CASE STUDY-2:
There are only two sectors in the economy: Households and Firms. It means the government and foreign sector.
Household sector supplies factor services only to firms and the firms hire factor services only from households. Firms
produce goods and services and sell their entire output to the households. Households receive factor income for their
services and spend the entire amount on consumption of goods and services. There are no savings in the economy,
i.e. neither the households save from their incomes, nor the firms save from their profits.
Questions:
1. Name the two dominant sectors of the economy?
2. What are factor payments?.
3. What is the importance of consumption expenditure?
4. What would happen if householders will be removed from the two sector model of economy?
CASE STUDY-3:
Since in a monetary economy, all payments are made in money the real flow turns itself into money flow of income.
When firms get factor services from households, they make monetary payments against these services to the
households. These payments are made in the form of wages to workers, rent to landowners, interest to capitalists,
and profit to entrepreneurs. These monetary payments are factor incomes for households. Households spend this
income on the purchase of goods and services from the firms for their consumption. As the households spend all their
income on consumption of goods and services, total money receipt of the firm is the same as the total income of the
households. In other words, the money delivered to households by firms as factor payments come back to them when
households spend their income on consumptions.
