Is one of these specifications more appropriate than the other? Explain, being careful to state the time horizon to which your answer applies.

A neoclassical economist and a Keynesian economist are studying the economy of Vineland. It appeals that Vineland is beginning to experience a mild recession with a decrease in aggregate demand. Which of these two economists would likely advocate that the government of Vineland take active measures to reverse this decline in aggregate demand? Why?
Explain why the short-run aggregate supply curve might be vertical in the neoclassical zone of the SRAS curve. How might we tell if we are in the neoclassical zone of the AS?
