Theory of Income and Employment Theory of General Price level & Inflation Theory of Economic Growth & Development Theory of Distribution Theory of Consumption Function

Give few examples for Macroeconomic theory.

The importance and the need for introducing a macro outlook of an economy are given below: There is a need to understand the functioning of the economy at the aggregate level to evolve suitable strategies and to solve the basic problems prevailing in an economy. Understanding the future problems, needs and challenges of an economy as a whole is important to evolve precautionary measures. Macro economics provides ample opportunities to use scientific investigation to understand the reality. Macro economics helps to make meaningful comparison and analysis of economic indicators. Macro economics helps for better prediction about future and to formulate suitable policies to avoid economic crises, for which Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences is awarded.

Circular Flow of Income in a Two-Sector Economy: There are only two sectors namely, household sector and firm sector. Household Sector: The household sector is the sole buyer of goods and services, and the sole supplier of factors of production, i.e., land, labour, capital and organisation. It spends its entire income on the purchase of goods and services produced by the business sector. The household sector receives income from firm sector by providing the factors of production owned by it. Firms: The firm sector generates its revenue by selling goods and services to the household sector. It hires the factors of production, i.e., land, labour, capital and organisation, owned by the household sector. The firm sector sells the entire output to households. In a two – sector economy, production and sales are equal and there will be a circular flow of income and goods. The outer circle represents real flow (factors and goods) and the inner circle represents the monetary flow (factor prices and commodity prices). Real flow indicates the factor services flow from household sector to the business sector, and goods and services flow from business sector to the household. The basic identities of the two-sector economy are as under: Y = C + 1 Where Y is Income; C is Consumption; I is investment.

Status of Development: Developed, underdeveloped, undeveloped and developing economies.

Capitalistic Economy (Capitalism): Capitalistic economy is also termed as a free economy (Laissez faire, in Latin) or market economy where the role of the government is minimum and market determines the economic activities. The means of production in a capitalistic economy are privately owned. Manufacturers produce goods and services with profit motive. Example USA, West Germany, Australia and Japan. Socialistic Economy (Socialism): The Father of Socialism is Karl Marx. Socialism refers to a system of total planning, public ownership and state control on economic activities. A Socialistic economy is also known as ‘Planned Economy’ or ‘Command Economy’. In a socialistic economy, all the resources are owned and operated by the government. Public welfare is the main motive behind all economic activities. Example: Russia, China, Vietnam, Poland and Cuba. Mixed Economy (Mixedism): In a mixed economy system both private and public sectors co-exist and work together towards economic development. It is a combination of both capitalism and socialism. It tends to eliminate the evils of both capitalism and socialism.In these economies, resources are owned by individuals and the government. India, Examples: England, France and Brazil.

Red Tapism and Bureaucracy: As decision are taken by government agencies, approval of many officials and movement of files from one table to other takes time and leads to red tapism. 2. Absence of Incentive: The major limitation of socialism is that this system does not provide any incentive for efficiency. Therefore, productivity also suffers. 3. Limited Freedom of Choice: Consumers do not enjoy freedom of choice over the consumption of goods and services. 4. Concentration of Power: The State takes all major decisions. The private takes no initiative in making economic decisions. Hence, the State is more powerful and misuse of power can also take place.

Private industries undertake activities primarily for profit. Public sector firms are owned by the government with a view to maximize social welfare. 3. Economic Planning: The central planning authority prepares the economic plans. National plans are drawn up by the Government and both private and public sectors abide. In general, all sectors of the economy function according to the objectives, priorities and targets laid down in the plan. 4. Solution to Economic Problems: The basic problems of what to produce, how to produce, for whom to produce and how to distribute are solved through the price mechanism as well as state intervention. 5. Freedom and Control: Though private has freedom to own resources, produce goods and ‘ services and distribute the same, the overall control on the economic activities rests with the government.
