Study Notes
Goods and Services Classification
- Final goods are ready for consumption and require no further processing. Examples are a car at a showroom or a finished meal at a restaurant.
- Intermediate goods are used as inputs or raw materials in the production process and undergo further transformation. Examples are steel used in car manufacturing, flour used in baking bread, and wood used in making furniture.
Stock and Flow Variables
- Stock variables measure quantities at a specific point in time. Examples are money in a bank account or inventory in a warehouse.
- Flow variables measure quantities over a specific period. Examples are income earned in a month or cars produced in a year.
Circular Flow Model
- Real flow (product flow) involves the exchange of goods and services between households and firms. Households provide factor services (land, labor, capital) to firms, which in turn provide goods and services to households.
- Money flow (income flow) involves the exchange of money between households and firms. Households receive factor payments (rent, wages, interest) for providing factor services, which they use to purchase goods and services from firms.
Two-Sector Circular Flow Model
- Assumptions:
- Only two sectors: households and firms
- No government
- Closed economy
- Households spend all income on goods and services
- In a two-sector model, saving is a leakage, and investment is an injection.
- Equilibrium occurs when saving equals investment.
Two-Sector Circular Flow Model with Financial System
- The financial system acts as a intermediary between saving and investment. Households save with financial institutions, which then lend money to firms for investment.
Three-Sector Circular Flow Model
- Includes households, firms, and government.
- Government collects taxes and provides services to both households and firms.
- Government spending on goods and services is an injection, while taxes are a leakage.
- Equilibrium occurs when savings plus taxes equals investment plus government spending.
Four-Sector Circular Flow Model
- Includes households, firms, government, and the external sector.
- The external sector interacts with the domestic economy through exports, imports, and financial transactions.
- Imports are a leakage, and exports are an injection.
- Equilibrium occurs when saving plus taxes plus imports equals investment plus government spending plus exports.
Significance Of The Circular Flow Model
- Helps in estimating national income.
- Highlights the interdependence between different sectors of the economy.
National Income Accounting
- National income is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country's domestic territory in a given year.
Gross vs Net Income
- Gross income is the total income before deducting depreciation.
- Net income is gross income less depreciation.
National Income at Market Prices vs Factor Cost
- National Income at Market Prices (NNP MP) includes indirect taxes and subsidies.
- National Income at Factor Cost (NNP FC) excludes indirect taxes and subsidies.
- NNP MP = NNP FC + (Indirect Taxes – Subsidies)
Different Aggregates of National Income
- GDP MP: Gross Domestic Product at market prices
- GNP FC: Gross National Product at factor cost
- NDP FC: Net Domestic Product at factor cost
- NNP MP: Net National Product at market prices
- NDP MP: Net Domestic Product at market prices
- NNP FC: Net National Product at factor cost
- National Disposable Income: National income less taxes
- Gross Disposable Income: Gross national income less taxes
- Personal Income: Income received by households and non-corporate businesses.
- Private Income: Income received by households and private firms.
- Personal Disposable Income: Personal income less taxes.
GDP at Market Prices (GDP MP)
- GDP MP is the market value of all final goods and services produced within the domestic territory of a country in a given year, including depreciation.
GNP and NFIA
- GNP: Gross National Product considers production by residents of a country both inside and outside its domestic territory.
- NFIA (Net Factor Income from Abroad): Earnings from residents' assets outside their country minus payments to non-residents for assets they own inside the country.
- GNP MP = GDP MP + NFIA
Net National Product at Market Prices (NNP MP)
- NNP MP is the total market value of final goods and services produced by residents of a country both inside and outside its territory, excluding depreciation.
- NNP MP = GNP MP - Depreciation
Net Domestic Product at Market Prices (NDP MP)
- NDP MP is the total market value of final goods and services produced within the domestic territory by all residents and non-residents excluding depreciation.
- NDP MP = GDP MP - Depreciation
Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost (NDP FC)
- NDP FC is the aggregate factor income earned by all factors of production (rent, wages, interest, profits).
- NDP FC = NNP FC - Depreciation
