KEYNESIAN DISEQUILIBRIUM: The state of the Keynesian model in which aggregate expenditures are not equal to aggregate production, which results in an imbalance that induces a change in aggregate production. In other words, the opposing forces of aggregate expenditures (the buyers) and aggregate production (the sellers) are out of balance. At the existing level of aggregate production, either the four macroeconomic sectors (household, business, government, and foreign) are unable to purchase all of the production that they seek or producers are unable to sell all of the production that they have.

  • Production flows from the business sector (supply) to the household sector (demand) through the product markets.
  • Resources flow from the household sector (demand) to the business (supply) sector through the factor markets.
  • The household sector sells the resources through the factor markets and buy goods through the product markets.
  • The business sector buys resources through the factor markets and sells goods through the product markets.
