Four sectors of the economy


With the influence of globalization every country certainly can not meet all of its own needs. each country must be ready to open up with other countries to cooperate with overseas communities. Role of overseas community is what causes the circular flow of economic activity are better able to describe the economic model which conforms to reality.

In the four sectors of the economy there will be two groups of economic actors, namely the community of foreign and domestic society. On the foreign community there are households, firms, and governments. Likewise, the economic actors in the country. They interact with each other to form a system of rotation of goods and services, factors of production, and money between economic actors in domestic and foreign economic actors.

These interactions can occur at the goods market and factor markets. In the market of goods occurs the flow of goods and services in the export and import the results of production. Exports of goods and services causing no flow of foreign exchange (foreign currency) into the country. Vice versa, with imports means a foreign country to send overseas. Meanwhile, in the market of production factors are the flow of factors of production and remuneration in the form of foreign exchange flows.

The relationship between price and total demand or supply of goods


Schedule / list demand / supply is a table showing the relationship between the number of items requested / offered to the market price at a certain time. While the curve of the demand / supply is a graph that connects between a certain price level with the quantity of goods demanded / offered at a specific time period.

The demand curve describes the functional relationship between price and quantity of goods demanded, this curve along the top left to bottom right and has a slope / negative slope which means the variables work in the opposite direction. If the price of goods rises, the total demand for goods falls and vice versa. Why did it happen? This was caused by the existence of income effects and substitution effects. If the price of goods rises, the real revenue be decreased and consequently the amount of the requested goods also fell. While the substitution effect caused by the slope / negative slope of the demand curve itself. For example, coffee is considered as a good substitute of tea then the actual substitution effect is always positive, meaning that if the price of tea increased the amount of demand for coffee will increase (during the coffee price unchanged), and vice versa.

The supply curve illustrates the functional relationship between price and quantity of goods offered, this curve along the top right to bottom left and has a slope / positive slope which means the variables work in the same direction. If the price rises then the amount of supply of goods increases and vice versa. Why does it happen? Because the main purpose of the entrepreneur or trader is to profit so it is more profitable to sell more goods at high prices and vice versa sell fewer goods when the price falls.
