Circular Flow of Income Model

This topic introduces the circular flow of income as a fundamental macroeconomic model illustrating the continuous movement of money, goods, services, and factors of production between households and firms in an economy. It details the two main actors (households and firms), the two key markets (goods/services and factor markets), and the flows of income and expenditure. For Zambian university and college students studying economics, business, or health management, mastering this model is essential for understanding national income accounting, the interdependence of economic sectors, and the basis for analyzing macroeconomic phenomena like inflation and unemployment. It provides a foundational visual framework for exams and for comprehending how economic policies impact the overall economy.
