Introduction
 Keynesian Economics is a macroeconomic theory based on
  the ideas of the 20th century economist John Maynard
  Keynes

 He provided the framework for synthesizing a host of
  economic ideas present between 1900 and 1940

 The theories forming the basis of Keynesian Economics
  were first presented in “The General Theory of
  Employment, Interest and Money”, in 1936
Advocacies
 Keynesian Economics advocates a mixed economy –
  predominantly private sector, but with a large role of the
  government and the public sector

 It argues that private sector decisions, sometimes, lead to
  inefficient macroeconomic outcomes

 Therefore, the Government and the Central Bank must
  exercise control with effective monetary and fiscal policies
Milestones
 Keynesian Economics served as the economic model
  during the latter part of the Great Depression, at the end of
  World War II, and during Capitalism (1945 – 1973)

 This theory is somewhat of a middle way between laissez-
  faire, capitalism and socialism

 During the recent economic crisis, this theory provided the
  underpinnings for the plans to rescue the world economy
Overview
 In Keynes’ theory, some micro-level actions of individuals
  and firms can lead to aggregate macroeconomic outcomes,
  where the economy operates below its potential output and
  growth

 Keynes contented that the aggregate demand for goods
  might be insufficient during economic downturns

 This may lead to unnecessarily high unemployment and
  loss of potential output
Solution
 According to Keynes, the solution to depression is to
  stimulate the economy

 Induce investments through a reduction in interest rates
  and government investment in infrastructure

 These steps would, in general, result in more liquidity in
  the system, leading to increased demand and production
  ( the initial investment leads to a cascade effect )
Neo-Keynesian Economics
 Neo-classical theory supports that the two main costs that
  determine the demand and supply are – labour and money

 Through the distribution of monetary policy, demand and
  supply can be adjusted

 If labour is more than the demand, then wages would fall
  until hiring began again
 If there is too much saving, then the interest rates would
  fall until people cut their savings rate or started borrowing
Wages and Spending
 The high unemployment during the Great Depression was
  due to high and rigid real wages

 Keynes argued that – it is the nominal wages that are
  negotiated between the employers and employees

 People will resist any nominal wage reductions, until they
  see other wages falling and a general reduction in prices
Wages and Spending
 Real wages can be reduced in two ways :


     - Nominal wages can be reduced
     - Price level can rise

 However, reduced wages can lead to reduced aggregate
  demand, making the situation worse
 Similarly, when prices are falling, people would expect
  them to fall further
Say’s Law
 If the expansion of
  aggregate demand leads to   P
                                  AD   AS
  higher employment, then
  prior to the expansion
  involuntary
  unemployment must have
  prevailed.
                                        yf   y
 This amounts to a
  refutation of Say’s Law
  based on asymmetry of
  wage and price responses.
Some Accounting
Assume a closed economy:
• Output = Aggregate Expenditure = National Product
               Y = E = C + I + G = C + Ir + G
• But Y is also income, and from income we purchase
consumer      goods (C), save (S), or pay taxes (T), so
                       Y=C+S+T
• So that
                   C+S+T=C+I+G
                              Or
                       S+T=I+G
• Which means that saving and taxes paid by the public
must   finance investment and government spending.

Excessive Saving
 Excessive savings (i.e.. savings beyond planned
  investments), could encourage recession

 Excessive savings are the result of falling investments, over
  investments in earlier years, or pessimistic business
  expectations

 If savings did not fall immediately in step, then the
  economy would decline
Explanation
Assume that fixed investment falls :

i. Saving does not fall as much as the interest rates fall
ii. Planned fixed investments are made on long-term
     expectations, spending does not rise as much as the
     interest rates fall
iii. The supply of and demand for the money determines the
     interest rates, in the short run
iv. Excessive saving corresponds to unwanted accumulation
     of inventories, called “ general glut “
Fiscal Policy
 Keynes’ theory suggested that active government policy
  could be effective in managing the economy

 He advocated countercyclical fiscal policy – deficit
  spending (fiscal stimulus) when the nation’s economy is in
  recession

 The argument is that the government should solve
  problems in the short run
Plus Points
 This response should be adopted only when the
  unemployment rate is persistently high

 Here, “crowding out” is minimal, raising the business
  output, cash flow, profitability and business optimism

 Government spending on infrastructure would be
  beneficial in the long term
Multiplier effect
 Exogenous increase in spending, such as an increase in
      government outlays, increases total spending by a multiple of
      that increase

 Government could stimulate a great deal of new production if-


i.      The people who receive this money spend most on
        consumption, and save the rest
ii.     This extra spending allows businesses to hire more people, in
        turn increase consumer spending
Result
 This process is continuous


 At each step the increase in spending is smaller than in the
  previous step, thus reaching equilibrium

 The rise in imports and tax payments at each step reduces
  the amount of induced consumer spending and the size of
  the multiplier effect
Interest rates
 By this theory, the amount of investments was determined
  by long-term profit expectations, and less by the interest
  rates

 This facilitates the regulation of the economy through the
  monetary policy

 This approach would be effective during normal times to
  stimulate the economy
Main Theories
The two key theories of mainstream Keynesian economics are
 :

I.   The “ IS – LM Model “ of John Hicks

II. The “ Phillips Curve “
IS – LM Model
 It was with John Hicks, that Keynesian Economics
  produced a clear model to determine policy and economic
  education

 Aggregate demand and employment are related to three
  exogenous quantities :

i. The amount of money in circulation
ii. The government budget
iii. The state of business expectations
Phillips Curve
 Phillips curve indicated that decreased unemployment
  implied increased inflation
 Keynes had predicted that falling unemployment would
  cause a higher price, not a higher inflation rate

 The economist could use the IS-LM model to predict that
  an increase in money supply would raise output and
  employment
 Then use the Phillips curve to predict an increase in
  inflation
