Consumers save the full proceeds of the tax cut. 2. Consumers save 1/4 of the tax cut and spend the other 3/4. 9Exercise - 2The 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?10Exercise - 311The Meaning of Saving and InvestmentPrivate savingExamples of what households do with saving:   12The Meaning of Saving and InvestmentInvestment iExamples of investment:   In economics, Investment is NOT13The Market for Loanable FundsA supply-demand model of the financial systemHelps us understand  Assume: only one financial marketAll savers All borrowersThere is one interest rate,14The Market for Loanable FundsThe supply of loanable funds comes from Households with extra income Public saving,15The Slope of the Supply CurveInterestRateLoanable Funds ($billions)603%806%16The Market for Loanable FundsThe demand for loanable funds comes from Firms borrow Households borrow17The Slope of the Demand CurveInterestRateLoanable Funds ($billions)507%4%8018EquilibriumInterestRateLoanable Funds ($billions)5%6019Policy 1: Saving IncentivesInterestRateLoanable Funds ($billions)D1S15%604%7020Policy 2: Investment IncentivesInterestRateLoanable Funds ($billions)D1S15%606%70Use the loanable funds model to analyze the effects of a government budget deficit:Draw the diagram showing the initial equilibrium.Determine which curve shifts when the government runs a budget deficit. Draw the new curve on your diagram. What happens to the equilibrium values of the interest rate and investment?21Exercise - 422InterestRateLoanable Funds ($billions)D1S15%606%5023Budget Deficits, Crowding Out, and Long-Run GrowthIncrease in budget deficit causes The govt borrows to finance its deficit, leaving This is called Recall from the preceding chapter: Investment is important for24The 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.U.S. Government Debt as a Percentage of GDP, 1970-2007Revolutionary WarCivil WarWW1WW22526CONCLUSIONLike many other markets, financial markets are governed by the forces of supply and demand.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
