Key Concepts

Circular Flow of Income

This concept represents the movement of money, goods, and services among different sectors of the economy, typically including households, businesses, government, and the foreign sector. It illustrates how income generated through production is distributed and spent, highlighting the interdependencies of different economic agents.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

GDP is a measure of the total market value of all final goods and services produced within an economy during a specific period. It is calculated using expenditure, income, or production approaches and serves as an indicator of an economy's overall size and health.

Net Exports

Net exports refer to the difference between a country’s exports and imports. This figure is a component of GDP in the expenditure approach, where positive net exports indicate a surplus and negative net exports indicate a trade deficit, reflecting a country’s international trade balance.

Disposable Income

Disposable income is the amount of money households have available for spending and saving after accounting for taxes. It represents income that can be used for consumption or saved, influencing overall economic demand within the circular flow framework.

Leakages and Injections

Leakages are the portions of income not spent on domestic goods and services, such as savings, taxes, and imports, which remove money from the economic cycle. Injections, such as investment, government spending, and exports, add money back into the economy. The balance between leakages and injections is critical for maintaining equilibrium in the circular flow of income.

Government Budget and Financing

This concept deals with the ways in which the government funds its expenditures. It involves the collection of revenues through taxes and borrowing or other methods, and it examines how the government manages its fiscal balance, which in turn affects disposable income, aggregate demand, and overall economic stability.
