IB Economics Macroeconomic Models The New Classical Perspective
New Classical (Free Market) LRAS LRAS perfectly inelastic at Full Employment Level of Output (Ymax) Potential Output = Quantity and Quality of FOPs not Price
Keynesian SR/LRAS Segment 1: Spare capacity in the economy, LRAS perfectly elastic Segment 2: Spare capacity utilized, FOPs’ prices rise Segment 3: Economy at maximum capacity LRAS perfectly inelastic
Keynesian SR/LRAS • Keynes argued that as there is nothing inherent in the economy to move the SR into the LR, then SRAS = LRAS NB • In diagrams taking a Keynesian you may see the AS curve labeled Keynesian AS or simply LRAS as long as the diagram’s title makes clear which perspective is being adopted
