Calculate the National Savings (NS) of country A in 2009.
Consider the closed economy of country A where KI = 0. In year 2009, government expenditure (G) is $300 billion, the total tax collected (T) is $900 billion and tax being transferred (TR) is $200 billion. The loanable fund market is currently in equilibrium, and the total demand equation (including SG) is DLF: r =0.04 - 0.000025Q, where r is the real interest rate, and that private saving, SP, equals $800 billion at equilibrium
Answer:
NS = SG + SP
= 400+ 800
= $1200 billion
