These payments are considered to be exhaustive because they do not directly absorb resources or create output. In other words, the transfer is made without any exchange of goods or services. Examples of certain transfer payments include welfare (financial aid). Interest on public debt, social security, and government making subsidies for certain businesses (firms).
