Answer to Question 1

The Keynesian revolution is the name given to the widespread acceptance during the 1930s and 1940s of John Maynard Keynes's macroeconomic model.

Answer to Question 2

Downsian policy convergence is likely to occur when the Median Voter Theorem applies and there is perfect political competition. There will be policy convergence among parties (or political candidates) competing for office: the parties will all run for office on a platform offering to implement the policy that is the political bliss point of the median voter. This policy convergence result was first noted by Anthony Downsand is sometimesreferred to as Downsian policy convergence.
