Circular Flow Model & Business Cycle Model ***Back to Macro!***
Macro v. Micro Recap ***The line is not always clear, but here’s a general difference:
Basic circular flow model (‘closed economy’ - no gov’t) Rent, wages, interest, profit What are the four ? LAND, LABOR, CAPITAL, ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Rent + wages + interest + profit = Income for households In circular flow model, income = expenditure (output)
More complex circular flow model (‘open economy’ - gov’t, financial markets) Expenditures Expenditures Revenue
Could the circular flow change size depending on the relative size of injections and leakages? Yes!!!
