Components of the Two-Sector Circular Flow Model
The basic two-sector circular flow model illustrates the interaction between households and firms through four primary flows. Households provide firms with factor services (e.g., labor) and, in a separate flow, spend money on the goods and services that firms produce. Conversely, firms provide households with goods and services, and in return, make factor payments (e.g., wages) for the services received. This creates a continuous loop of real resources (labor, goods) and monetary payments (spending, wages).
