3
3 Production, Income, and Expenditure
4
4 l Production: Goods, services carried out by domestic agents; firms, self-employed workers, financial institutions, and the government. l Income: Wages and salaries, firms' operating surpluses, property income, and imputed compensation. l Expenditure: Outlays on durable and nondurable final consumption goods and investment.
5
5 Linked by three macroeconomic relationships: l Production and income: total value of production must equal the value of income (excluding transfers) generated domestically. l Income, expenditure, and savings: for any economic agent, income earned plus transfers must be equal to expenditure plus savings. l Savings and asset accumulation: savings plus borrowing must equal asset acquisition for any economic agent.
6
6 A Consistency Accounting Matrix l Current account transactions l Capital account transactions
7
7 Five sets of accounts incorporated in the consistency framework: l The national accounts. l The accounts of the nonfinancial private sector. l The government accounts. l The balance sheets of the financial sector. l The balance of payments.
8
8 Current Account Transactions
9
9 l See Table 8.1 è Rows: sources of finance for each sector. è Columns: uses of finance for each sector. l Ex Post: each sector’s deficit must be financed, sum of rows = sum of columns. l Ex Ante: sectoral balances are constraints.
10
10 National Accounts l Row 1 & Column A, National Accounts: consolidated current-period activities of all production units; è incorporated enterprises (financial and nonfinancial); è informal sector firms; è producers of government services; è production by households for own consumption.
11
11 National Accounts l Row 1, allocation of goods, services produced domestically, Y, or imported, J, between: è government consumption, C g ; è private consumption, C p ; è exports, X; è government and private sector investment, I g and I p, with I = I g + I p.
12
12 National Accounts l Column A, GDP at current market prices, Y, decomposed into types of income generated through sale (plus own consumption) of domestic output; è net indirect taxes: indirect taxes, T I, less subsidies, SUB; è operating surplus of government enterprises, OS g ; è wages and salaries, W, and profits, ; è incomes of the self-employed and own-account producers, Y s.
13

28 Savings-Investment Balance Row 10 & Column J: Total domestic savings finances total investment; l Row 10: total domestic savings; government saving, S g, private saving, S p, plus foreign saving (CA). l Column J: Total investment; government investment, I g, plus private investment, I p.
29
29 National Income Identities and Budget Constraints l Gross domestic product and absorption l The government budget constraint l The private sector budget constraint l The balance sheet of the financial system l The savings-investment balance
30
30 Gross Domestic Product and Absorption l Two approaches for estimating GDP: expenditure approach and value added approach
31
31 l Set row 1 = column A, C g + C p + X + I g + I p = W + + s + OS g + (T I - SUB) + J (1) è GDP at market prices, Y: Y = C + I + X - J, (2) with, C = C p + C g, and I = I p and I g. è GDP at factor cost, Y fc : Y fc = W + + s + OS g (3)
32
32 Y = Y fc + (TI - SUB), l Y: GDP at market price equals Y fc : GDP at factor prices, plus indirect taxes net of subsidies. J - X = A - Y = I - (Y - C) = I - S, l J - X: net imports, equals A-Y: domestic absorption over output, equals I-S: investment over savings. l Reduction in trade deficit requires decrease (increase) in absorption (domestic savings).
33
33 The Government Budget Constraint l Government Revenues/Expenditures, è Row 2 = Column B, T I - SUB + OS g + T D + NT gf = C g + NT pg + (INT pg + INT fg ) + S g (6) or, T g - G = S g (7). è Current public revenues equal current expenditures plus current savings.
34
34 l Government savings and borrowing, è Row 6 = Column F, S g + L gb + B p + FB g = I g (8) è Government savings plus net domestic and foreign borrowing equals physical assets acquired. l Substitute (T g – G) for S g in (8): G + I g - T g = L gb + B p + FB g (9) with, G + I g - T g : overall fiscal deficit, L gb + B p + FB g : sources of deficit financing.
