2 · Recall · Medium · Neoclassical Perspective
Which macroeconomic school of thought holds that the economy self-corrects toward potential GDP in the long run and therefore advises against active policy to fine-tune the economy, given our limited understanding of how the economy works?
Tap an answer. The explanation will appear here, including why each wrong option is wrong.
Not quite. A is correct.
The neoclassical perspective holds that the economy gravitates toward potential GDP in the long run. Because policymakers have an imperfect understanding of the economy, it advises against attempts to fine-tune aggregate demand.

3 · Analysis · Hard · New Keynesian Economics
Explain how the concept of 'menu costs' accounts for large aggregate output fluctuations in New Keynesian models despite small individual adjustment costs.
Write your answer, then tap Show model answer. The model answer and marking points will appear here.
Compare with your answer.
Model answer. Menu costs refer to the small physical or administrative costs incurred by firms when changing their listed prices. For an individual firm with price-setting power, the profit lost from failing to change price after an aggregate demand shock is typically of second-order importance (small), so the firm is nearly indifferent between adjusting and leaving the price unchanged. Consequently, even modest menu costs cause firms to adjust prices infrequently and in a staggered manner across the economy. However, the aggregate consequence of this widespread price stickiness is a first-order effect: the overall price level adjusts sluggishly, causing shifts in aggregate demand to produce substantial swings in real output and employment. This divergence between small private costs and large macroeconomic effects is a core New Keynesian mechanism.
