Explain why the equilibrium level of output (GDP) in the Keynesian system can be determined at the level of output that is below the full-employment level output whereas the equilibrium level of output in the classical system is determined at the full-employment level of output?
This because Keynesian model assumes that aggregate supply is flat which means that the interaction of AD and AS occurs at the Keynesian range. This results in an equilibrium level of GDP which is less than full employment.
On the other side, Classical model assumes that AS is vertical. This implies that AD intersects with AS when economy is at its full employment level. The resultant output is also the full employment level of output since economy always maintains the same.

The pre-Keynesian or classical economic theory viewed the long-run aggregate supply curve for the economy to be: a. vertical at the full-employment level of real GDP. b. positively sloped at the full-employment level of real GDP. c. horizontal at the full-employment level of real GDP. d. backward bending at the full-employment level of real GDP.
The long-run equilibrium level
of output is determined by (changes in the price level,
consumer demand, capital, labor, and technology);
Therefore it will (increase to a new equilibrium, remain at
the full-employment level, decrease to a new equilibrium)
if the aggregate demand curve shifts to the right.

a. Describe the short-run determination of equilibrium real GDP and the price level in the classical model. b. Discuss the essential features of Keynesian economics and explain the short-term aggregate supply curve.
Explain how output (GDP) is determined according to the classical model and how it is distributed among the factors of production according to the neoclassical model
[8] In Keynesian economics the most important factor determining whether the level of economic activity is growing or shrinking is: A) the multiplier effect. B) government expenditure and tax policies. C) the behavior of nonincome-determined spending. D) the relationship between leakages from and injections into the spending stream. [9] Using the Keynesian approach, if leakages from the spending stream are less than injections, the current level of output is: A) less than the equilibrium level of output, and will increase....
1. Assume the economy is in long-run equilibrium and AD decreases. According to the Keynesian Model, what will happen to the equilibrium level of GDP and the Price Level? Does the New (Modern) Keynesian Model say anything different will happen? 2. Assume the economy is in long-run equilibrium and AD decreases. According to the Classical Model, what will happen to the equilibrium level of GDP and the Price Level?
For each macroeconomic viewpoint, identify whether it is a position held by classical economists, Keynesian economists, or monetarists. If the viewpoint is shared by more than one group, check all that apply. Viewpoints Expansionary fiscal policy is either an unnecessary or ineffective response to a situation where output is below full employment. A decrease in aggregate demand will lead to only a temporary departure from full employment output. Because prices and wages are flexible, the economy will automatically adjust to...
According to classical economics: both real GDP and price level are determined by aggregate supply. both real GDP and price level are determined by aggregate demand. real GDP is determined by aggregate demand, while the equilibrium price level is determined by aggregate supply. real GDP is determined by aggregate supply, while the equilibrium price level is determined by aggregate demand. price level cannot be changed as prices and wages are perfectly rigid. All members of the Federal Board of Governors...
1. Explain why we can measure the GDP or output of a country by adding up either the market value of production in that country or by adding up the income earned by people in that country. (Helpful hint: Remember when I used the example in class about two shoemakers, one who can produce 4 pairs of shoes per day and another who can produce 5 pairs per day. All the pairs of shoes are identical in quality.) 2. What...