35
35 The Private Sector Budget Constraint l Private Sector Income/Expenditures è Row 4 = Column D, W + + s + NT pg + INT pg + NT pf + NFP pf = C p + T D + INT fp + S p or Y p = CC p + S p (10) with CC p = C p + T D + INT fp Y p = W + + s + NT pg + INT pg + NT pf + NFP pf
36
36 Private Sector Saving/Borrowing è Row 8 = Column H: S p + L pb + FB p = I p + B p + M (11) Substituting (Y p – CC p ) for S p in (11) l Private sector budget constraint: Y p - CC p + L pb + FB p = I p + B p + M è Private sector income plus borrowing net of expenditures equals asset acquisitions; money, physical investment, and lending to the government.
37
37 The External Sector Budget Constraint External sector income/expenditures l Row 5 = Column E, J + INT fg + INT fp = X + NT gf + NT pf + NFP pf + CA.
38
38 External sector saving/borrowing l Row 9 = Column I, CAD = FB g + FB p - R * l CA deficit financing via, è increasing net foreign borrowing; è drawing down reserves.
39
39 External sector budget constraint: J - X = F - R *, with, J: J + INT fg + INT fp ; X: X + NT gf + NT pf + NFP pf ; è gross payments by domestic economy, J; sum of imports and all interest payments on external debt; è gross receipts to the domestic economy, X; exports plus net transfers; è and net factor payments from abroad.
40
40 The Balance Sheet of the Financial System l Pure Intermediary: not budget constraint per se, but rather a balance sheet accounting identity. l Row 7 = Column G, L + R * = M, with L = L gb + L pb, R* = M - L
41
41 l Increases (decreases) in domestic credit ( L), with money demand unchanged, result in decreases (increases) in foreign reserves.
42
42 The Savings-Investment Balance l Add budget constraints of the government and private sectors to yield: S + L + F = I + M. l Given that F = J - X + R *, l Then S + L + (J - X) + R * = I + M
43
43 Savings-investment balance : l With L + R * = M, we have, I = S + (J - X) l Domestic investment, I, financed by domestic savings, S, and foreign saving, J - X, (e.g. the current account deficit, CA).
44
44 A Three-Good Model with Banks
45
45 Open-economy macroeconomic model l Accounting relationships integrated with behavioral equations to analyze transmission process of macroeconomic policy and exogenous shocks. l 5 agents: households, producers, commercial banks, the government, and the central bank. l All households, firms, banks are identical in endowments and behavior. l Exchange rate fixed. l Economy produces two goods: home good and exportable good. l Fixed capital stock and perfect labor mobility.
46
46 Households l Supply labor inelasticaly. l Consume both home and importable goods. l Four types of financial assets: domestic money, bank deposits, domestic bonds, and foreign bonds. l Financial assets are imperfect substitutes. l Consumption decisions: two stage process.
47
47 l Stage 1: Consumption determined by, C = (1 - s)(Y - T), 0 < s < 1, (20) Y: net factor income, T: lump-sum taxes, s: marginal propensity to save.
48
48 l Stage 2: consumption of imported goods (C I ) and home goods (C N ) by, C I = (1 - )C, (21) : share of home goods in private expenditures. P N C N = EC (22) l Using (20), (22) rewritten as, C N = zC = z(1 - s)(Y - T) (23) z E/P N : real exchange rate.
49
49 l Asset Demand Equations: Money Demand: M d = M d (i b,Y) (24) Demand for Bank Deposits: D p = D p (i d,i b,Y) (25) - + + - + l Demand for Foreign Bonds : B* = (i* + a - i b ), > 0, (26) i * : interest rate spread of foreign minus domestic bonds, a : expected nominal exchange rate devaluation, : degree of substitutability, or capital mobility in fixed income markets.
50
50 l Uncovered Interest Parity Condition: i b = i * + a holds, when , e.g. perfect capital mobility. l Using (24), (25), and (26), demand function for domestic bonds, B given by, B = W - M d - D p - B *.
51
51 Firms and the Labor Market Working capital needs financed via commercial banks. Total Production Costs: l Labor costs (only) plus interest payments on bank loans.
