26

A

S = Y - C - G
or

A

CA = S - I

28

A

is greater than investment (S>I)

29
Q

when there is a CA deficit (CA<0), it means that national saving…

A

is lower than investment (S

30
Q

national saving can be decomposed in …

A

private saving (Sp) and government saving (Sg)

31
Q

what is private saving?

A

the part of disposable income (national income minus taxes) that is saved rather than consumed

32
Q

what is the private saving identity?

A

Sp = Y - T - C
or
Sp = I + CA - (T - G)

33
Q

what is government saving?

A

tax revenue minus government purchases

34
Q

what is the gvnmt saving identity?

A

Sg = T - G

35
Q

what happens when T

A

tax revenue does not cover gvnmt expenditures, the gvnmt issues debt to finance the deficit

36
Q

  • purchases of foreign assets (CA)
  • purchases of domestic gvnmt debt (issued to finance T>G)

  • financial account (FA)
  • capital account (KA)
39

A

CA: flows of G&S (IM & EX), interest and dividend payments, unilateral transfers

40
Q

A

small

43

sales of domestic assets to foreigners - purchases of foreign assets by domestic citizens

44
Q

FA: are sales of domestic assets to foreigners a financial inflow or outflow (credit or debit)?

A

it is a financial inflow = credit (+)

because the domestic economy acquires money during the transaction

45
Q

FA: are purchases of foreign assets by domestic citizens a financial inflow or outflow (credit or debit)?

A

it is a financial outflow = debit (-)

because the domestic economy gives up money during the transaction

46

A

CA + FA + KA = 0

50
Q

how does the BoP records a canadian purchase of a Fiat from Italy paying 30K CAD dollars?

A

CAD CA = -30K

CAD FA = +30K because foreigners are acquiring a CAD asset (CAD dollars)

51
Q
