FLEXIBLE PRICES: The proposition that prices adjust in the long run in response to market shortages or surpluses.

In particular, flexible prices are the key reason for the vertical slope of the long-run aggregate supply curve. This proposition is also central to original classical theory of macroeconomics and to modern variations, including rational expectations, new classical theory, and supply-side economics.