52
52 l Maximization problem written as: max Y h - h N h - i L L h, (27) h: as exportable (h = X) and non-tradable goods (h = N) Y h : output of good h, N h : quantity of labor employed in sector h, h : product wage in sector h, L h : bank loans obtained by firm operating in sector h, i L : nominal bank lending rate. YhYh
53
53 l Output-employment relationship, N h = Y h , > 1, (28) decreasing returns to labor. l Firm’s financial constraint: L h h N h, (29) bank loans must cover labor cost.
54
54 è Output supply inversely related to the effective product wage h (1+i L ). l Labor demand [(30) into (28)]: N h d = N h d [ h (1+i L )], N h d < 0 (31) l Maximizing (27) subject to (28) and (29) yields, h (1+i L ) 1/( -1) {} Y h s = 1 (30)
55
55 l Firm’s demand for credit: L h d = w h N h d = L h d [w h,i L ]. (32) è Wage increase both raises labor costs and lowers demand for labor. - ?
56
56 Wage determination l Wages are perfectly flexible. l Zero unemployment: perfect labor mobility across sectors. l Exportable/nontradable sector wages related by, l N = z X (33) l Equilibrium real wage negatively related to the real exchange rate and the bank lending rate, X = W X (z,i L ) (34) - -
57
57 l Output of exportables (home goods) is positively (negatively) related to the real exchange rate. l Demand for credit, L d, in terms of exportables, Sectoral supply equations: l Substituting (33) and (34) into (30) yields, Y X s = Y X s (z,i L ), Y N s = Y N s (z,i L ) (35) - - + - L d = L X d + z -1 L N d = L d (z,i L ) - -
58
58 Commercial Bank l Bank assets: credit extended to firms, L s, and reserves held at the central bank, RR. l Bank liabilities: deposits held by households, D p. D p = L s + RR RR = D p, : coefficient of reserve requirements.
59
59 l Supply of credit: L s = (1 - )D p l Under zero-profit conditions, lending/deposit rates, i L = i d / (1 - ) l Credit supply given by, L s = (1 - )D p [(1- )i L,i b,Y].
60
60 Government and the Central Bank l Government: è levies lump-sum taxes on households; è consumes home goods, in quantity G N. l Central Bank: è ensures the costless conversion of domestic currency holdings into foreign currency at the prevailing fixed exchange rate, E; è lends only to the government; è does not engage in sterilized intervention.
61
61 l Real money supply, M s, given by M s = L g +R *, R * : foreign currency reserves. L g : credit to the government (exogenously determined). R * : determined by the balance of payments; capital and current accounts, R * = Y X s - C I - B *, substituting, R * = Y X s - (1 - )C + (i b - i * - a ).
62
62 Credit Market Equilibrium condition: L s = L d Equilibrium bank lending rate: Money Market: Equilibrium condition: M s = M d (i b,Y) Solving for i b yields, i L = i L (z,i b ). ?+ Equilibrium Conditions. ê i b i L ê z, ambiguous, why? êreal depreciation causes increase in output and demand for bank deposits, lowering lending rate. êand raises demand for loans, causing an increase in lending rate to maintain credit market equilibrium. i b = i b (z,i L ;M s ) - --
63
63 l Can be solved for the equilibrium real exchange rate as, z = (i L ;T,G N ). The market for home goods l Equilibrium condition of the market for home goods, C N + G N - Y N s = 0. - + - l Thus, an increase in bank lending, or government spending on home goods requires an appreciation of the real exchange rates, z falls.
64
64 Extensions : Model can be applied to variety of macroeconomic issues: l Effects of changes in government spending on the real exchange rate, domestic interest rates, and capital flows. l Study terms of trade shocks: Unlike a dependent- economy framework, the production structure adopted here allows a distinction between the terms of trade and the real exchange rate (Figure 8.4). l Credit market imperfections, introduced through mark-up pricing by banks (see Agénor and Aizenman, 1999).
65

66
67
67 l Production of importables and imported intermediate inputs can also be integrated in the analysis. Two Limitations l Behavioral functions for consumption and asset demand functions are postulated rather than derived from microeconomic considerations. l The static nature of the model implies that the stock budget constraints that the various agents faced are not explicitly accounted for.
