What are the main sources of demand in a closed economy?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
