National Income Accounting
-
WHY?
-
Structure of macroeconomics model
- Input and Output
-
production and demand (Output)
- Production
- interests and dividends(capital)
- wages(labor)
- Growth & AS(Aggregate Supply )
- Demand
- Consumption
- Investment (Private Investment specifically from firms)
- Others
- AD (Aggregate Demand)
-
Numbers characterized the economy
-
rough magnitudes
- linking reality and theory
-
What?
-
GDP(Gross Domestic Product)
-
Factor
- Time: within a given period
- Region: In the country
- Essence: Value of ALL FINAL goods and services produced
- Definition: GDP is the value of all final goods and services produced in the country within a given period.
- Valued at aggregate market price
- GNP(Gross National Product)
- NDP(Net domestic product)
- NI (National Income)
- Yd(个人可支配收入)
-
Relationships
-
Fundamental National Income Accounting Identity
-
Y=C+I+G+NX
- Essence: Where has the output gone?
- Why NX? Import is contained in C, I, G...
- NX: a component of the foreign total demand for our goods
-
Some Important Identities
-
Assumption
- 1. GDP=GNP
- 2.No Depreciation
- 3. NO Indirect Tax and Transfer Payments
- Basic Assumption through the WHOLE book
-
Simple Economy: Without Government and export
-
Y=C+I
- C+I=Y=Yd=C+S
- I=S
-
Reintroducing the Government and Foreign Trade
- S-I=(G+TR-TA)+NX==> S-I+(TA-(G+TR))=NX
-
1st Model----Keynesian model(the most basic one)
-
Central Assumption
- for the time being, prices do not change at all
- firms are willing to sell any amount of output at the given level of prices
-
I=I拔(unique assumption)
- Keynesian idea of investment
- AS curve---- FLAT
-
Equilibrium
-
Y=AD=C+I+G+NX
- output FIRMLY defined
-
Keynesian Consumption Function
- C=C拔+cYd C拔>0 (0<c<1)
-
c---MPC(marginal propensity to consume)
- c is defined by culture, usally regarded as a constant

节俭悖论
-
节俭--c小--AD线变"平"--均衡解出现在更加左边的位置
- 越节俭,越穷的悖论