68
68 An Intertemporal Framework
69
69 l Intertemporal model: addresses limitations of three- good model presented earlier; è explicitly derives behavioral rules from an optimization framework; è accounts for agents’ flow and stock budget constraints in a dynamic setting, ensuring across periods. l Useful in understanding current account deficits.
70
70 Basic Structure: l Two-period model. l No financial assets. l Only one good. l Assumes perfect foresight, optimal behavior of individual agents, and perfect capital mobility. l Output is supply determined with full employment assumed.
71
71 l GNP, Y, given as, Y = Q + Z, Q: GDP; Z: net factor payments from abroad. Y + R = C + S p + T thus GNP, Y, plus net unilateral transfers from abroad, R, can be used for consumption, savings and taxes.
72
72 l Current Account Surplus, CA, defined in three equivalent ways: è exports minus imports of goods and services plus unilateral transfers and net factor payments from abroad (income transfers, for short), CA = X - J + Z + R, è national income minus domestic absorption, CA = Y - (C + I + G) + R,
73
73 è national saving minus domestic investment, CA = S - I, with S = S p + S g.
74
74 Model: l Two periods; present (t = 1) and future (t = 2). l Single household with utility function U(C 1,C 2 ), l Supply Side of Model: Y 1 0 and Y 2 0 initial endowments (income) for each agent in periods 1 and 2.
75
75 l Intertemporal investment decisions: output in the second period Y 2, is linked to the endowment Y 2 0 through the following relationship: Y 2 =Y 2 0 + I 1 , 0 < < 1 with I 1 = Y 1 0 - C 1
76
76 Return on marginal project, 1+r: l Ratio of return to cost; - C 2 / C 1 = 1 + r. l Production possibility frontier (PPF): Figure 8.5, slope given by -(1+r). l In autarchy, household's PPF = consumption possibility frontier. l Equilibrium at tangency between PPF and consumer indifference curves.
77
77
78
78 l Household (country) maximization problem: max U(C 1,C 2 ), subject to production constraint, F(C 1 -Y 1 0,C 2 - Y 2 0 ) = 0 C1, C2C1, C2 l Solution found at F 1 /F 2 = U C1 /U C2, è F 1 /F 2 = 1 + r, è U C1 /U C2 = 1 + . = r.
79
79 l In autarchy, savings must necessarily equal investment. l serves as the ex post discount rate and the autarchy interest rate, i. ~
80
80 Financial Openness: l If world interest rate, i *, is lower than the autarchy interest rate i, it is optimal to run a current account deficit (capital account surplus). l Maximize the present value of profits, PV, given by, PV = I 1 /(1 + i) * - I 1 l With financial openness, i domestic converges to i * foreign. l Firms will increase investment, I 1, until the rate of return on the marginal project, r, equals the world interest rate.
81
81 l Figure 8.5 shows the effect of financial openness on investment levels demonstrating with isovalue lines and the tranformation function. l Isovalue line: maximum level of wealth, W 1, H + Y 2 /(1 +i * ) = Y 1 0 + Y 2 0 /(1 + i * ) + PV m W1 W1 l Household’s intertemporal budget constraint C 1 + C 2 /(1 +i * ) = Y 1 0 + Y 2 0 /(1 + i * ) + PV m W1 W1
82
82 l First period budget constraint, l C 1 = Y 1 0 + L 1 - I 1 l Second-period budget constraint, C 2 = Y 2 0 + I 1 - (1 + i * )L 1 L 1 : first period borrowing -(1 + i * )L 1 : gross repayment in second period.
83
83 Current Account l Period 1, CA, (surplus) CA 1 = Y 1 0 - C 1 - I 1 e.g. domestic savings minus investment and also equal to the trade balance, TB 1. l Period 2, CA, CA 2 = Y 2 - C 2 - i * L 1
84
84 Intertemporal solvency: l Discounted sum of first period and second period trade accounts equal zero: TB 1 + TB 2 /(1 + i * ) = 0. l Current account CA 1 + (CA 2 - L 1 )/(1 + i * ) = 0. l Homothetic utility function: given i, ratio of consumption in two periods is independent of wealth level. l See Figure 8.5.
