is past the impact of the terrible weather during the first months of the year, output appears to be on track to grow at a healthy pace.
美国剑桥—去年12月，我预测2014年美国GDP增长将从此前四年每年2%的平庸水平升高到3%左右，人均增长率几乎翻番。如今，美国经济战胜了今年前几个月的恶劣天气，产出似乎回归了健康增长的节奏。
