INTRODUCTION 1.2. MEANING OF CIRCULAR FLOW OF INCOME 1.3, STOCK AND FLOW 1.4 TYPES OF CIRCULAR FLOW 1.5 CIRCULAR FLOW IN A SIMPLE ECONOMY (TWO-SECTOR ECONOMY) 1.1 INTRODUCTION The unlimited and recurring wants of human beings have made the production process, a continuous process. In this process, different factors of production: Land, Labour, Capital and Enterprise are combined together for production of goods and services. * Firms produce goods and services with collective efforts of factors of production supplied by the household sector * Firm makes payment to the factors of production in the form of rent, wages, interest and profit (known as factor incomes). * The household sector spends this money on the purchase of goods and services produced by the firms. Thus, income flows first from firms to households in the form of factor payments and then, from households) to firms in the form of consumption expenditure. Such a flow of money is known as the circular flow of income. 4.2 MEANING OF CIRCULAR FLOW OF INCOME It refers to cycle of generation of income in the production process, its distribution among the factors of production and finally, its circulation from households to firms in the form of consumption expenditure on goods and services produced by them. Phases of Circular Flow of Income There are 3 different phases (generation, distribution and disposition) in circular flow of income, as shown in the given diagram: ww Scamesty Ta scannea witn vamscanner Introductory Macroeconomics 4. Generation Phase: In this phase, firms produce goods and services with the help of factor services. 2. Distribution Phase: This phase involves the flow of factor income (rent, wages, interest and profit) from firms to the households. Production Phase (Goneration of comay| Income Pnase {Distibution of income 3, Disposition Phase: In this phase, the income received by factors of production, is spent on the goods and services produced by firms. In this way, income generated in production units gia reaches back to production units and makes the circular flow complete. 1.3 STOCK AND FLOW ———— The concepts of stock and flow are used frequently in macroeconomics. Some of the macro variables relate to stock, while others relate to flow. Therefore, it is important to understand their meaning so that variables can be categorised as stock or flow. Stock Stock variable refers to that variable, which is measured at a particular point of time. For example, stock of goods in the godownas on 31" January, 2019. It means, stock variables are not time dimensional. Some more examples of stock variables are National wealth, National capital, Money supply etc. Flow Flow variable refers to that variable, which is measured over a period of time. For example, production of goods during the month of January 2019, birth rate in the year 2018, National Income in the year 2018 are flow variables. The ‘period of time’ could bea day, a week, a year, etc. It means, flow variables are time dimensional as they are measured for a period of time. Examples for Better Clarity * The amount of water in tank is the quantity of water in Sink ot water Ina tant the tank at a given point of time. On the other hand, water flowing into the tank from a tap is a flow of water being added to the tank per unit of time. © The total number of houses as on December 31, 2018 is the stock concept, while the number of houses constructed during the year 2018 is a flow variable.

CIRCULAR FLOW IN A SIMPLE ECONOMY (TWO-SECTOR ECONOMY) — A simple economy assumes the existence of only two sectors, i.e. household sector and firm sector. * Households are the owners of factors of production and consumers of goods and services. * Firms produce goods and services and sell them to the households. Itis the simplest form of closed economy", in which there is no government sector and foreign trade. Closed Economyis an economy which has no economic relations with rest of the world. Open Economy Is an economy which has economic relations with rest of the world. In order to make our analysis simple, we take some assumptions: 1. There are only 2 sectors in the economy: Households and Firms. It means, there is no government and foreign sector. 2. Household sector supplies factor goxtor Servicog services only to firms and the firms hire ea, Calan factor services only from households. KE syenptton Expendin, 3.

Fig. 1.4 | Scaesty re scannea witn vamseanner Circular Flow of income ‘s The Circular flow in Two-Sector economy can be better understood with the help of Fig, U- * The outer loop of diagram shows the real flow, i.e. flow of factor services from households: to firms and corresponding flow of goods and services from firms to households. * The inner loop shows the money flow, ie. flow of factor payments from firms to households and the corresponding flow of consumption expenditure from households to firms, Itmust be noted that entire amount of money, which is paid by firms as factor payments is paid back by the factor owners to the firms. So, there is a circular and continuous flow of money income. In the circular flow of income, production generates factor income, which is converted into expenditure. This flow of income continues as production is a continuous activity due to never- ending human wants. It makes the flow of income circular.

