In this chapter, look for the answers to these questions:
• What are the main types of financial institutions in the U.S. economy, and what is their function?
• What are the three kinds of saving?
• What’s the difference between saving and investment?
• How does the financial system coordinate saving and investment?
• How do govt policies affect saving, investment, and the interest rate?

A C T I V E L E A R N I N G 1
Answers, part A
Given: Y = 10.0, C = 6.5, G = 2.0, G – T = 0.3
Public saving = T – G = – 0.3
Taxes: T = G – 0.3 = 1.7
Private saving = Y – T – C = 10 – 1.7 – 6.5 = 1.8
National saving = Y – C – G = 10 – 6.5 = 2 = 1.5
Investment = national saving = 1.5

B. How a tax cut affects saving
Use the numbers from the preceding exercise, but suppose now that the government cuts taxes by $200 billion.
In each of the following two scenarios, determine what happens to public saving, private saving, national saving, and investment.
1. Consumers save the full proceeds of the tax cut.
2. Consumers save 1/4 of the tax cut and spend the other 3/4.

A C T I V E L E A R N I N G 1
Answers, part B
In both scenarios, public saving falls by $200 billion, and the budget deficit rises from $300 billion to $500 billion.
1. If consumers save the full $200 billion, national saving is unchanged, so investment is unchanged.
2. If consumers save $50 billion and spend $150 billion, then national saving and investment each fall by $150 billion.

C. Discussion questions
The two scenarios from this exercise were:1. Consumers save the full proceeds of the
tax cut. 2. Consumers save 1/4 of the tax cut and spend
the other 3/4.
Which of these two scenarios do you think is more realistic?
Why is this question important?

The Market for Loanable Funds
Assume: only one financial market
All savers deposit their saving in this market.
All borrowers take out loans from this market.
There is one interest rate, which is both the return to saving and the cost of borrowing.

2222
The Market for Loanable Funds
The supply of loanable funds comes from saving: Households with extra income can loan it out
and earn interest. Public saving, if positive, adds to national
saving and the supply of loanable funds. If negative, it reduces national saving and the supply of loanable funds.

The Market for Loanable FundsThe demand for loanable funds comes from investment: Firms borrow the funds they need to pay for
new equipment, factories, etc. Households borrow the funds they need to
purchase houses.

Budget deficits
Use the loanable funds model to analyze the effects of a government budget deficit: Draw the diagram showing the initial
equilibrium. Determine which curve shifts when the
government runs a budget deficit. Draw the new curve on your diagram. What happens to the equilibrium values of the
interest rate and investment?

Budget Deficits, Crowding Out, and Long-Run Growth
Our analysis: Increase in budget deficit may cause a decline in private investment. The govt borrows to finance its deficit, leaving less funds available for private investment.
This is called crowding out. (This has not been an important problem in the recent past. )
Recall from the preceding chapter: Investment is important for long-run economic growth. If government borrowing isn’t spent wisely, budget deficits may reduce the economy’s growth rate and future standard of living.

The U.S. Government Debt
The government finances deficits by borrowing (selling government bonds).
Persistent deficits lead to a rising govt debt.
The ratio of govt debt to GDP is a useful measure of the government’s indebtedness relative to its ability to raise tax revenue.
Historically, the debt-GDP ratio usually rises during wartime and falls during peacetime—until the early 1980s.

Financial Institutions
The financial system: the group of institutions that helps match the saving of one person with the investment of another.
Financial markets: institutions through which savers can directly provide funds to borrowers. Examples:
The Bond Market. A bond is a certificate of indebtedness.
The Stock Market. A stock is a claim to partial ownership in a firm.

Financial Institutions
Financial intermediaries: institutions through which savers can indirectly provide funds to borrowers. Examples: Banks
Mutual funds – institutions that sell shares to the public and use the proceeds to buy portfolios of stocks and bonds

The Meaning of Saving and Investment
Private saving is the income remaining after households pay their taxes and pay for consumption.
Examples of what households do with saving: Buy corporate bonds or equities Purchase a certificate of deposit at the bank Buy shares of a mutual fund Let accumulate in saving or checking accounts

The Meaning of Saving and Investment
Investment is the purchase of new capital.
Examples of investment: General Motors spends $250 million to build
a new factory in Flint, Michigan. You buy $5000 worth of computer equipment
for your business. Your parents spend $300,000 to have a new
house built.

CONCLUSION Like many other markets, financial markets are
governed by the forces of supply and demand.
One of the Ten Principles from Chapter 1: Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity.Financial markets help allocate the economy’s scarce resources to their most efficient uses.
Financial markets also link the present to the future: They enable savers to convert current income into future purchasing power, and borrowers to acquire capital to produce goods and services in the future.

• The supply of loanable funds comes from saving. The demand for funds comes from investment. The interest rate adjusts to balance supply and demand in the loanable funds market.
• A government budget deficit is negative public saving, so it reduces national saving, the supply of funds available to finance investment.
• When a budget deficit crowds out investment, it reduces the growth of productivity and GDP.

• National saving equals private saving plus public saving.
• In a closed economy, national saving equals investment. The financial system makes this happen.
• The U.S. financial system is made up of many types of financial institutions, like the stock and bond markets, banks, and mutual funds.
