CONCEPT NOTES
 An economic institution provides the distribution of goods and services to the members
of the society. However, it also causes some socialization that brings about a distribution
of power. It also influences the culture and affects social stratification.

Non-market Institutions:
1. Reciprocity- refers to non-market exchange of goods or labor ranging from direct barter
to forms of gift exchange where a return is eventually expected as in the exchange of
birthday gifts. (ex. When neighbors exchange food for labor rendered)
2. Transfer- a change of ownership of an asset or a movement of funds and/or assets from
one account to another. (ex. Donation or financial assistance from a richer relative and
transfer payments)
3. Redistribution- a combination of the features of transfer and reciprocity where economic
exchange involves the collection of goods from members.
 Reciprocity, transfer, and redistribution are considered as non-market transactions since
they do not entail the exchange of cash for rendering of service or provision of goods.
 Market transactions involve parties who sell their goods and services in exchange for
cash from consumers.
The State-Market Relationship:
 The state through the government, comes in to regulate the prices of the service, which
technically is in the form of the wages the workers earn. Government intervention inn
economic institutions is warranted to protect the interest of consumers and workers.
 The primary instrument used by the governments to redistribute income is tax, a
compulsory contributions to government coffers, normally levied from worker’s income,
business profits, and consumption of goods and services.

ACTIVITY
Answer the following questions and give each question an example to prove your answer.

1. Do you believe monopolizing goods or services has disadvantages? Yes or no and why?
2. What is the main difference between market and non-market transaction?
3. Why is there a market transaction?
