INFLATION that results from increased costs of production, including raw materials and labor. Higher production costs are priced into goods and services, leading labor to demand higher wages to meet the higher prices; the resulting rise in labor costs is also priced into the final goods and services, raising the overall rate of inflation. See also DEMAND INFLATION.
