Concept introduction:

New Keynesian Sticky Price Theory- New Keynesian theory of price stickiness is basically a counter of new classical theory’s assumption that prices and wages are flexible, helps in clearing the market by automatic adjustment. New Keynesian theory says that the prices are sticky and do not change in the short run. It is not economically feasible as well as politically practical to change price and wages in the short run.
