Financial Institutions
 The financial system: the group of institutions
that helps match the saving of one person with the
investment of another.
 Financial markets: institutions through which
savers can directly provide funds to borrowers.
Examples:
 The Bond Market.
A bond is a certificate of indebtedness.
 The Stock Market.
A stock is a claim to partial ownership in a firm.
3
Financial Institutions
 Financial intermediaries: institutions through
which savers can indirectly provide funds to
borrowers. Examples:
 Banks.
 Mutual funds – institutions that sell shares to
the public and use the proceeds to buy
portfolios of stocks and bonds.

The Financial Crisis of 2008–2009

FYI: Elements of Financial Crises
 Large decline in some asset prices
 2008–2009: Housing prices fell 30%.
 Insolvencies at financial institutions.
 2008–2009:
Banks and other institutions failed when many
homeowners stopped paying their mortgages.
 Decline in confidence in financial institutions.
 2008–2009:
Customers with uninsured deposits began
pulling their funds out of financial institutions.
6
FYI: Elements of Financial Crises
 Credit crunch.
 2008–2009: Borrowers unable to get loans
because troubled lenders not confident in
borrowers’ credit-worthiness.
 Economic downturn.
 2008–2009: Failing financial institutions and a
fall in investment caused GDP to fall and
unemployment to rise.
 Vicious circle.
 2008–2009: The downturn reduced profits and
asset values, which worsened the crisis.

Different Kinds of Saving
Private saving
= The portion of households’ income that is not
used for consumption or paying taxes.
=Y–T–C
Public saving
= Tax revenue less government spending.
=T–G
8
National Saving
National saving
= private saving + public saving.
= (Y – T – C) + (T – G)
= Y – C – G
= the portion of national income that is not used
for consumption or government purchases.
9
Saving and Investment
Recall the national income accounting identity:
Y = C + I + G + NX
For the rest of this chapter, focus on the closed
economy case:
Y=C+I+G
national saving
Solve for I:
I = Y – C – G = (Y – T – C) + (T – G)
Saving
Saving == investment

10
Budget Deficits and Surpluses
Budget surplus
= an excess of tax revenue over government
spending
= T–G
= public saving
Budget deficit
= a shortfall of tax revenue from government
spending
= G–T
= – (public saving)
11

A. Calculations
 Suppose:
 GDP equals $10 trillion.
 Consumption equals $6.5 trillion.
 The government spends $2 trillion
 The government has a budget deficit of $300
billion.
 Find public saving, taxes, private saving,
national saving, and investment.

Given:
Y = 10.0, C = 6.5, G = 2.0, G – T = 0.3
Public saving = T – G = – 0.3
Taxes: T = G – 0.3 = 1.7
Private saving = Y – T – C = 10 – 1.7 – 6.5 = 1.8
National saving = Y – C – G = 10 – 6.5 = 2 = 1.5
Investment = national saving = 1.5

B. How a tax cut affects saving
 Use the numbers from the preceding exercise,

but suppose now that the government cuts taxes
by $200 billion.
 In each of the following two scenarios,
determine what happens to public saving,
private saving, national saving, and investment.
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.

Answers, part B
In both scenarios, public saving falls by

$200 billion, and the budget deficit rises
from $300 billion to $500 billion.
1. If consumers save the full $200 billion,
national saving is unchanged,
so investment is unchanged.
2. If consumers save $50 billion and spend $150
billion, then national saving and investment
each fall by $150 billion.

C. Discussion questions
The 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?

The Meaning of Saving and Investment
 Private saving is the income remaining after

households pay their taxes and pay for
consumption.
 Examples of what U.S households do with
saving:
 Buy corporate bonds or equities.
 Purchase a certificate of deposit at the bank.
 Buy shares of a mutual fund.
 Let accumulate in saving or checking accounts.
17
The Meaning of Saving and Investment
 Investment is the purchase of new capital.

 Examples of investment:
 A large manufacturing company spends $250
million to build a new factory.
 You buy $5000 worth of computer equipment
for your business.
 Your parents spend $300,000 to have a new
house built.

18
The Market for Loanable Funds
 A supply–demand model of the financial system
 Helps us understand:
 How the financial system coordinates
saving & investment.
 How government policies and other factors
affect saving, investment, the interest rate.
19
Assume: Only one financial market
 All savers deposit their saving in this market.
 All borrowers take out loans from this market.
 There is one interest rate, which is both the
return to saving and the cost of borrowing.
20
The supply of loanable funds comes from saving:
 Households with extra income can loan it out
and earn interest.
 Public saving, if positive, adds to national
saving and the supply of loanable funds.
If negative, it reduces national saving and the
supply of loanable funds.
21
The Slope of the Supply Curve
An increase in
Interest
Rate Supply the interest rate
makes saving
more attractive,
6%
which increases
the quantity of
loanable funds

($billions)
22
The demand for loanable funds comes from
investment:
 Firms borrow the funds they need to pay for
new equipment, factories, etc.
 Households borrow the funds they need to
purchase new houses.
23
The Slope of the Demand Curve

Budget deficits
 Use 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?

Budget Deficits, Crowding Out,
and Long-Run Growth
 Our analysis: Increase in budget deficit causes

fall in investment.
The government borrows to finance its deficit,
leaving less funds available for investment.
 This is called crowding out.
 Recall from the preceding chapter: Investment
is important for long-run economic growth.
Hence, budget deficits reduce the economy’s
growth rate and future standard of living.
31
CONCLUSION
 Like many other markets, financial markets are
governed by the forces of supply and demand.
 One of the Ten Principles from Chapter 1:
Markets are usually a good way
to organize economic activity.
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 future.

• The financial system is made up of many types

of financial institutions, like the stock and bond
markets, banks, and mutual funds.
• National saving equals private saving plus
public saving.
• In a closed economy, national saving equals
investment. The financial system makes this
happen.

• The supply of loanable funds comes from

saving. The demand for funds comes from
investment. The interest rate adjusts to balance
supply and demand in the loanable funds
market.
• A government budget deficit is negative public
saving, so it reduces national saving, the supply
of funds available to finance investment.
• When a budget deficit crowds out investment,
it reduces the growth of productivity and GDP.
