2. What will we learn?
Trying to integrate two quite different schools of thought
• New Classical vs Keynesian
• Classical micro-foundation, and excluding market failure
• Keynesian macro policy, and excluding micro-foundation
The development of the “New Neoclassical Synthesis”
• a system that involved the Classical model determining full equilibrium, and a Keynesian
model of temporarily sticky prices determining the approach to that full equilibrium
Short run issues: dynamics, expectations, and micro-foundations
Long run issues: natural unemployment rate, old and new growth theory
3. What will we learn? The applications
the Lucas critique of standard methods for
evaluating policy,
credibility and dynamic consistency issues
in policy design,
the sustainability of rising debt levels and
an evaluation of Europe's Stability Pact,
the optimal inflation rate,
the implications of alternative monetary
policies for pursuing price stability (price-
level vs inflation-rate targeting, fixed vs
flexible exchange rates),
tax reform (trickle-down controversies
and whether second-best initial
conditions ease the trade-off between
efficiency and equity objectives),
theories of the natural unemployment
rate and the possibility of multiple
equilibria,
alternative low-income support
policies, and globalization (including the
alleged threat to the scope for
independent macro policy).
4. Keynes and the Classic
Chapter 1
Makroekonomi 2
Abdul Hadi Ilman
5. Introduction
Keynesian view is that adjustment back to equilibrium simply does not take place
without policy assistance.
(i) the economy has multiple equilibria, only one of which involves "full" employment; or
(ii) there is only one equilibrium, and it involves "full" employment, but the economic system is
unstable without the assistance of policy, so it cannot reach the "full" employment equilibrium on
its own.
Stability vs outright instability
Chapter 1: Specification in the labor market, to clarify the cause of unemployment:
Perfectly flexbile money wages (Classical)
Completely fixed money wages (Keynesian)
6. Introduction
Chapter 2, we assume that nominal rigidities are only temporary, and we consider a dynamic analysis that
has Classical properties in full equilibrium, but Keynesian features in the transitional periods on the way to
full equilibrium
In Chapter 3, we enrich this dynamic analysis by exploring alternative ways of bringing expectations into
the analysis. we will have identified two important considerations that make macroeconomic convergence
more problematic: firms' reactions to sticky prices and sales constraints, and expectations.
In Chapter 4, we rectify one major limitation of the analysis to that point — that formal micro-foundations
have been missing. The intertemporal optimization that is needed to overcome this limitation is explained
in Chapter 4.
in Chapter 5, we examine the New Classical approach to business cycle analysis — the modern, more
micro-based version of the market-clearing approach to macroeconomics, in which no appeal to sticky
prices is involved.
Finally, in Chapters 6 and 7, we examine what has been called the "New" Neoclassical Synthesis — a
business-cycle analysis that blends the microeconomic rigour of the New Classicals with the empirical
applicability that has always been the focus of the Keynesian tradition and the original Neoclassical
Synthesis.
7. Criteria for Model Selection
Broad criteria for macro models
• First, models must be subjected to empirical tests, to see whether the predictions
are consistent with actual experience.
• Second, should be evaluated as to their consistency with optimizing
underpinnings. Microeconomics base
Frustrating debate in 1970s and 1980s between these two schools of thought
In 1990s, there were constructive dialogs to combine the best features of the
competing approaches so that now the subject is empirically applicable, has solid
micro-foundations, and it allows for market failure
8. Classical Economics
Economists:
Adam Smith( Scottish philosopher)
Alfred Marshall(British economist)
Arthur Cecil Pigou (British
economist)
David Ricardo (British economist)
JS.Mill
Malthus
CENTRAL PRINCIPLE
The economy is best organised as
a self-regulating system of
markets.
Known also as: laissez faire,
liberal, supply side
9. Classical Economics
Wages and prices are fully
flexible in order to clear
markets rapidly.
Economy operates at full
employment most of the time.
Classical aggregate curve is
vertical
Minimal govt intervention
reflecting distrust of
government and belief in its
inefficiency.
Unemployment in the economy
is either Voluntary or due to
some External Interference.
10. Keynesian Economics
Advocates:
• Francis Ysidro Edge Worth
• Jean-Baptist Say
• Paul Samuelson
• John Maynard Keynes
CENTRAL PRINCIPLE
The economy often operates at
less than full employment;
market system does not self
adjust.
Known also as: interventionist, demand side
11. Key Differences
IN THE CLASSICAL WORLD
• Free market economies are always stable
• Tending towards full employment & full production equilibrium
• Free fluctuating pricies in the three macro markets (Goods, money, labor)
IN THE KEYNESIAN WORLD
• Free market economies are unstable
• Equilibrium but no reason for full employment/full production
12. Classical Model
Assumptions:
Endogenous variables:
• Y, N, r, P, and W
Classical Dichotomy: the key real variables (output and employment) are determined solely on the basis of
aggregate supply relationships (the factor market relations and the production function), while the
demand considerations (the IS and LM curves) determine the other variables (r and P) residually
13.
14. Classical View on Unemployment
The labor &the other resources are always fully employed.
General unemployment is assumed to be impossible.
If there is any unemployment, it is assumed to be temporary/ abnormal.
In the long run the economy will have full employment/natural rate of
unemployment if wages & prices are flexible
15. Classical’s Reason for Full Employment
Say’s law: Supply creates its own demand.
Abstinence theory of interest: Interest rate influences people’s saving.
Classical theorists held that wages & prices would change proportionally
Graphically the pure classical theorists would have a vertical AS curve. That shows
the same GDP associated with full employment, at each level in the economy.
16. Classical’s Reason for Unemployment
Intervention by the
government/private
monopoly.
Wrong calculation by
entrepreneurs & inaccurate
decisions
Artificial resistance
• Classical unemployment occurs when real
wages are kept above the market clearing
wage rate, leading to a surplus of labor
supplied
• Classical unemployment sometimes known
as real wage unemployment. Because it
refers to real wages being too high.
17. Keynesian Economics
Markets clear only slowly, if at al
In a depression or recession, much
employment is involuntary.
Economy operates less often than full
employment, since market don’t clear
Govt intervention may be desirable to
stabilize the business cycle. (Fiscal and
monetary policies)
Demand becomes much
bigger driving force
Supply will adjust to
demand
According to Keynes;
Demand creates its own
supply”
18. Keynesian policy Implications
Under the classical system, government had no role in management of
the economy- “Laissez faire” do nothing.
Under Keynes, Government must step into to correct instability of the
economy.
• If the economy faces recessionary gap, govt must increase demand by spending
more; lowering taxes;lowering interest;
• If the economy faces an inflationary gap, govt must reduce demand by spending
less; raise taxes; increase interest rate;
19. Keynesian’s view on Unemployment
Keynesian theory holds that unemployment is the normal state of the economy &
significant government intervention is required if employment/output targets are to
be reached
• Central Keynesian conclusion:
• AD determines real GDP
• In short run, AD can be adjusted to achieve target GDP & unemployment levels
with prices not changing (fixed, flat price)
20. Conclusion
Unemployment can exist only in the presence of some stickiness in money wage.
Should we advocate increased wage flexibility so as to avoid at least some
unemployment?
• Micro view: private agents must have adopted the institution of temporarily rigid
wages (contracts) for a reason and that reason must be understood before one
can be confident that increasing wage flexibility is "good."
• Macro view: the microeconomic costs of increased flexibility would not be large
and, therefore, directly proceed with a macroeconomic analysis -of whether the
built-in stability of the overall economy is enhanced by wage flexibility
