The answer is 1 – Keynesians believe the long run aggregate supply can be upwardly sloping and elastic. They argue that the economy can be below the full employment level, even in the long run. For example, in recession, there is excess saving, leading to a decline in aggregate demand. Keynesians also believe wages and prices can be sticky, and therefore, economies don’t automatically return to full employment equilibrium.
