CLASSICAL RANGE: The vertical segment of the Keynesian aggregate supply curve that reflects the independence of full-employment aggregate output (or gross domestic product) to the price level. Shifts of the aggregate demand curve in this range lead to changes in the price level, but not changes in aggregate output. Such results are consistent with classical economics, which is why this is termed the "classical" range. The other ranges of the Keynesian aggregate supply curve are the Keynesian range and the intermediate range.

PRICE CEILING: A legally established maximum price. The government is occasionally inclined to keep the price of one good or another from rising too high. Examples include apartments, gasoline, and natural gas. While the goal is invariably a noble one--like keeping stuff affordable for poor people--a price ceiling often does more harm than good. First, it usually creates a shortage, meaning that many of the buyers who being protected against high prices, can't even buy the good. Second, as a consequence of this shortage, a price ceiling is likely to generate a black market where the good is sold illegally above the price ceiling. See also | market | price | regulation | shortage | black market | price floor |
