Need a whole A4 page for this diagram
• Need it to be landscape
• Start off on the far left side…..
• Need lots of space for the diagram to ‘grow’….

Key terms…Injections = I + G + X
Withdrawals = S + T + M
![Page 15: Unit 2 Macroeconomics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816490550346895dd662a9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Circular Flow of Income – what if….•What if Injections* are greater than withdrawals?•*Injections = I + G + X
Multiplier effect

•What if withdrawals* are greater than Injections?
•*Withdrawals = S + T + M

Government Macro Economic policies…Look at managing injections and
withdrawals to allow a positive economic growth of 2% per year.
The Govt can achieve this either by reducing withdrawals or by increasing injections

National IncomeMeasuring economic growth
![Page 19: Unit 2 Macroeconomics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816490550346895dd662a9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
National Growth
National Income = all incomes from FoP are added (from Firms to Households)
National Product = all g & s produced (by firms)
National Expenditure (AD) = all expenditure on output is added.

What’s the differenceGDP v GNP
![Page 21: Unit 2 Macroeconomics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56816490550346895dd662a9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
GDP v GNP
•GDP measures the value of output produced within the domestic boundaries of the UK over a given time period.
•GDP includes the output of the many foreign owned firms that are located in the UK following the high levels of foreign direct investment in the UK economy over many years.
•GNP measures the final value of output or expenditure by UK owned factors of production whether they are located in the UK or overseas.
•Many foreign firms have set up production plants in the UK whilst UK firms have expanded their operations overseas and become multinational (or trans-national) organisations.
