Neoclassical Synthesis on Economic Policies - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 236f Economic Policies/Neoclassical Synthesis: on the assumption that both Keynesian economic theory and neoclassical growth theory are considered relevant, a rule-based economic policy is recommended. (1) This view was very widespread until the global financial crises in 2008. In the case of a large output gap, monetary policy should get active in the sense of the Taylor rule or the inflation control, and fiscal policy should accept cyclical government deficits or surpluses. By contrast, monetary and fiscal policy should be passive when the output gap is closed. In this case, economic policy should be limited to providing the institutional and regulatory framework for a positive development of production potential. (Output Gap: indicates the severity of an economic downturn.) Problem: it is difficult to distinguish between changes in actual output and changes in production potential. >Neoclassical economics, >Keynesianism, >Taylor rule, >Economic cycle, >Government debt, >Government budget. 1.
