X-M: The abbreviation for net exports, which is the difference between exports, goods and services produced by the domestic economy and purchased by the foreign sector, and imports, goods and services produced by the foreign sector and purchased by the domestic economy. While exports and imports important unto themselves, when combined into a single measure net exports captures the overall interaction between the foreign sector and the domestic economy. Arithmetically speaking, if exports exceed imports, then net exports are positive, and if imports exceed exports, the net exports are negative.

The payment flow goes in the opposite direction of the physical flow. A physical commodity goes one direction through markets and payment goes the other.
  • The household sector buys production from the business sector (counter-clockwise flow) in exchange for payment (clockwise flow) through product markets.
  • The business sector buys resources from the household sector (counter-clockwise flow) in exchange for payment (clockwise flow) through factor markets.
  • Revenue received by the business sector for selling goods is used to pay the factors of production.
  • Factor payments become income used by household sector to buy production from the business sector.
  • The circular flow makes about six cycles around the economy each year.

SLOPE, SAVING LINE

The positive slope of the saving line is also termed the marginal propensity to save (MPS). This slope is greater than zero but less than one, reflecting induced saving and the Keynesian psychological law of consumer behavior that saving increases by less than the increase in income. The slope of the saving line provides the foundation for the slope of the leakages line used in the injections-leakages model. It thus also affects the magnitude of the multiplier process.

[What's This?]

Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a crowded estate auction hoping to buy either a battery-powered, rechargeable vacuum cleaner or a remote controlled World War I bi-plane. Be on the lookout for infected paper cuts.

This isn't me! What am I?

Natural gas has no odor. The smell is added artificially so that leaks can be detected.
