saving and investment in the national income accounts
the bond market, stock market, banks and investment funds are important in the economy's
saving and investment, which are important for long run growth in gdp and living standards.
key macro economic variables;
Recall that GDP is both total income in an economy and total expenditure on the economy’s
output of goods and services:
Y = C + I + G + NX
y= gdp
c= consumption
i= investment
g= government purchases
nx= net exports
soms word het = teken met drie streepjes, omdat beide kanten gelijk zijn
open economies= interact with other economies around the world
closed economy= one that doesnt interact with other economies, doesnt engage in
international trade in goods and services and doenst engage in international borrowing and
lending
- Y=C+I+G
Now, subtract C and G from both sides of the equation:
Y–C–G =C+I+G–C–G
Now we have:
Y–C–G=I
Y – C – G is called National Saving (S), and for the whole economy it must be equal
to Investment. → S = I
The left side of the equation is the total income in the economy after paying for consumption
and government purchases and is called national saving, or just saving (S).
National Saving or saving, is equal to:
S=Y–C–G–T+T
S = (Y – T – C) + (T – G)
, t= taxes
(Y – T – C) = Private Saving
(T – G) = Public saving
private saving; the income that households have left after paying for taxes and consumption
public saving; the tax revenue that the government has left after paying for its spending
budget surplus; where government tax revenue is greater than spending bc it receives more
money than it spends. if T exceeds G. this surplus of t-g represents public saving
budget deficit; where government tax revenue is less than spending and the government has
to borrow to finance spending. G larger than t, T-G is a negative number. government has to
borrow money
government deficit; situation where government spends more than it generates in tax
revenue over period
national debt; accumulation of the total debt owed by the government
the market for loanable funds
savers → Market for Loanable Funds → borrowers
= the market in which those who want to save supply funds, and those who want to borrow
to invest demand funds
supply and demand for loanable funds
The supply of loanable funds comes from The Savers → people who have some extra
income they want to save and lend out.
The demand for loanable funds comes from The Borrowers (investment) → wish to
borrow to make investments.
The (real) interest rate is the price of the loan.The equilibrium of the supply and demand for
loanable funds determines the real interest rate. The difference between the nominal interest
rate and the inflation rate.
nominal interest rate; rate usually reported
because of inflation, the real interest rate more reflects the real return to saving and cost of
borrowing. the interest rate is about the real interest rate.
