    It assumes the economy tends to operate at potential GDP, meaning full employment and full use of resources.
  • How does the new classical model view the flexibility of wages and prices?
    It views wages and prices as flexible, able to adjust quickly to changes in supply and demand.
  • What is the main difference between the Keynesian and new classical models regarding price and wage adjustment?
    The Keynesian model sees prices and wages as sticky, while the new classical model sees them as flexible.
  • What is the concept of rational expectations in the new classical model?
    Rational expectations means firms and workers make decisions based on their expectations of future economic variables, especially inflation.
  • How do discrepancies between expected and actual inflation affect the economy in the new classical model?
    They can lead to shifts in the short run Phillips curve, impacting both inflation and unemployment rates.
  • What policy does the new classical model support to help form accurate inflation expectations?
    It supports a monetary growth rule, advocating for steady increases in the money supply.
  • Why does the new classical model advocate for a steady growth rule in the money supply?
