Document Summary

The national income and national product used in canada is derived from an accounting system called the national income and expenditure accounts. It keeps track of the spending of consumers, sales of producers, business investment, government spending and a variety of other flows of money between different sectors of the economy. It has a logical structure based on the circular flow of income. The key point of the circular flow diagram is that the value of domestic output produced is equal to the value of expenditures on that output and is equal to the income generated by producing that output. Circular-flow diagram: the flows of money through the economy. !households earn income via the factor markets from wages, interest on bonds, dividends on stocks, and rent on land. !a stock is a share in the ownership of a company held by a shareholder. !a bond is borrowing in the form of an iou that pays interest.

How is the national income of an economy determined?
1. The national income of an economy is determined by measuring the total value of the output produced in an economy or the total income earned by the actors in the economy. In a circular flow model, we can see that the value of total output produced should equal the total value of income generated and earned in the economy. This is because every dollar spent by someone in the economy is received by another person in the economy as income.

5. Saving and net flows of capital and goods In a closed economy, saving and investment must be equal, but this is not the case in an open economy. In the following problem, you will explore how saving and investment are connected to the international flow of capital and goods in an economy. Before delving into the relationship between these various components of an economy, you will be asked to recall some relationships between aggregate variables that will be useful in your analysis. Recall the components that make up GDP. National income (Y) equals total expenditure on the economy's output of goods and services. Thus, where C = consumption, I = investment, G = government purchases, X = exports, M = imports, and NX = net exports: Y = Also, national saving is the income of the nation that is left after paying for . Therefore, national saving (S) is defined as: S = Rearranging the previous equation and solving for Y yields Y = . Plugging this into the original equation showing the various components of GDP results in the following relationship: S = This is equivalent to S = , since net exports must equal net capital outflow (NCO, also known as net foreign investment). Now suppose that a country is experiencing balanced trade. Determine the relationships between the entries in the following table, and enter these relationships using the following symbols: > (greater than), < (less than), or = (equal to). Outcomes of Balanced Trade Imports Exports 0 Net Exports Y C+I+G Investment Saving Net Capital Outflow 0
