The New Keynesian Economics
New Keynesian economics, is used in the new environment of modern macroeconomics. It is viewed as
a new concept evolved from Classic Keynesian Theory from microeconomics. However, I would describe
how the basic principles of the New Keynesian Economics and how it addresses perceived limitations to
Classic Keynesian theory. The New Keynesian Economics comes with the with two assumptions. Firstly,
that people and companies behave rationally and with rational expectations. Secondly, New Keynesian
Economics assumes a variety of market inefficiencies including sticky wages and imperfect competition.
We have learned that New Keynesian Economics is the reflection of original Keynesian theory or we can
state that it is a foundational building aspect of new modern insights of the theory. Now we will explore
that how it assumes a rational behavior and rational expectations. Further I can state that one of the
main assumptions of the New Keynesian Economics is that economics agents, the people and the
companies from their expectation rationally. We can also say that, people learn from their past
mistakes, their expectations are based on historical information and experiences. As forming
expectations regarding the future economic conditions, individuals use all information and the economic
concept and theories. The New Keynesian Economics recognizes that the market is not always perfectly
efficient, and assumes a variety of market imperfections which includes sticky wages and imperfect
competition. For example, employees’ wages don’t necessarily reflect company or overall economic
performance. Hence, wages are stickier downwards than upwards due to employee’s reluctance to
accept lower nominal pay. This stickiness can lead to involuntary unemployment. Imperfect competition
affects hoe a firm set prices and respond to fiscal policies differently within the same industry.
Certainly! The Classic Keynesian Theory has been influential in shaping economic thoughts but it faces
several perceived limitations. For example, price and wage stickiness is when New Keynesian economist
argue for prices and sticky wages, meaning that it adjusts more slowly to short-term economic
fluctuations. This is unlike Classical Keynesian that new thinking, which assumed rapid price
adjustments, the New Keynesian recognizes that these rigidities exist in the real world. We can state
that New Keynesian places greater emphasis on microeconomics foundation to explain macroeconomics
disequilibrium. It seeks to integrate microeconomic concepts to macroeconomic model. While Classical
economics assumes that perfectly efficient market, the Keynesian acknowledge market imperfections
and also Keynesian policies require active economic intervention.
Therefore, the modern economic thoughts, including New Keynesian, attempt to address some of these
issues while building on Keynes’s foundational ideas. These assumptions are based on all the old
concept of classic economics and provided through the new concepts of New Keynesian Economics
which is the modern version of classics concepts. What we call microeconomics in the new concepts of
macroeconomics the New Keynesian model. Keynes work yields the new concepts of macroeconomic
thoughts of Keynesian Model. The Keynesian economics upholds that changes in aggregate demand can
create gaps between the actual and potential levels of output, and that such gaps can be prolonged.
Keynesian economists stress the use of fiscal and of monetary policy to close such gaps.
