Study Notes
- The Five-Sector Model illustrates the flow of money through an economy.
- The five key sectors are households, businesses, financial institutions, government, and the overseas sector.
Sector Functions
- Households earn wages from businesses and spend money on goods and services.
- Businesses produce goods/services and pay wages to households.
- The financial sector manages savings, which is a leakage, and investment, which is an injection.
- The government collects taxes, a leakage, and funds public services, an injection.
- The overseas sector handles imports, a leakage, and exports, an injection.
Economic Impact
- Leakages include savings, taxes, and imports.
- Injections include investment, government spending, and exports.
- If leakages outweigh injections, economic activity slows.
- Higher injections lead to economic growth.
- The model helps explain economic stability, government policies, and the impacts of global trade.
