Abstract: Abstract As is well known, the New Consensus Macroeconomic (NCM) can be characterized as an extension of the New Keynesian Theory. The New Keynesian Theory was developed in the 1980s and aimed at presenting a theoretical framework to explain what the New Keynesians believe to be the essential aspect of Keynes’s General Theory: the existence of price and wage rigidities. For instance, according to Mankiw and Romer (1991, p.1), ‘[b]ecause wage and price rigidities are often viewed as central to Keynesian economics, much effort was aimed at showing how these rigidities arise from the microeconomics of wage and price setting’.
