income and expenditure of an economy flow
in a circular manner continuously through
time.
3 Models:
1. Circular Flow in a Two Sector Economy
2. Circular Flow in a Three- Sector Economy
3. Circular Flow in a Four - Sector Economy
Two Sector Economy
Y= C+I
Two sector model with Banking system
(Y = C + I)
Three- Sector Model
Y=C+I+G
Four Sector Model
Y = C + I + G + (X-M)
