In other words, a relatively small amount of overinvestment is responsible for some $1.8 trillion in lost production every year. Given that the gap shows no signs of closing, and accounting for expected growth rates and equity returns, I estimate that the total loss to production will eventually reach nearly $3 quadrillion.
然而因此造成的损失却是巨大的。欧洲及北美各经济体比预期无危机的情况萎缩了6%。换句话说，相对少量的过度投资竟然导致了每年约1.8万亿美元的GDP损失。鉴于跌幅尚未出现收窄的迹象，我估计包括预期增长率和股本回报率在内，GDP总损失最终将达到近3000万亿美元。意味着每1美元的房地产市场过度投资会令世界经济遭受6000美元的损失。这是怎么回事？
