Question:

What are the main sources of demand in a closed economy?

Options:

Consumption, government spending, and domestic investment

Consumption, net exports and government spending

Consumption, government spending, domestic investment and net exports

Government spending, net exports and domestic investment

Correct Answer:

Consumption, government spending, and domestic investment

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → Consumption, government spending, and domestic investment

  • A closed economy is one that does not engage in foreign trade — meaning no exports or imports.

  • Therefore, net exports = 0.

In such an economy, total demand (Aggregate Demand) comes only from domestic sources, which are:

Aggregate Demand (AD)=C+I+G where:

  • C = Consumption expenditure by households

  • I = Investment expenditure by firms

  • G = Government expenditure
