Answer to Question 1

The models that stress wage and price flexibility and rationality on the part of economic agents tend to favor passive policy making. If people can anticipate policy actions and if wages and prices are flexible, the economy will tend toward long-run equilibrium. Discretionary policies conducted by governmental policy makers will not be effective means of influencing real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
