1:Tough times do not suddenly prompt everyone to start a business.[...]112:The vast majority of people who reach working age during a downturn still look for a job.3:But research also suggests that recessions have lasting effects on how executives manage businesses.4:John Graham of Duke University and Krishnamoorthy Narasimhan of PIMCO, a bond manager, have found that chief executives who lived through the Depression tended to run companies with lower debt levels (leverage then went up when these Depression-era bosses retired).5:In a new study, Antoinette Schoar and Luo Zuo of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology show that companies run many years later by people who cut their teeth during bleak times, when money was tight and customers harder to find, are systematically different from those run by managers whose formative experiences date back to expansionary times, when credit and optimism were in ample supply.

1:艰难的日子并非突然促使每个人去创业。[...]112:在衰退时期，绝大多数处于工作年龄的人仍然会去寻找工作。3:但是有研究表明，衰退对管理层管理企业的方式有着持续的影响。4:杜克大学的约翰葛拉汉和太平洋投资管理公司（PIMCO）的债券经理Krishnamoorthy Narasimhan发现萧条期间的首席执行官倾向于以更低的债务水平运营公司（在大萧条时代的老板退休以后，公司的财务杠杆将会上升）。5:在一项新研究中，麻省理工学院（MIT）的安托瓦内特肖尔和佐罗（ Luo Zuo）发现，那些曾在黑暗时期（银根紧缩，客户难寻）创业的企业家管理多年的公司，与仅经历扩张时期（信贷充足，且对未来持乐观态度）的企业家的公司有系统性的差别。

1:Europe is more exposed.2:European countries, which tax oil more heavily than America, have typically seen a smaller impact on growth from changes in the oil price.3:But this time they may be relatively more affected, because most economies are already stagnant or shrinking.4:Worse, Europe’s weakest peripheral economies are also some of the biggest net importers (see chart 2).5:Greece, for instance, is highly dependent on imported energy, of which 88% is oil.[...]116:Even the price rises to date will worsen the euro-zone recession; a big jump could spawn a deep downturn and fracture the confidence of markets.

1:欧洲则无所遁形。2:欧洲各国比美国对原油征税重，他们早就看到过油价变化对经济增长的一些影响。3:这次他们可能会受到更大的干扰，因为很多经济体已经陷入了萎缩和滞胀。4:更糟的是，欧洲一些衰弱的外围经济体还是几个最大的原油净进口国（见图二）。5:比如说希腊，高度依赖进口能源，其中的百分之八十八都是石油。[...]116:即便是油价现在这个涨幅，也会使欧元区的衰退更加恶化；油价的一个大幅跃升可能酿成更深的衰退，同时也瓦解了市场信心。

[...]111:American firms were slow to react to the downturn at the beginning of the century, and paid the price.2:They learned their lesson.3:When the economy slumped in 2008, they were much quicker to adjust.4:There was little of the fall in labour productivity that normally accompanies a recession, and this was not just a one-off “batting average” effect (in which average productivity rises because the worst performers are fired).5:Rather, it was a productivity boost that has continued in defiance of expert predictions that workers can only be squeezed so hard for a short while.

[...]111:新世纪之初，美国企业在应对经济衰退时反应迟钝，并为此付出了代价。2:它们吸取了教训，更快地适应了2008年的经济大萧条，且劳动生产率也没有如往常随经济衰退而下降。3:这不只是一次性实现的“棒球击球率”效应（即平均分因得分最低的选手被淘汰而提升）。4:专家们认为这是一种依靠压榨产业工人在短时期内维持的经济增长模式。5:然而恰恰相反，这种增长是靠全力提升劳动生产率实现的。
