Saving and Investment in the National Income Accounts
• Recall: GDP is both total income in an economy and the total expenditure on the economy’s output of goods and services:
Y = C + I + G + NX• Assume a closed economy (NX=0):
Y = C + I + G• National Saving or Saving is equal to:
Y - C - G = I = S
![Page 11: Harcourt Brace & Company Chapter 25 Saving, Investment and the Financial System.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649f045503460f94c18aa8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Harcourt Brace & Company
Saving and Investment in the National Income Accounts
• National Saving or Saving is equal to:
Y - C - G = I = S or
S = (Y - T - C) + (T - G)where “T” = taxes net of transfers
• Two components of national saving:
Private Saving = (Y - T - C)
Public Saving = (T - G)
![Page 12: Harcourt Brace & Company Chapter 25 Saving, Investment and the Financial System.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649f045503460f94c18aa8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Harcourt Brace & Company
For Example
• IF Y=$6,000, T=$1,000, C=$4,000 and G=$1,200, then
• I=S=$800 (Y-C-G)• Private Savings=$1000 (Y-T-C)• Public Savings=-$200 (T-G)
![Page 13: Harcourt Brace & Company Chapter 25 Saving, Investment and the Financial System.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649f045503460f94c18aa8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Saving and Investment
• Private Saving is the amount of income that households have left after paying their taxes and paying for their consumption.
• Public Saving is the amount of tax revenue that the government has left after paying for its spending.
• For the economy as a whole, saving must be equal to investment.
![Page 14: Harcourt Brace & Company Chapter 25 Saving, Investment and the Financial System.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649f045503460f94c18aa8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Financial markets coordinate the economy’s saving and investment in
The Loanable Funds Market• The Supply of Loanable Funds comes
from private and public savings.• The Demand for Loanable Funds
comes from households and firms who wish to borrow.

Movement to equilibrium is
consistent with principles of supply
and demand.

Harcourt Brace & Company
The Market For Loanable Funds
• The supply and demand for loanable funds depends on the real interest rate. Movement to equilibrium is the process of determining the real interest rate in the economy.
• Saving represents the supply of loanable funds, while investment represents demand.
![Page 21: Harcourt Brace & Company Chapter 25 Saving, Investment and the Financial System.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649f045503460f94c18aa8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Government Policy That Affects The Economy’s Saving and Investment
• Policies that influence the loanable funds market:
–Taxes and Saving (Fig. 25-2)
–Taxes and Investment (Fig. 25-3)
–Gov. Budget Deficits (Fig. 25-4)
• Observe how policy affects equilibrium, interest rates and funds.

Government Policy That Affects The Economy’s Saving and Investment
• Taxes on savings impact the incentive to save, e.g. A tax decrease would alter the incentive for households to save at any given interest rate and would affect the supply of loanable funds.

• A Tax Break on investment would increase the incentive to borrow if an investment tax credit were given.

Government Policy That Affects The Economy’s Saving and Investment
• Government Budget Deficit:– When the government spends more than
it receives in tax revenues
– the accumulation of past budget deficits is called the government debt.
![Page 31: Harcourt Brace & Company Chapter 25 Saving, Investment and the Financial System.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649f045503460f94c18aa8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Harcourt Brace & Company
Government Policy That Affects The Economy’s Saving and Investment
• When the government borrows to finance its budget deficit, it reduces the supply of loanable funds available to finance investment by households and firms.
• This deficit borrowing “crowds out” the private borrowers who are trying to finance investments.
![Page 32: Harcourt Brace & Company Chapter 25 Saving, Investment and the Financial System.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649f045503460f94c18aa8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Crowding Out
Defined as the “fall in investment as a result of increased government
borrowing”

Conclusion
• Financial markets coordinate borrowing and lending and thereby help allocate the economy’s scarce resources efficiently.
• Financial markets are like other markets in the economy. The price in the loanable funds market - interest rate - is governed by the forces of supply and demand.
