Which of the following is a true statement? Multiple Choice Economists who support economic growth say that it is the most practical route to the higher standards of living that the vast majority of people desire. Most economists believe that the recent rise in the average rate of productivity growth implies an end to the business cycle. Most economists believe that increases in real GDP actually produce decreases in overall economic well-being because of spillover costs. Mainstream economists disagree as to whether the rate of productivity growth was higher between 1995 and 2010 or between 1973 and 1995.

00:03 Alright, it says which of the following statements is false.
00:06 So we're looking for something that is false.
00:09 So a, economic research suggests that having more options to choose from doesn't always result in people making better consumer decisions.
00:17 And you know, newer research especially shows that to be true.
