Leakages and Injections E: [email protected] T: +91-0-9687100199 To understand about the leakages and injections in the economy www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in 7 2/26/2023 Models of circular flow of economy Four Sector Model Two sector model Three Sector Model Four Sector Model Five Sector Model www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in Two Sector Model Five Sector Model www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in Three Sector Model Foreign Household sector Determinants Firms/ business Financial institutions www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in 8 2/26/2023 Leakages and Injections Government Just like households and firms the government also earns incomes and makes expenses. Two major functions played are: Government earns revenue either from tax or non-tax sources both from households and firms. Government provides essential public services such as maintenance of law and order, defense services, judiciary etc. www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in Financial institutions Households: Financial Institution : It is a person or a group of people that consists of banks and non-bank intermediaries who share their income. The members of engage in the borrowing (savings from households)and households have two functions: lending of money. they supply different factors of production the leakage that financial institutions provide in the members of household also work as economy is the option for households to save consumers their money. www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in Firms: An organization that produces goods and services Foreign Market: for sale. It consists of two kinds of international economic main objective is to maximize profit in the production process. transactions i.e. The two main functions are as follows: Produce goods and services and supply them in the market. export and import of goods and services Firms purchase inputs or raw materials from households to use them in the production process inflow and outflow of capital. www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in 9 2/26/2023 Three sector model Foreign Market(export and import): Three sector model is created by adding the Government sector to Goods and services produced within the domestic the Two sector model territory which are sold to the foreigners are called exports. Three kinds of monetary flows between the government and the rest Purchases of foreign made goods and services by of the economy i.e.1)direct taxes on both households and domestic households are called as imports. firms2)government expenditure3)transfer payments and subsidies Here we assume that only business forms can interact Government spends a part of its tax revenue as factor payments to with the foreign countries and dealt with the export and the households and a part in the form of transfer payments as import of the country. Money goes through import from the economy again pension and food subsidy etc. return back to the country through export activities. www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in Why savings become a leakage?????? This is a leakage because the saved money can not be spent This circular flow of model shows the four macro economic in the economy and thus it is an idle asset, that means no sectors of the economy i.e. household, business firm, output will be purchased. government, and financial institutions. The injection that the financial sector provides into the These four sectors capture four fundamental macroeconomic economy is investment (I) into the business/firms sector. In functions and their expenditures are combined together to terms of the circular flow of income model the leakage that purchase the economy's total production. financial institutions provides an option for households to save their money. www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in How tax becomes a leakage????? To introduce the financial market, it is assumed that household saves in the financial market. Tax is paid to Government by households and firms Tax is a leakage because it is a leakage out of the current income and There are no inter-households borrowing reduces the expenditure on current goods and services If the households save a part of their income in The injection provided by Government on this leakage is Government spending( services and welfare payments to the the financial market (such as banks, insurance community) companies, stock market etc), this reduces the expenditure of household on goods and services For e.g.. Income tax collected by Govt is a leakage and Govt spends Ultimately it reduces the flow of money/income of the economy. some amount as food subsidy as an injection. So saving known as the leakage of the economy www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in 10 2/26/2023 How Imports becomes a leakage????? Imports are leakage because it is the spending by residents into the Supply and demand are the two words that rest of the world. economists use most often. It becomes a leakage because the money in the home market goes to Supply and demand are the forces that make countries abroad. market economies work. The main injection provided by this sector is the exports of goods Modern microeconomics is about supply, demand, and services which generate income for the exporters from overseas and market equilibrium. residents. www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in MARKETS AND COMPETITION A market is a group of buyers and sellers of a particular good In five sector circular flow of income model, the state of or service. equilibrium occurs when the total leakages are equal to the total injections that occur in the economy. This can be shown as: The terms supply and demand refer to the behavior of Savings + Taxes + Imports = Investment + Government Spending people... as they interact with one another in markets. + Exports S + T + M = I + G + X. www.sanjivanimba.org.in www.sanjivanimba.org.in Sanjivani College of Engineering, Kopargaon Department of MBA MARKETS AND COMPETITION Buyers determine demand.
