What are sectors?/ the name of the 5 sectors https://padlet.com/rsaunders35/p83fquxxu07p2ei/wish/2648396692 In order to accomplish economic activities requires the engagement between different groups which each group is called a sector. There are five main sectors linked in an economic model which is known as the circular flow of income, including the household sector, business sector, financial sector, government sector, and international/overseas sector. However, the assumption needs to start from a two-sector model, household and business sectors, before establishing a five-sector model. ]]> 2023-07-20 05:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rsaunders35/p83fquxxu07p2ei/wish/2648396692 Question 3 https://padlet.com/rsaunders35/p83fquxxu07p2ei/wish/2648398207

1. Real flows

Physical flows refer to the transfer of goods and services from one sector of the economy to another. There is a physical transfer of goods and services between two sectors, households and businesses. Therefore, it is also referred to as product flow or physical flow.

2. Money flows

In the money flows, money is used as a medium of exchange and facilitates transactions by valuing them in monetary terms


Money flow refers to the circulation of money through various economic agents in an economy. 

It represents the monetary transactions that occur between households, businesses, and the government.

Real flow refers to the movement of goods and services between producers (businesses) and consumers (households) in an economy.

It represents the physical exchanges of goods and services for consumption and production purposes.]]> 2023-07-20 05:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rsaunders35/p83fquxxu07p2ei/wish/2648400769 10.

Equilibrium in the 2 sector model---what is it? https://padlet.com/rsaunders35/p83fquxxu07p2ei/wish/2648405560 In the context of macroeconomics, a two-sector model is a simple representation of an economy which is divided into two main sectors: the household sector and the business sector. In this model, households provide factors of production (like labor and capital) to businesses, and businesses produce goods and services that households consume.

In this model:

Y represents the total output or income in the economy. This is essentially the sum of all goods and services produced.

E stands for total expenditure in the economy. This represents the sum of all spending done in the economy. In a simple two-sector model, all output produced (Y) is assumed to be purchased and consumed (E).

Q represents the total quantity of goods and services produced in the economy.

In equilibrium, these three elements should be equal to each other (Y=E=Q), meaning that all goods and services produced in the economy (Y and Q) are being consumed or purchased (E). This reflects a state of balance or stability where there is no pressure for the economy to change.

This equilibrium condition is based on the fundamental principle of national income accounting, which states that the total income of an economy must equal its total output and total spending. This is because every transaction has a buyer and a seller, and therefore each transaction contributes equally to the total income, total output, and total expenditure.]]> 2023-07-20 05:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rsaunders35/p83fquxxu07p2ei/wish/2648405560 6 product and resource markets-giving examples https://padlet.com/rsaunders35/p83fquxxu07p2ei/wish/2648410541 Product Market Examples:
