AAUP: The abbreviation for American Association of University Professors, which is an association of university and college faculty established in 1915 to protect academic freedom. The AAUP is the closest thing university faculty have to a labor union. While it does engage in some collective bargaining functions with specific universities, similar to traditional labor unions, its primary function is to ensure that faculty maintain intellectual or academic freedom from political of social pressures.

Page: 6 of 22
|
- The circular flow model, which is the continuous production and consumption interaction among the four major sectors-household, business, government, and foreign-- that takes place through the three aggregated macroeconomic markets--product, factor and financial.
- The basic role of the sectors--household, business, government and foreign--of the economy.
- The three aggregated markets: (a) Product markets: All markets in the economy that exchange final goods and services. (b) Factor markets: All markets that exchanges the services of the economy's labor resources. (c) Financial markets: All markets that trade financial instruments.
- The physical flow, which is the counter-clockwise flow of resources from the household to the business sector and of production from the business to the household sector.
- The payment flow, which is the clockwise flow of payment for resources purchased by the business from the household sector and of payment for production purchased by the household to the business sector.
- The continuous circular flow of payments: GDP used for factor payments, which becomes national income, which is used for consumption to buy GDP.
