- The second unit builds on the simple model by introducing the financial markets, which highlights the importance of household saving and business investment.
- The circular flow is expanding further in the third unit, with the introduction of the government sector, which highlights how taxes are diverted away from the household sector.
- The fourth unit adds one more sector to the circular flow model, the foreign sector, which illustrates the roles played exports and imports.
- The fifth unit wraps up this lesson by showing how several key measures of production and income revealed in the analysis of gross domestic production related to the circular flow.
