But what you say depends on what’s causing such prices to rise, doesn’t it?
Let’s say that suddenly the production of product X halts and the prices rise. You’d expect that once you start producing it en masse again, prices of that product would at least fall. But what we see in most of the world is that products didn’t get cheaper once supply chains started working again, arguably because of the phenomenon of price stickiness.