Residentship * Itis an economic concept based on the basic economic activities performed by a person. * An individual is a normal resident of a country if he ordinarily resides in the country for a period more than one year and his centre of economic interest also lies in that country Example: A Chinese living in india for more than one year is a normal resident of India. However, he ig nota citizen (or national) of india as he does not hold citizenship of India. It means, @ person can be a citizen of one country and at the same time, a resident of another country. Tae ar ‘The concepts of Domestic Territory and Normal Resident are important to estimate ‘Domestic Product’ and ‘National Product’. 1. The concept of Domestic territory helps to estimate ‘Domestic Product’. Domestic Product includes production activity of production units located in the economic territory irrespective of fact whether carried out by the residents or non-residents, The money value of domestic product is termed as Domestic Income. 2. The concept of Normal Resident helps to estimate ‘National Product. National Product includes production activities of normal residents irrespective of tact whether performed within the economic territory or outside it, The money value of national product is termed as National income. ‘The concepts of Domestic Income and National Income have been discussed in detal later in the chapter.

They are broadly categorised under four heads: () Lands (i) Labour; () Capital; and (iv) Enlrepreneur Transter Income Transfer income refers to income received without rendering any productive service in return, Itis a unilateral (one-sided) concept. It is not included in National Income as it does not reflect any production of goods and services. It can be received either within the domestic territory of a country or from abroad. 1 vumples: Old age pension, scholarship, unemployment allowance, pocket money, ele. Taxes received by the government are the transfer incomes of the government as they are received without providing any productive service in return. Similarly, subsidies paid by the government are transfer payments of the government. ‘Transter receipts are of lwo types: (}) Current Transfer; (i) Capital Transter. 1. Current transters are made out of income, whereas, capital transters are made out of the wealth of the payer. 2. Current transters are generally regular in nature, whereas, capital transfers are irregular. 3. Current transters are meant for consumption purposes, whereas, capital transfers are meant for capital formation. 4.

It must be noted that final goods are nelther resold nor used for any further transformation in the process of production. Intermediate Goods, Intermediate goods refer to those goods which are used either for resale or for further production in the same yi Intermediate Goods includ: (4) Goods purchased for resale (like milk purchased by a Dairy Shop). Gi) Goods used for further production (like milk used for making sweets). Important Points about Intermediate Goods * They are generally purchased by one production unit from another production unit, ie. intermediate goods remain within the production boundary. However, all purchases by one production unit from other production units are not intermediate purchases. For example, purchases of building, machinery, etc. are not intermediate purchases {if they are nol meant for resale) as their value 's not mcluded in the value of final good. In fact, such purchases are termed as final producis as they are purchased for investment. * They have ‘Derived Demand’ as their demand depends on demand for final goods. * Durable goods (like trucks, aircrafts, vehicles, etc.) purchased by Government for military purposes are included under the category of intermediate goods as they are used to produce defense services and not for market sale. « Value of intermediate goods is merged with the value of final goods. For instance, suppose a miller buys wheat worth @ 700 and converts it into flour worth 8 1,000. Now, the value of flour (final good) includes the value of wheat (intermediate good). Scameaty rarSom scannea witn vamscanner aa 26 Introductory Macroecon Production Boundary The concept of production boundary is very | significant to understand the difference between intermediate and final goods. The production boundary is the line around the productive sector. As long as goods remain within the production boundary, they are intermediate goods and when a goad comes out of this boundary, Ht becomes a final good. Inthe given diagram, there are 3 production units (A, Band C). The thick border drawn around these three units is the Production Boundary. Within this limit, cotton and pRODUCTION BOUNDRY thread are intermediate goods. Cloth is a final good as it lies outside the purview of production boundary. Farmer A produces Cotton worth % 2,000 and Sells 108 B produces Thread worth 2 3,000 and sells tt0C produces Cloth worth & 4,500 and sells to Consumers =) How to Classify Goods as: Intermediate Goods and Final Goods The distinction between intermediate goods and final goods is made on the basis of the use of product and not on the basis of product itself. A commodity can be an intermediate good as well as 4a final good, depending upon its nature of use. For Example: (i) Sugar is an intermediate good when it is used by sweet shop for making sweets. However, if it is used by the consumers, then it becomes a final good. (ii) Similarly, milk isan intermediate good when it is used in dairy shops for resale. However, it becomes a final good when it is used by the households. So, it must be noted that distinction is made on the basis of end use. If end use of a good is consumption or investment, then it is a final good. However, if the good is used for resale or further | ‘production (in the same year), then itis an intermediate good. National Income includes only Final Goods Only final goods are included in national income. The intermediate goods are not included in the national income as they are already included in the final goods. If their value is addi again, it will lead to double counting Example: Out of wheat and flour, only flour (final good) is included in National Income as value of flour ) already includes the value of wheat (intermediate good). Goods used up in the same year are Intermediate Goods It should always be remembered that intermediate goods are used up in the same year. If they} remain for more than one year, then they are treated as final goods, Scameaty reson scannea witn vamscanner Basic Concepts ¢ 27 Suppose X Lid, purchases 10 tonnes coal in 2018 tor making glasses.

