NATURAL UNEMPLOYMENT: The combination of frictional and structural unemployment that persists in an efficient, expanding economy when labor and resource markets are in equilibrium. Natural unemployment exists when the economy is at full employment, which for practical purposes is defined as the condition in which the quantity of resources demanded is equal to the quantity of resources supplied. Most important for policy purposes, natural employment exists with stable prices, that is, no inflation.

- Exports are goods and services produced by the domestic economy and purchased by the foreign sector.
- Imports are goods and services produced by the foreign sector and purchased by the domestic economy.
- Exports are the green flow coming from the foreign sector and joining GDP before reaching the business sector.
- Imports are the green flow leaving the consumption, investment, government purchases stream and going to the foreign sector.
- Note that the physical flow of production (exports and imports) moves in opposite direction as the green payment flows.

The payment flow moves in the opposite direction.
