Khan Academy: Using a Person's Budget to Understand the Balance of Payments

Curated by ACT

Just like a personal budget, the balance of payments uses the sources of funds and uses of funds to track the movement of money. In this article, we use a young wizard's budget to make the balance of payments more relatable. This resource is designed as a review for the AP Macroeconomics Test or a college-level macroeconomics course.
