Classical Aggregate Supply Aggregate Demand (AS/AD) Model - Short Run and Long Run
EconplusDal・2 minutes read
Classical and Keynesian economics differ in their views on aggregate demand and supply, with the classical model emphasizing self-correction and the Keynesian model advocating for government intervention. The two models also disagree on the distinction between short-run and long-run equilibrium, impacting how they address scenarios like recession, inflation, and overheating in the economy.
Insights
- Classical and Keynesian economics present contrasting views on aggregate demand and supply, with the former emphasizing self-correction mechanisms in the long run and the latter rejecting the distinction between short and long-term effects.
- In the classical model, economic equilibrium is achieved through self-correction mechanisms in the long run without government intervention, while scenarios like recession or overheating are addressed through adjustments in wages to shift the short-run aggregate supply curve.
