Summary of Major Classical Ideas
1. The economy is always close to or on its PPF. PL
2. There is no involuntary unemployment, meaning that
anyone who wishes to work can work at the going wage.
The economy is always close to or at full-employment.
YF
3. What output is produced will be demanded. Since the output
of an economy is the full-employment output, this implies that there
will be enough spending to purchase the full-employment.
4. Overall, the Classical economists believed that the market
economy is a self-adjusting mechanism that stabilizes itself at FE output.
This position rested on a foundation composed of:
A. Say’s Law, [“the supply (sale) of X creates the demand (purchase) of Y”]
B. Interest Rate Flexibility. “The leakage down the drain of saving is
returned through the spigot of investment.”]
C. Price Flexibility. [Cheaper prices = more AQD]
D. Wage Flexibility. [Lower wages = more workers being hired]
E. Quantity Theory of Money.

2. Savings(leakage)=investment(injection)
This is so because of “interest rate
flexibility.” The interest rate is the cost
of borrowing. The interest rate alone
determines the level of investment.
“A leakage down the drain o
of saving is returned through
the spigot of investment.”
Investment depends on profit
expectations, tech. changes,
innovation, and interest rates.
2. Savers and investors are two
completely different groups who
save & invest for different reasons.
Saving is more related to income
than the interest rate. Investment
is more responsive to business
expectations, technological chgs,
& innovations than to changes in
the interest rate. [Gr. Depression]
“We save for down payments for cars
and houses, retirement, college,
illness, and a rainy day fund.”

3. Savings increase with the
interest rate. Savers save
more at higher interest rates.
So, this is a direct relationship.
3. Savings are inverse to the
interest rate. You don’t have
to save as much at higher
interest rates to get the same
amount of money.
Repeat quote from previous slide:
“A leakage down the drain of A retirement goal of $100,000
saving is returned through the by the time you are 65 will

than at 6%.
So again, savings [& consumption]
are a function of income, not
the interest rate.
“more consumption
and more saving”
More investment

5. AS=AD at FE equilibrium.
There is no involuntary unemployment. The economy will
naturally equilibrate to FE.
If you are unemployed, you
can always work at a lower
wage but prices have dropped.
Abnormal circumstances, like
wars or droughts, could prevent
full employment temporarily.
Adjustments within the market
system should restore the
economy to full-employment.
“In the long run, the
economy will correct.”
Keynesians
5. There is no mechanism
capable of guaranteeing full
employment. The classical
argument that wage and price
flexibility will ensure full
employment is thus flawed
by the fallacy of composition.
One market, like autos, might
adjust, but markets in the rest
of the economy may not
adjust at the same time.

we are all dead.”

The “Wealth of Nations” was their Bible. Reigned supreme until Gr. Depression.
1. Say’s Law: Supply Creates Demand (centerpiece). People’s supply
of goods they produce will buy what they need. In a money economy,
interest rate flexibility insures that Say’s Law still holds. Although
people may save more, lower interest rates mean business will invest more.
2. Saving = Investment. “A leakage down the drain of saving would be
returned to the tub through the spigot of investment.” The interest rate
connected the drainpipe and the spigot.
3. Price-wage flexibility - Competition ensures price flexibility. With falling
prices, workers would accept lower wages and more would be hired.
Keynes focused much of his attack on the price-wage flexibility theory.
4. Involuntary unemployment was impossible.
Although wages would drop, prices had also, so your
purchasing power would be about the same.
OK, I’ll take this lower paying job
because with lower prices I can buy
the same things.

Adam Smith
The Great Depression was a “collision of theory and fact.” Classical
economists kept saying, “In the long run, it will work itself out.” Keynes
replied, “In the long run, we are all dead.” “General Theory” was their Bible.
1. The economy seldom has full employment. Saving and
investment decisions may cause recessions. Using G & T, Keynes came
up with Keynes’s Law, “Demand Creates Its Own Supply.”
2. Prices and wages tend to be inflexible downward.
3. More saving does not equal more investment.
The interest rate does not connect the saving drain to the
investment spigot. Savers and investors save and invest for
different reasons.
Lower Interest Rates Mean You Need More Money.
Investment needed to provide $1,000 lifetime monthly income.

(measure of average output)
How many outputs can be obtained from a certain
amount of inputs.
Productivity [4] =
real output (20 units)
Inputs (5 units)
An increase in productivity means more real output can be
obtained from the same inputs.
Does productivity alter per unit production cost? (If output is
20 units, input quantity is 5 units, and price of each input is $2)
Total input cost($10)[$2x5]
Per unit production cost [.50] =
Units of output (20)

3. Appreciation/depreciation of a currency [either AD or AS]
a. Resource cost is part of REP, so it is AS shifter.
b. Exports are part of C+Ig+G+Xn, so it is AD shifter.
4. Regulations and subsidies [legal-institutional
Environment], part of REP, so they are AS shifters.
5. For all C+Ig+G+Xn, does the situation result in
an increase or decrease in AD & therefore GDP?
6. For REP, think of production costs –
if producers make more money, there is an increase in AS,
if producers make less money – there is a decrease in AS.
“Chg in AQD”
“Chg in AD”
1. Price level changes cause
(shifts of the AD or AS curve/movements
from one point to another on a stable AD or AS curve[changes in AQD or AQS].
2. What 3 effects cause an increase or decrease in AQD?
Foreign purchase
Interest Rate
Real-balance ___________________,

effects.
change in price level
3. What will not shift the AD or AS curves? ________________
4. How does a decrease in price level affect the: real value of
wealth? (increase/decrease); consumption? (incr/decr); &
increases/decreases) (AD/AQD).
5. What does an increase in price level do to the demand for
money? (increase/decrease); affect interest rates? (incr/decr);
affect consumption? (incr/decr); & incr/decr) (AD/AQD).
6. A decreasing U.S. price level (incr/decr) U.S. exports and
(increases/decreases) (AD/AQD).
7. An increase in the national incomes of our trading partners
(incr/decr) our net exports which will lead to an (incr/decr)in (AD/AQD).
8. An appreciation of the dollar will (incr/decr) AS but (incr/decr) AD.
A depreciation of the dollar will (incr/decr) AS but (incr/decr) AD.
9. If the interest rate decreases because price level decreases
we will have an (increase/decrease) in (AD/AQD).
10. If the interest rate decreases but price level remains constant
we will have an (increase/decrease) in (AD/AQD).
11. If the PPC shifts out (more resources or technology), then
the (AD/AS) curve shifts (right/left).
12. Productivity (is/is not) affected when resource cost decreases.
