Suppose GDP is $8 trillion, taxes are $1.5 trillion, private savings is $0.5 trillion, and public savings is $0.2 trillion. Assuming this economy is closed, calculate consumption, government purchases, national saving and investment.
Suppose GDP in this country is $1,540 million. Enter the amount for government purchases. National Income Account Value (Millions of dollars) Government Purchases (GG) Taxes minus Transfer Payments (TT) 455 Consumption (CC) 700 Investment (II) 490 Complete the following table by using national income accounting identities to calculate private and public saving. In your calculations, use data from the initial table. Private SavingPrivate Saving = = (t-g, y-t-i, c-t,y-c-t) = = million Public SavingPublic Saving = = (t-g, y-t-i, c-t, y-c-t) = = million Based on your calculations, the government is running a budget (surplus, deficit) .
Suppose Indian government borrows 50,000/- more next year than this year. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to analyze this policy. Does the interest rate rise or fall? What happens to investment? To private saving? To public saving? To national saving? Compare the size of the changes to the 50,000/- of extra government borrowing.
