( In order to invest in productive capital, businesses need to borrow from other peoples savings )
( Savings of a country is called National Savings ( NS )
( Private Savings + Government Savings = National Savings (NS)
Example If we make $1000(GDP), and get $100 in Transfers(pensions) and pay $500 in taxes, consumption of
500, what is Yd)
( 1000 + 100 - 500 = 600 )
( Private Savings = GDP + TR - T - C ) → 600 - 500 = 100 )
Closed Private Investment = National Saving ( A closed economy has no international trade ) ( NS = I )
Economy ( GDP = C + I + G ) ( S Private = GDP + TR - T - C ) ( S Government = T - G - TR ) ( NS = Sp + Sg )
If IM > E or KI > 0, ( we are investing more than our savings. So we have to borrow from foreign
( KI is positive and NX is negative )
If IM < E or KI < 0 ( we are investing less than our savings, we cn loan money from foreign
( KI is negative and nX is positive )
Ex: GDP is 500, C is 100, G is 50, exports are 50, imports are 100, taxes are 100
Sp = GDP _ TR + T - C → 500 - 100 - 100 = 300
Sg = T - TR - G → 100 - 0 - 50 = 50
NS = Sp + Sg = 300 + 50 = 350
Investment = GDP - C - G - NX → 500 - 100 - 50 - ( 50 - 100 ) → 500 - 100 - 50 + 50 = 400 )
( If I = 400 and NS = 350, you need to borrow $50 so KI, capital inflow would be 50 )
Import more We will need to borrow money from overseas, here the NX will be negative, replace with KI
than Export ( NS + KI = I or I - NS = KI ) ( Borrowing is capital inflow )
Ex: We have 100 Billion in Private Savings, -50 billion in government savings, 10 billion of capital inflow
( NS = Sp + Sg → 100 = (-50 ) = 50 billion ) ( NS + KI = I → 50 + 10 = 60 Billion )
Interest Rates Real = increase in purchasing power on investment ( the actual interest you make in savings )
Nominal = nominal increase earned on investment, which covers any change in purchasing power
( the interest rate that banks to quote you ) ( Real Interest Rate + Inflation Rate )
( Inflation is 2%, you want to earn 5%, real returns on an investment is ( 5% + 2% = 7% )
( Interest rate is like the loanable funds, so rate affects Qd and supplied of loanable funds
Rate of Return ( Revenue from Project - Cost of Project / Cost of Project ) 100
( Businesses will want a loan as long as the Rate of Return > or = the interest rate )
( Be sure the project earns more than just saving your money ) ( Q of LF is on X, Interest rate is on P )
( Demand from firms investment, Supply is national savings ( Sp and Sg )
Equilibrium ( 3% is the rate at equilibrium ) ( Q LF 1 is at equilibrium ) ( Rate of return is going to be higher than 3% )(
( Borrowing and rate of returns is higher than 3%, below is loaning and lending at 3% or less )
( In Equilibrium = Private Savings + Government Savings = Supply = Investment ( Demand )
( Supply of loanable funds comes from private savings and government savings )
( Demand for Loanable Funds comes from private firms for investment )
( In the interest rate of 4%, demand moves to new Qd, Supply moves to new Qd )
( QD = 300 ) ( QS = 550 ) ( Surplus of 250, one wants to borrow
( decreasing rates to go back to equilibrium will raise chances of borrowing )
Supply = 0.002Q
R = 0.002(0) → 0 ( R = 0 )
Equilibrium
0.07 - 0.001Q = 0.002Q → 0.07 = 0.003Q → Q = 23.33
R = ( 0.07 - 0.001(23.33) → → 0.07 - 0.02333 = 0.04667 ) ( 0.002(23.33) = 0.047 )
( 4.7% and 23.33 is equilibrium ) ( Projected Revenue = 100,500 ) ( Estimated Cost = 93,000 )
ROR = ( Revenue - Cost / Cost ) 100 ) → ( 100,500 - 93,000 / 93,000 ) 100 = 8.06%
Financing Taxation: Higher income taxes will decrease or crowd out consumption (C), which will partially cancel out
the effect of the increase in Government spending (G)
2. Selling bonds to the public: The government will sell bonds to borrow money.
( increased rate of return on bonds will make interest rates higher )
( higher rates decrease or crowd out investments )
Crowding Out ( a situation in which the government spending decreases private investment
( The larger the government deficit the less investment there will be by firms because there is an increase
in the interest rate ( money is more expensive to borrow )
( Example is governments have to borrow money from our private savings to pay off their
debts, leaving less money for firm investment → only good if invested in infrastructure
Policies for 1: Provide good institutional structure (good transportation systems, reliable financial systems)
Promoting ( Laws, justice system ) ( Minimal “red tape” ) ( Don’t support dying industries )
Growth 2: Invest in public goods ( healthcare and education ). mitigations against natural disasters
3. Incentives for personal saving and international investment spending ( EG. tax deductions )
( With tax deductions, interest rates decreases, private savings increase and shift to the right, for private
investments, the demand also increases ) ( Quantity for LF increases )
Crowding Out Government Deficit ( SG is negative ) ( Red tape is barriers to entry )
( Quantity for LF will decrease, interest rates will increase, savings(SG.SP) supply decreases, shifts left,
Private investment decreases )
