I always thought it was more about differences in productivity between sectors. If the Baumol effect made service sector wages increase, would wouldn't ineffencies do the inverse?
It sounds like effenciencies in manufacturing sectors lead to more costly medical services, and ineffencies in manufacturing sectors lead to costly medical services. Am I understanding correctly?
William J. Baumol the namesake of the Baumol Effect[1]. Generally it is
> the tendency for wages in jobs that have experienced little or no increase in labor productivity to rise in response to rising wages in other jobs that did experience high productivity growth
Specifically, manufacturing sectors have increased productivity and service sectors haven't.
