A decision you can investigate
- Saving interrupts a round of household consumption. A firm’s investment can add spending without waiting for that household to consume. Imports send part of demand to foreign production.
- Follow the flow rather than treating every cross-border payment as a domestic injection 注入.
Build the explanation
- Investment I, government purchases G and exports X are injections into the spending flow. Saving S, taxation T and imports M are withdrawals from the domestic circular flow. Saving may finance investment through financial institutions, but a decision to save is not automatically a matching decision to invest immediately. Taxation and public purchases have different effects and need not move together.
- In a simple planned-income model, injections exceeding withdrawals create upward spending pressure; withdrawals exceeding injections create downward pressure. At equilibrium, planned injections equal planned withdrawals under the model. Ex-post accounting includes inventory changes and other adjustments, so an observed equality is not proof that firms sold everything they planned to sell or that output is at potential.
Work through the evidence
- Fictional planned injections are I 80+G 100+X 60=240. Withdrawals are S 70+T 90+M 50=210. Net injections= 240−210=30, implying upward pressure on income in the fixed-price model, other plans unchanged. If imports increase to 80 with other stated values fixed, withdrawals become 240 and the planned net gap is zero.
- An import purchase may be included inside C, I or G before M is deducted. Do not count it as an independent domestic injection too. A public cash benefit is a transfer rather than G purchases; it can affect recipients’ C or S. A foreign purchase of existing domestic shares is a financial transaction, not X exports of current goods/services.
What is the initial planned net-injection gap?

240 injections minus 210 withdrawals equals 30.
With imports 80 and other values unchanged, what is the gap?

Withdrawals 70+90+80 equal 240.
Equilibrium national income can lie below the full-capacity level of output.

True. Planned injections can equal withdrawals at an income below potential output, leaving spare capacity and unemployment.
Test the limits
- The 30 spending gap is not the final increase in income: induced withdrawals, capacity and prices determine adjustment. If income rises, imports, saving and taxes often rise too; higher withdrawals can help close the initial gap. A fixed-price model is more plausible with spare capacity than at full use.
- Transfers and financial transactions require accounting care. Government can borrow rather than matching tax and purchases in the same period; the economic effect depends on financing and responses. A circular-flow equilibrium can still contain unemployment, inequality or external costs, so neither equilibrium nor a zero net gap proves an ideal allocation.
Which is an export injection in this model?

Exports concern current goods/services; financial ownership and saving are different flows.
Apply and explain your answer
- Why does the initial 30 injection gap not justify forecasting a final income rise of exactly 30?
- Further spending rounds and induced withdrawals can magnify or offset the initial gap, while price and capacity changes can limit real output.

Use each term for its stated economic relationship.
Use the terms precisely
- injection: Spending entering the domestic circular flow through investment, public purchases or exports.
- withdrawal 漏出: Income leaving domestic spending rounds through saving, taxation or imports.
Fictional planned injections are I 80+G 100+X 60=240. Withdrawals are S 70+T 90+M 50=210.

Write from net injections of 30
- Planned injections are investment 50, government purchases 70 and exports 40.
- Withdrawals are saving 40, tax 60 and imports 30. Then imports rise to 60 and the other plans stay fixed.
Injections are investment 50, government purchases 70 and exports 40. Withdrawals are saving 40, tax 60 and imports 30. What is the planned net injection, and what is it after imports rise to 60?
Net injections are planned injections minus withdrawals. A higher import withdrawal can close the gap.
What is the planned net injection before imports rise?

160 minus 130 is 30. The zero gap belongs to the later import figure. Other options — 0 (the gap after imports rise to 60); 160 (the total of the injections).
