Suppose private savings is $2 trillion and public savings is $1.1 trillion. Under the assumption that this is a closed economy, calculate:
1) National savings
2) Investment
For a closed economy,
Public savings = government savings = government revenue - government spending. Private savings is disposable income minus consumption i.e. the amount that is available for investment.
1)
National savings = public savings + private savings = 1.1 + 2 = $3.1 trillion
2)
Private savings is disposable income minus consumption i.e. the amount that is available for investment.
Investment = Private savings = $2 trillion.

Question 4
4. Consider the following information for a closed economy. Y = $12 trillion, C = $8 trillion, G = $2 trillion, Spublic $-0.5 trillion and T = $2 trillion. 1. What is private savings for this economy? 2. What is investment spending for this economy? 3. What are the transfer payments for this economy? 4.

Problem 1 (10 marks) Suppose GDP equals $300 trillion, consumption equals $24 trillion, the government spends $3 trillion and has a budget deficit of $500 billion. Find public saving, taxes, private saving, national saving, and investment.
Recall that national savings (S) is the sum of private savings and public savings. S = SP + S a. Show that private savings can be written as a function of investment, the current account and the government's budget deficit. (3 marks) b. Show that the current account can be written as a function of private savings, investment and the government's budget deficit. What does this imply about the ways that the government can reduce the current account deficit? (3...
