A Simple Neoclassical ModelA Simple Neoclassical ModelAssumptionsAssumptions
Market economy with private property.Markets are fully competitive.All variables in the model are either endogenous, or exogenous and supplied.Initially, there is no government.Except when indicated, the general equilibrium assumptions obtain.Two kinds of individual agents exist in this economy — firms and households.

No agent suffers “money illusion;” therefore, the analysis is real, with the “price level” determined separately from the “relative prices.”Firms and households are each homogeneous. Therefore, we collapse the analysis to that of a single “representative firm” and a “representative household,” and aggregate to form the firm and household sectors.The commodities are also homogeneous, so that we consider a single commodity whose real quantity is “Y.” (Usually, we use “y” for real output, and “Y” for nominal. Therefore, the price of the commodity is the price level, “P.”There are three (3) markets in this economy:- Commodity Market- Labor Market- Capital Market (Loanable Funds or Bond Market)

The nominal wage is “w,” and the real wage is therefore “w/P.”The rate of interest (the price of capital) is “r.” (The convention is to use “i” for the nominal interest rate and “r” for the real interest rate. There are three factors of production— capital (K), labor (N), and land (L). These factors are perfectly homogeneous. E.g., all workers look the same (have the same productivity and skills).At times, we assume that some of these factors, L and sometimes K, are fixed. That is, K=K0 and L=L0. This leads to
Y = AF(K,L0,N) = AF(K,N) = F(K,N)= AF(K0,L0,N) = AF(N) = F(N)

The Firm Profit MaximizesThe Firm Profit Maximizes
The firm is profit- maximizing when these conditions are met.
Marginal Product of Labor = Real Wage
Marginal Product of Capital = Real Interest Rate
We begin with a representative firm: The firm’s profit function is π = PY – wN – Pr(K – K0)Maximize profit: Assume A=1, Y=F(N,K) and construct expressions for change in profit relative to changes in employment (N) and capital (K) and set to zero. Solve. First Order Conditions:
dπ = P(dY) – w dN = 0
dπ = P(dY) – Pr dK = 0
----------------------
dY/dN = w/P
dY/dK = r

Theory of DistributionTheory of Distribution
This is a theory of distribution. It explains how output is shared by the various agents. Workers (households) are paid according to what they actually contribute to the production process (on the margin). Capital is also paid according to its contribution (on the margin).
This implies that for the real wage of workers to rise (their real buying power to increase) while prices remain stable, real labor productivity must also rise.

Households OptimizeHouseholds Optimize• The representative household maximizes utility. • Since utility is assumed to result from consumption only, this turns out
to be the same as maximize real income. • If utility were maximized in a multi-period model, we would analyze the
intertemporal optimization choices associated with electing whether to consume now or later, with the disutility of foregoing current consumption offset by interest income on savings. In this single-period model, the intertemporal aspects of the decision making process are captured by the interest rate.
• This amounts to the abstinence theory of interest espoused by William Nassau Senior in the 1800s.
• People are thought to prefer current to future consumption, but a higher interest rate makes it more likely for households to choose to postpone consumption in favor of higher real consumption later as a result of interest income.

The theory: for a given level of output, the price level is proportional to the quantity of money.This theory is made explicit in the equation of exchange.

Velocity of CirculationVelocity of Circulation
The velocity of money is the average number of times per period (year) a unit of currency (dollar) is used in making a transaction.The velocity of money is governed by the nature and sophistication of the payments system in the society, and therefore changes slowly over time.The velocity of money is not related to any of the other variables in the model, so can be considered exogenous or fixed with respect to these equations.

The income velocity of money is the average number of times per period (year) a unit of currency (dollar) is spent in producing GDP (total economic activity).As with the transactions velocity of money:
The income velocity of money is governed by the nature and sophistication of the payments system in the society, and therefore changes slowly over time.The income velocity of money is not related to any of the other variables in the model, so can be considered exogenous or fixed with respect to these equations.

The Cambridge model is closer to a modern theory of money demand.Implies that people hold money even if they only have a transactions motive.Challenged by John Maynard Keynes.

If M = kPY, and k and Y are determined separately from money (M) and prices (P), thenM↑⇒ P↑. All else equal, inflation (rising prices) is caused by increasing the money supply.The price level is proportional to the money supply.

Effect on Output & Employment:– In the classical model, GDP and
employment are determined without any consideration of what the level of government spending is.
– Therefore, government spending has no impact on output or employment.

Effect if Taxes are not changed:– S = I + (G - T); the spending is bond financed.– If G = T before the increase in spending, if G↑
but T is unchanged, then G – T > 0.– The demand for loanable funds increases by (G
– T), shifting to the right.– r↑ leading to I↓ , S(r)↑ and C(r)↓. – It turns out that I↓ + C(r)↓ = G↑.– The increase resulting from increases in G is
just offset by decreases in I and C. Government spending crowds out private sector spending.

Effect if the spending is financed by money creation:– There is still no reason for output and
employment decisions to change.– AS (total output) does not change.– The AD curve will shift to the right as
the money supply is increased.– The price level will rise--inflation.

Piercing the VeilPiercing the Veil
Classical Economics is based on agents evaluating everything in real terms.Agents are thought to “pierce the veil of money” and make all decisions based upon the underlying reals.Agents seek to maintain their buying power (in real, after-tax terms) because they only work to buy (real) things.

Effects of Taxes and InflationEffects of Taxes and Inflation
In the face of inflation or income tax increases, they will:– Seek increases in nominal wages to
maintain their buying power, or– Reduce their supply of labor.
In the face of a income tax cut, or reduction of the price level, they will:– Increase their supply of labor.

If income taxes are cut,– Demand-side analysis:
• Tax revenues fall• Budget deficit occurs (G – T > 0)• New consumption is crowded out.
– Supply side analysis:• because
• Labor supply increases, increasing output.
