THE CIRCULAR FLOW OF THE CIRCULAR FLOW OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC ACTIVITY
Circular Flow- refer to a simple economic model which describes the reciprocal circulation of income between producers and consumers
fundamental representation of macroeconomic activity among the fundamental representation of macroeconomic activity among the major players in the economy--consumers, producers, government, major players in the economy--consumers, producers, government, and the rest of the world. Different versions of the model and the rest of the world. Different versions of the model sequentially combined the sequentially combined the four sectors-four sectors--household, business, -household, business, government, and foreign--and the government, and foreign--and the three markets-three markets--product, -product, resource, and financial--into increasingly more comprehensive resource, and financial--into increasingly more comprehensive representations of the economy.representations of the economy.

Four Models The Complete Model The circular flow model actually consists of four separate models, each
sequentially adding sectors or markets and thus providing greater complexity and realism.
1. Two Sectors, Two Markets: The simplest circular flow model contains two sectors (household and business) and two markets (product and resource). This model highlights the core circular flow of production, income, and consumption.
2.Two Sectors, Three Markets: A second version of the circular flow model adds the financial markets. This addition illustrates how saving is diverted from the household sector to the business sector to finance investment expenditures.
3. Three Sectors, Three Markets: A third version of the model includes the government sector. This model highlights the importance of taxes, which are also diverted from household sector income and used to finance government purchases.
4. Four Sectors, Three Markets: The most comprehensive circular flow model includes the foreign sector. Adding the foreign sector highlights the role of trade with the rest of the world, especially exports and imports.
The complete circular flow model, with all four macroeconomic sectors (household, business, government and foreign) and all three macroeconomic markets (product, resource, and financial), is presented in the above exhibit.
