1.What is your understanding of the neo-Keynesian perspective? How does it differ from the neoclassical perspective? What do neo-Keynesian economists view as the most important policies to address the challenges of climate change?

Neo-Keynesian perspective is based on maintaining the economic growth through investments, governments and consumers spending. Neo-Keynesian focuses more on the demand side rather than the supply-side because they believe that the increase of consumer demand will result in the increase of investment, aggregate demands, and more spurs of government growth. While neoclassical mainly focus on the prices and products through supply and demand. Neoclassical economists main principals are economic with grow if scarce resources are being used and meeting people’s needs. Supply should equal demand. Neo-Keynesian’s thoughts about climate change are that they want new regulation and a level playing field of low and high carbon energy sources
