Capital and Investment
Capital Stock (K)• Total amount of capital measured at a given point in
time.Gross investment (I)
• total amount spent on purchases of new capital and on replacing depreciated capital.
Depreciation (capital consumption allowance)• decrease in the quantity of capital that results from wear
and tear and obsolescence.Net investment (IN)
• change in the quantity of capital.• I - CCA
K(t) = K(t-1) + IN

Saving (S)• the amount of income that is not paid in taxes or
spent on consumption goods and services. Wealth increases with

• The market influences– Saving and investment– Interest rates
![Page 9: Chapter 7: Savings and Investment](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/56815f65550346895dce5ea4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Market for Loanable Funds
The market for loanable funds is the aggregate of all the individual financial markets.
Funds that Finance Investment
1. Household saving S
2. Government budget surplus (T -Tr – G)
3. Loans from the rest of the world (M – X)
Because Income Side of GDP = Expenditure Side of GDP
C + S + (T-Tr) = C + I + G + (X-M)
I = S + (T-Tr)-G + (M-X)

The Market for Loanable Funds
Nominal interest rate • More specific name for “interest rate”• Not adjusted for effects of inflation• ($ of interest / $ of principal) per period of time
Real interest rate • nominal interest rate adjusted to remove the effects
of inflation on the purchasing power of money.• nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate.

The Market for Loanable Funds
Demand for loanable funds
the relationship between the quantity of loanable funds demanded and the real interest rate, ceteris paribus.
Business investment is the main item that makes up the demand for loanable funds.

The Global Loanable Funds Market
• The loanable funds market is global, not national.
• Financial capital is mobile: It moves to the best advantage of lenders and borrowers.
• Because lenders are free to seek the highest real interest rate and borrowers are free to seek the lowest real interest rate, the loanable funds market is a single, integrated, global market.
• Funds flow into the country in which the real interest rate is highest and out of the country in which the real interest rate is lowest.
![Page 24: Chapter 7: Savings and Investment](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051700/56815f65550346895dce5ea4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Global Loanable Funds Market
International Borrowing and Lending If a country’s net exports are negative,
• Country is a net borrower• quantity of loanable funds in that country is greater
than national saving. If a country’s net exports are positive,
• the country is a net lender• the quantity of loanable funds in that country is less
than national saving.
