Abstract

This paper reexamines the fundamental difference between the Keynesian and classical theories from both static and dynamic perspectives. It is shown that the rigidity of wages plays a pivotal role in the distinction between these theories in statics and that they can be differentiated in terms of long-run stability in dynamics.
