18. Copyright © 2004 South-Western SAVING AND INVESTMENT IN THE NATIONAL INCOME ACCOUNTS 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

19. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Some Important Identities closed economyAssume a closed economy – one that does not engage in international trade: Y = C + I + G

20. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Some Important Identities Now, subtract C and G from both sides of the equation: Y – C – G =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).

21. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Some Important Identities Substituting S for Y - C - G, the equation can be written as: S = I

22. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Some Important Identities National saving, or saving, is equal to: S = I S = Y – C – G S = (Y – T – C) + (T – G)

23. Copyright © 2004 South-Western The Meaning of Saving and Investment National Saving National saving is the total income in the economy that remains after paying for consumption and government purchases. Private Saving Private saving is the amount of income that households have left after paying their taxes and paying for their consumption. Private saving = (Y – T – C)

24. Copyright © 2004 South-Western The Meaning of Saving and Investment Public Saving Public saving is the amount of tax revenue that the government has left after paying for its spending. Public saving = (T – G)

25. Copyright © 2004 South-Western The Meaning of Saving and Investment Surplus and Deficit If T > G, the government runs a budget surplus because it receives more money than it spends. The surplus of T - G represents public saving. If G > T, the government runs a budget deficit because it spends more money than it receives in tax revenue. If G = T, the government runs a budget balance because it spends more money than it receives in tax revenue.

26. Copyright © 2004 South-Western The Meaning of Saving and Investment For the economy as a whole, saving must be equal to investment. S = I

27. Copyright © 2004 South-Western THE MARKET FOR LOANABLE FUNDS market for loanable funds.Financial markets coordinate the economy’s saving and investment in the market for loanable funds.

28. Copyright © 2004 South-Western THE MARKET FOR LOANABLE FUNDS The market for loanable funds is the market in which those who want to save supply funds and those who want to borrow to invest demand funds.

29. Copyright © 2004 South-Western THE MARKET FOR LOANABLE FUNDS Loanable fundsLoanable funds refers to all income that people have chosen to save and lend out, rather than use for their own consumption.

30. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Supply and Demand for Loanable Funds The supply of loanable funds comes from people who have extra income they want to save and lend out. The demand for loanable funds comes from households and firms that wish to borrow to make investments.

31. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Supply and Demand for Loanable Funds The interest rate is the price of the loan. It represents the amount that borrowers pay for loans and the amount that lenders receive on their saving. The interest rate in the market for loanable funds is the real interest rate.

32. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Supply and Demand for Loanable Funds Financial markets work much like other markets in the economy. The equilibrium of the supply and demand for loanable funds determines the real interest rate.

35. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Policy 1: Saving Incentives Taxes on interest income substantially reduce the future payoff from current saving and, as a result, reduce the incentive to save.

36. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Policy 1: Saving Incentives A tax decrease increases the incentive for households to save at any given interest rate. The supply of loanable funds curve shifts to the right. The equilibrium interest rate decreases. The quantity demanded for loanable funds increases.

38. Policy 1: Saving Incentives If a change in tax law encourages greater saving, the result will be lower interest rates and greater investment.

39. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Policy 2: Investment Incentives An investment tax credit increases the incentive to borrow. Increases the demand for loanable funds. Shifts the demand curve to the right. Results in a higher interest rate and a greater quantity saved.

40. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Policy 2: Investment Incentives If a change in tax laws encourages greater investment, the result will be higher interest rates and greater saving.

42. Policy 3: Government Budget Deficits and Surpluses When the government spends more than it receives in tax revenues, the short fall is called the budget deficit. The accumulation of past budget deficits is called the government debt.

43. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Policy 3: Government Budget Deficits and Surpluses Government borrowing to finance its budget deficit reduces the supply of loanable funds available to finance investment by households and firms. This fall in investment is referred to as crowding out. The deficit borrowing crowds out private borrowers who are trying to finance investments.

44. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Policy 3: Government Budget Deficits and Surpluses A budget deficit decreases the supply of loanable funds. Shifts the supply curve to the left. Increases the equilibrium interest rate. Reduces the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds.

46. Policy 3: Government Budget Deficits and Surpluses When government reduces national saving by running a deficit, the interest rate rises and investment falls.

50. Summary The U.S. financial system is made up of financial institutions such as the bond market, the stock market, banks, and mutual funds. All these institutions act to direct the resources of households who want to save some of their income into the hands of households and firms who want to borrow.

51. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Summary National income accounting identities reveal some important relationships among macroeconomic variables. In particular, in a closed economy, national saving must equal investment. Financial institutions attempt to match one person’s saving with another person’s investment.

52. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Summary The interest rate is determined by the supply and demand for loanable funds. The supply of loanable funds comes from households who want to save some of their income. The demand for loanable funds comes from households and firms who want to borrow for investment.

53. Copyright © 2004 South-Western Summary National saving equals private saving plus public saving. A government budget deficit represents negative public saving and, therefore, reduces national saving and the supply of loanable funds. When a government budget deficit crowds out investment, it reduces the growth of productivity and GDP.
