DISTRIBUTION STANDARDS: Three alternative criteria for distributing income to members of society--contributive standard, equality standard, needs standard. A basic notion in economics is that income is generated through production (circular flow). The amount of income generated each year depends on the value of goods and services produced with the economy's limited resources. But once this income is generated it must be distributed to members of society. The contributive, equality, and needs standards are the three primary criteria for distributing income.

The four basic macroeconomics sectors:
  • Household sector: This includes everyone, all people, seeking to satisfy unlimited wants and needs. This sector is responsible for consumption.
  • Business sector: This includes those undertaking the task of combining resources to produce goods and services. This sector is responsible for the production.
  • Government sector: This includes the ruling bodies of the federal, state, and local governments. Regulation is the prime function, especially to pass laws, collect taxes, and force other economic sectors to do things that they wouldn't do voluntary.
  • Foreign sector: Includes everyone and everything beyond the boundaries of the domestic economy.
