Why we care about income?
1. Firstly, we have seen in our previouslectures how closely unemploymentand inflation are related to actual GDP.
The key to understanding the changesin unemployment and inflation,therefore, is the change in actual GDP,which is the same thing as total real
product and total real income

Why we care about income?
2. Second, the level and growth rate ofour standard of living are also measuredby productivity (defined as the ratio ofoutput to the number of hours worked).
And output is the same as real GDP (ortotal income)
Thus any discussion of productivityperformance of any economy incomparison with countrys history orwith other nations requires anunderstanding of the data on real GDP

The CircularFlow of Income andConsumption Expenditures
We are considering here a simpleeconomy consisting of households andbusiness firms who spend their entire
income and save nothing and there isno government.
There are two kinds of transactionsbetween firms and households.
Inner loop shows the transaction of goods and services between firms andthe households and the outer loopshows that of income.

The CircularFlow of Income and
Consumption Expenditures
In the inner loop households providelabour services to the firms and utilising
their services firms produce goods andservices and sell to the households.
And in the outer loop householdsreceive payment for their labour services as income (say,$1,000, 000)and spend that income on goodspurchased from the firms (say,$1,000,000).

CircularFlow and GDP Measurement
Circular flow:Income (Y) = labour service
= product= consumption expenditure

CircularFlow and GDP Measurement
Rules for GDP measurement:
There are three major requirements in the
rule for including items in the total finalproduct or GDP
Currently produced all currently produced
final products (transfer payments andsocial security benefits are excluded fromGDP accounting).

CircularFlow and GDP Measurement
Rules for GDP measurement:
Sold in the market goods included in thefinal product must be sold in the marketand valued at the market prices pricepeople are willing to pay
Issue: womens household chores, exchange
services are excluded

CircularFlow and GDP Measurement
But not resold to be included in GDP athing must not be resold in the current time
period.
Issue: Intermediate goods are used inproducing other goods; taking the value
of that in GDP accounting leads to theproblem of double counting.

Components of Expenditure
Total expenditure has four components:
(1) Consumption expenditure (C)(2) Investment expenditure (I)
(3) Government expenditure (G)
(4) Net exports (NX)
E | C + I + G + NX

213
Components of Expenditure
Consumption expenditure (C): made by thehousehold
Investment expenditure (I) made by firms as
Inventory investment all changes in thestock of raw materials, parts and finishedgoods held by business
Fixed investment all final goods
purchased by firms other than additions toinventory ( e.g., factories, office buildings,apartments, etc.

Components of Expenditure
Government expenditure (G): expendituresmade by the governments (e.g., on parks,hospitals, schools, paying benefits, etc.)
Net exports (NX): exports minus importswhich is also equal to net foreign
investments.

Components of Expenditure
We now introduce savings and investment toourCircularFlow diagram.
Let say households save 20% of their income($200,000)
Firms invest 20% of their total expenditure
($200,000)

Components of Expenditure
We now introduce government to ourimaginary economy which collect taxes fromthe private sector and makes two kinds ofexpenditures:
Purchases of goods
Paying different kinds of benefits

Components of Expenditure
Lets say, govt. collects $100,000 in taxrevenue and pays households $100,000 intransfer payments and purchases $100,000
of goods and services.
The total expenditures ($200,000) of the govt.then exceeds its tax revenues ($100,000)
creating a deficit of $100,000 which isfinanced by the bonds and securities to thehouseholds (borrowing from the public).

Implications of the Equality Between Income
and Expenditure
By definition total income generated equalstotal expenditure on final product. We havealready learnt that form the circular flow of
national income.
Using the identity sign (|) we can show therelationship as:
Y | E

221
Implications of the Equality Between Income
and Expenditure
We know,
E | C + I + G + NX
Total personal income that the householdsreceive is the sum of income generated fromproduction (Y) and transfer payments fromthe government (F).
This personal income (Y + F) is either usedfor consumption (C) and saving (S), or paidout as taxes (R).

222
CircularFlow in Equations
So,Y + F| C + S + RSubtracting F from both sides gives
Y | C + S + R FF can be treated as negative taxesSo, net tax revenue (T) is defined as taxes(R) minus transfers (F)
So we can writeY | C + S + T (T = net taxes)

Leakages-Injections Identity
We have
Y | C + I + G + NX [1]
Y | C + S + T [2]
Therefore,
C + S + T | C + I + G + NX -C -C
----------------------------------------
S + T | I + G + NX Leakages out of the income stream (S + T)
must be exactly balanced by injections intothe income stream (I + G + NX).

224
Leakages-Injections Identity
The equation: S + T | I + G + NX
is one of the most important relationship in
macroeconomics an called the magicequation.
Also called leakages injection identity

The Magic Equation and the Twin Deficits
The Magic Equation:
S + T | I + G + NX
The importance of the magic equation is thatit helps us to understand the relationshipsamong investment, private saving, the
government surplus or deficit, and thesurplus or deficit of export versus imports.

The Magic Equation and the Twin Deficits
The US govt. is currently running large deficit
govts expenditure is far beyond its
revenue the economy imports far more than its
exports.

The Magic Equation and the Twin Deficits
The magic equation helps us to understand
(1) how these twin deficits are financed
(2) what difference would it make if govt. ransurplus while international deficit remains thesame
(3) what would happen if the internationaldeficit were zero while the government deficitremained large

Impact of Changes in Government
Expenditure
We have
S + T = I + G + NX rearranging
T G = (I + NX) - S
An increase in government budget surplus (T G) can lead to the following:
A decrease in savings (S), without affectingtotal investment (I + NX).
An increase in private domestic investment(I) without a corresponding increase inprivate domestic savings (S).
An increase in foreign investment (NX).

Formulae to Remember
GDP = C + I + G + NX
NDP = GDP depreciation
Dom.Inc. = NDP indirect taxes
PI = income received byhouseholds from all sources,including earnings and transfer
payments PDI = PI personal income taxes
PDI | PC + PS + interest payments

Nominal GDP, Real GDP, and the ImplicitGDP Deflator, 19002001
Nominal GDP is the value of gross domesticproduct in current (actual ) prices
Real GDP of any year is measured by takingthe production of that year expressed at theconstant prices

Nominal GDP, Real GDP, and the ImplicitGDP Deflator, 19002001
The implicit GDP deflatoris the economysaggregate price index and is defined as
the ratio of nominal GDP to chain-weightedreal GDP
Chain-weighted index is calculated by valuingthe changes in quantities by the average ofprice charged at the beginning and end of theperiod of change

Nominal GDP, Real GDP, and the ImplicitGDP Deflator, 19002001
Nominal GDP line lies below the real GDPbefore 2000 but lies above it after2000.
Before 2000 the current prices used tomeasure nominal GDP were lower than the2000 prices used to measure real GDP.
After2000, the current prices used tomeasure nominal GDP were higher than
2000 prices used to measure real GDP.
Nominal and real GDP are equal in 2000, thesame year that the GDP deflator attains thevalue of1.0
