  • Circular Flow Model of the Economy

Government's Role in the Circular Flow Model

When the government is added to the circular flow model, it acts as another key economic agent. It collects taxes from both households and firms, and uses this revenue to purchase goods, services, and labor. This spending allows the government to provide public services, such as education and security, to households, and to regulate the interactions between all economic participants.
