Study Notes
Macroeconomics
- Macroeconomics studies the economy as a whole, including its total income and expenditure.
- GDP measures both the total income of everyone in the economy and the total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services.
- For the economy as a whole, income equals expenditure, because every dollar of expenditure by a buyer is a dollar of income for a seller.
Circular-Flow Diagram
- Illustrates GDP as spending, revenue, factor payments, and income.
- The circular-flow diagram includes households and firms.
- Households own factors of production, such as labor, land, capital, and natural resources.
- Factors of production are sold to firms for factor payments such as wages and rent.
- Firms buy and hire factors of production to produce goods and services, which they sell to households.
