chap 5 Flashcards
what flows are recorded in the BALANCES OF PAYMENT ACCOUNT ?
- BOP : transactions WITH the rest of the world
BOP = CA + FA + KA
Additionals flows such as cross border flows, etc
what flows are recorded in the NATIONAL INCOME AND PRODUCT ACCOUNT ?
- Transactions WITHIN the home country
- Aggregate economic activity
- various points in the circular flow of payments
What is gross national expenditure (GNE) ?
- It is the total expenditure on final goods and services in any given period
Formula for GNE?
GNE = C + I + G
C : personal consumption
I : investment
G : government expenditure
what is Gross domestic product (GDP) ?
- It is the value of all (intermediate and final goods) goods and services produced as output by firms
What is Gross national income ?
- It value of all income is paid to domestic entities (in close economy)
what measure you can find in a close economy ?
- GNE
- GDP
- GNI
what measure you can find in a open economy ?
Current Account (CA) :
- Trade balance TB (between GNE and GDP)
- NFIA : Net Factor Income from abroad (between GDP and GNI)
what is trade balances ?
- It is the differences between payments made for imports and payments received for exports
Formula for GDP (open economy)
GNE + TB = GDP
the total value of production in the economy
What is NFIA ?
- Net factor income from abroad :
It is the value of factor service export minus factor service
What is NUT ?
- Net Unilateral Transfer :
It equals the value of unilateral transfer the country received from the rest of the world minus those gave to the world
NUT = UTin - UTout
what is unilateral transfer ?
- They are considered non market transactions
such as Gifts : they are different kind of transaction
What is GNDI?
- It is Gross National Disposable income
- A combination of of GNI and NUT
- Represent the total income resource available to the home country
what is Current Account (CA) ?
- It is the combination of all international transactions I goods, service and income
What is Financial account (FA) ? (Simplify version)
- The value of assets exports minus seats import
- Net assets export is added to GNDI
What is capital account ? (simplify version)
- It is the value of transfers from the rest of the world minus THOSE to the rest world
what re the approaches to measuring economic activity ?
- The expenditure approach (look demand for goods ) (GNE)
- Product Approach (look supply for goods ) (GDP)
- Income Approach (GNDI) (payments made)
Formula for GDP:
GDP = C + I + G + ( EX - IM )
C: comsunption
I: investment
G :government
( EX - IM ): TB trade balances
EX: all exports
IM : all imports
Formula for GNI:
GNI: C + I + G + ( EX - IM ) + ( EXfs -IMfs )
C + I + G: GNE
( EX - IM) : Trade balances
( EXfs -IMfs ) : NFIA
Formula for GNDI :
GNDI (Y) = GNE + TB + NFIA + NUT
GNDI (Y) = GNI + NUT
GNDI = GNE + CA
Formula for National Saving :
S = I + CA
S = Y - C -G
Formula for Current Account
CA = S - I
CA = (Sp + Sg ) - I
Formula for Private saving (Sp) :
Sp = Y - T - C (after tax)
