MACRO ECONOMICS
The term Macro has its origin from the Greek term
‘Makros’, which means large.
Macro Economics is defined as that branch of
economics which studies the economic issues or
economic problems at the level of an economy as
a whole.
Prof. J. M. Keynes was the pioneer in the field of
modern Macroeconomics.
John Maynard Keynes, (5 June 1883 – 21 April 1946), was
a British Economist, whose ideas fundamentally changed
the theory and practice of macro economics and the
economic policies of the govt.

CIRULAR FLOW IN A TWO SECTOR ECONOMY
• In a TWO sector economy there are two sectors, namely
HOSEHOLD sector and PRODIUCING sector (FIRMS)
• House holds are the owners of the factors of productions and
the consumers of goods and services.
• Producers sector (Firms) includes all the producing units in an
economy. It hires factor inputs from the Household sector and
produces goods and services.

TWO sector economy is also known as a CLOSED ECONOMY.

FACTOR INPUTS (LAND. LABOUR, CAPITAL & ORGANISATION)

PAYMENT FOR GOODS & SERVICES (CONSUMPTION EXPENDITURE)


From the above flow chart we can see that there are TWO
sectors namely Household sector and the producing sector.

Initially Household sector supplies factor inputs to the firms


and in return firms pays factor payments to the household
sector.

By using these factor inputs firms produces goods and


services and supplies to the household sectors. In return
house hold sectors gives payment to these goods and services
to the firms, known as consumption expenditure.

Here we could see there are two flows namely real flow and
the nominal flow. Inside arrows (blue) shows the real flow and
the outside arrows (red) shows the nominal or money flow.
EXPNDED FORM OF TWO SECTOR ECONOMY

By incorporating the financial market (Banking) in a two sector


economy, we can expand the two sector model. Household
sector and firms deposits their amount in the financial market
and in the same way financial market lends money to the
household and the producing sectors.

We can see the functioning of this in the following flow chart.

FOUR SECTOR MODEL ECONOMY
A four sector economy consists of Households,
firms, government and foreign sector.
Foreign sector receives revenue from firms,
households and government for export of goods
and services.
It makes payment for import of goods and services
from firms and govt.
It also makes payment for the factor services to
the govt.
Significance of circular flow of income
• It help us to understand the mutual
interdependence among the different sectors.
• It helps in the estimation of national income.
• It helps in identifying various types of leakages
and injections.
LEAKAGES & INJECTIONS UNDER CIRCULAR FLOW .
•LEAKAGES:- Refer to withdrawal of money from the
circular flow OR refers to that part of income which does
not pass through the circular flow of income.
•It reduces the flow of income.
•For eg: Savings, Taxes, imports
