2. A worker plans to retire at the age of 65 when he will start collecting his retirement benefits. There is a sudden change in inflation forecasting, and inflation is predicted to be higher than had been expected. Prices and wages are now expected to go up. What effect will this announcement have on the person's retirement age preference:
a. If his retirement benefits were fully adjusted for inflation?
b. If the retirement benefits were not fully adjusted for inflation?
