Evaluating a Simplified Economic Model
An economist develops a model of a country's economy that includes only two types of actors: 'Households' that supply labor and purchase goods, and 'Firms' that hire labor and produce goods. In this model, all income earned by households is immediately spent on goods produced by firms. A major, unexpected crisis occurs in the country's banking system, leading to a widespread credit freeze. Analyze why the economist's model would be unable to predict or explain the economic consequences of this event.
