宏觀經(jīng)濟學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)筆記【6】-saving and investment in the national income accoun
For a simplification, assuming a closed economy is easy and it can apply the world economy, thus we can write Y=C+I+G. To expound?financial?markets, we obtain Y-C-G=I. The left side of this equation(Y-C-G) is called NATIONAL SAVING, or just SAVING(S), which denotes the total income in the economy that remains after paying for consumption and government purchases. Therefore,?
Y - C - G = S = I
Let T denote the amount that the government collects from households in taxes minus the amount it pays back to households in the form of transfer payments.
S = ( Y - T - C ) + ( T - G )
Private saving (Y - T - C) is the income that households have left after paying for taxes and consumption.?
Public saving (T-G) is the amount of tax revenue that the government has left after paying for its spending.?
If T>G, the government runs a budget surplus. Conversely, it runs a budget deficit.
For the economy as a whole, saving must be equal to investment. The mechanism coordinating them is the financial system.