Final goods can be clas: Consumption Goods Consumption goods refer to those goods which satisfy the wants of the consumers directly. For example, Bread, butter, shirts, pens, television, furniture, ete. Consumption goods can further be sub-divided into following categories: 1. Durable xoods: It refers to those goods which cun be used again and again over a considerable period of time, For exaniple. tele shich can be used for a limited period of time are termed as semi- Forexample,clothes, crockery, ion, refrigerators, etc. 2. Semi-durable goods: Good durable goods. These goods havea life span of around one ye shoes, ete. 3. Non-durable goods: Gootts which are used up in a single act of consumption are known as non- durable goods, These goods cannot be used more than once, ive. they lose their identity in single act of consumption. For vaumple, milk, bread, foodgrains, paper, ete. ervices: Services refer to non-material goods which directly satisfy the human wants. They are intangible activities, ic. they can neither be seen nor touched. For example, services of teachers, doctors, banks, etc. Capital Goods Capital Goods are those final goods which help in production of other goods and services, [or sniple, plant and machinery, equipments, etc. Scot repsomrar scannea witn vamscanner Basic Concepts of Mac economics 2.9 Some Pots about Capital Gants " (1) They are tsed in future for productive purposes and have expected life time of several years, (ii), They do not lose their identity in the production process, i.e, they do not get merged in the process of production, qi) (iv) They need repairs or replacement over time as they depreciate over a period of time. They have derived demand as their demand is derived from the demand forother goods, which they help to produce. Ua eT rr \ must be noted that all goods used by producer (known as producer goods) are not capital goods. Producer goods include two types of goods: * Single-use Producer Goods: includes raw material like coal, wood, ete. They are nol capital 900ds as they cannot be repeatedly used in the production process. * Capital Goods: It includes tixed assets like plant and machinery, which can be repeatedly Used in the production process. ‘So, it can be said that all capital goods are producer goods, but all producer goods are not capital goods. How to Classify Goods as: Consumption Goods and Capital Goods There is no clear cut line of demarcation between consumption goods and capital goods. Th same good can be consumption good and also capital good. It depends on the ultimate use of the good. Fu example, a machine purchased by a household is consumption good, whereas, if itis purchased by a firm for use in the business, then i a capital good. "However, if the machinery is bought by the firm for resale, then it willbe treated as an intermediate good.

For example, construction of building, purchase of machinery, addition to inventories of goods, etc] Investment can be looked up in two forms: (1) Gross Investment (i) Net Investment Gross Investment Gross Investment is addition to the stock of capital before making allowance for depreciation, Capital stock consists of fixed assets and unsold stock. So, gross investment is the expenditure on purchase of fixed assets and unsold stock during the accounting, year. However, gross investment does not indicate the actual change in economy's stock of productive ) ‘assols for @ given year. During the production process, some amount of fixed capital is used up. This foss of lixed capital is known as depreciation. By subtracting depreciation from gross investment, we gel Net Investment. | Net Investment The actual addition made to the capital stock of economy in a given period is termed as Nel Investment.

Net National Product at Factor Cost (NP; or National Income) 3.2 BASIC AGGREGATES OF NATIONAL INCOME Inan economy, various goods and services are produced by different productive units during a period of one year. Such goods and services cannot be added together in terms of quantity (as we cannot add 5,000 tonnes of wheat + 10,000 mobile phones + 7,000 machines and so on). Therefore, these are expressed in terms of money. wir) 9! goods and services in terms There are many aggregates in national income to measure the value o of money.
