- Net assets export is added to GNDI

17

A
  • It is the value of transfers from the rest of the world minus THOSE to the rest world
18
Q

what re the approaches to measuring economic activity ?

A
  • The expenditure approach (look demand for goods ) (GNE)
  • Product Approach (look supply for goods ) (GDP)
  • Income Approach (GNDI) (payments made)
19
Q

Formula for GDP:

A

GDP = C + I + G + ( EX - IM )

C: comsunption

I: investment

G :government

( EX - IM ): TB trade balances

EX: all exports

IM : all imports

20
Q

Formula for GNI:

A

GNI: C + I + G + ( EX - IM ) + ( EXfs -IMfs )

C + I + G: GNE

( EX - IM) : Trade balances

( EXfs -IMfs ) : NFIA

21
Q

Formula for GNDI :

A

GNDI (Y) = GNE + TB + NFIA + NUT

GNDI (Y) = GNI + NUT

GNDI = GNE + CA

22
Q

Formula for National Saving :

A

S = I + CA

S = Y - C -G

23
Q

Formula for Current Account

A

CA = S - I

CA = (Sp + Sg ) - I

24
Q

Formula for Private saving (Sp) :

A

Sp = Y - T - C (after tax)

25
Q

Formula for Government Saving (Sg) :

A

Sg = T - G

26
Q

What is the Financial account (FA) ? (extensive)

A
  • It is the transactions between RESIDENTS and NOT-RESIDENTS (that involve financial assets ) such as :
Real assets (lands and structures) 
Financial assets (bonds, equity and loans)

Q

What is External Asset and External liability ?

A
  • External Assets : home hold assets in foreign country

- External liability : foreign hold assets in home country

29
Q

Foreign Assets (FA^) formula:

A

FA^ = (EXha - IMha) + (EXfa - EXfa) (same) (home assets moving into foreign ownership)

(EXha - IMha) : Net Export of HOME assets

(EXfa - EXfa) : Net export of FOREIGN assets

FA^ = (EXha - IMha) - (EXfa - EXfa) (same) (Foreign assets moving into home ownership)

FA = EXa - IMa ( in either way) (Financial account)

30
Q

Formula for extra resources (due trade)

A

Extra resources of home due to all assets trades :

FA + KA

FA : Financial account

KA : Capital account

= ( EXa - IMa ) + ( KAin - KAout )

EXa : Value of all assets exported

IMa : Value of all assets imported

KAin : Capital imported as a gift

KAout : CAPITAL exported as gift

31
Q

Formula BOP identity (balances of payment )

A

0 = CA + KA + FA

FA : Financial account

KA : Capital account

CA : current account

  • FA = CA + KA
32
Q

In what consists the balance of payment ?

  2. Valuations effects :
    - The value of existing external assets and liabilities
35
Q

Formula for Change in External wealth

A

W = FA + (Valuations effects )

W: Change in external wealth

FA : Financial account

W = ( CA + KA ) + (Valuations effects )

36
Q

I that true ?

A

No

37
Q

A
  • Into OSBA : transaction conducted by banks

- FA non-reserve : transactions conducted by everyone else
