National Income:
Where it Comes From
and Where it Goes
CHAPTER 3
National Income
Econ 4020/Chatterjee
slide 0
In this chapter, you will learn…
 How an economy’s total output/income is
produced
 How the prices of the factors of production
are determined
 How total income is distributed
 What determines the demand for goods and
services (how is total income spent?)
 How equilibrium in the goods market is
achieved
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 1
Outline of model
A closed economy, market-clearing model
Economic Agents
 Households
 Firms
 Government
Markets where these agents interact
 Market for Goods and Services
 Factor Markets
 Financial Markets
The interaction between agents in the context of
markets determines an economy’s resource
allocation and progress

Who Produces Output?
Factors of production
K =
capital:
tools, machines, and structures used in
production
L =
labor:
the physical and mental efforts of workers
AND
TECHNOLOGY
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 4
The production function
 denoted Y = F(K, L)
 shows how much output (Y ) the economy can
produce from
K units of capital and L units of labor
 reflects the economy’s level of technology
 exhibits “constant returns to scale”
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 5
Returns to scale: A review
Initially Y1 = F (K1 , L1 )
Suppose all inputs were to increase by the same factor z:
K2 = zK1 and L2 = zL1
(e.g., if z = 2, then all inputs are doubled)
What happens to output, Y2 = F (K2, L2 )?
 If constant returns to scale, Y2 = zY1
 If increasing returns to scale, Y2 > zY1
 If decreasing returns to scale, Y2 < zY1
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 6
Assumptions of the model
1. Technology is fixed.
2. The economy’s supplies of capital and labor
are fixed at
K K
and
LL
Why? Because we are looking at the “long run”
where all resources are fully utilized or
employed
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 13
Determining GDP
Output is determined by the fixed factor supplies
and the fixed state of technology:
Y  F (K , L)
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 14
The distribution of national
income
 determined by factor prices,
the prices per unit that firms pay for the
factors of production
 wage = price of L
 rental rate = price of K
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 15
Notation
W = nominal wage
R
= nominal rental rate
P
= price of output
W /P
= real wage
(measured in units of output)
R /P = real rental rate
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 16
How factor prices are
determined
 Factor prices are determined by supply and
demand in factor markets.
 Recall: Supply of each factor is fixed.
 What about demand?
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 17
Demand for labor
 Assume markets are competitive:
each firm takes W, R, and P as given.
 Basic idea:
A firm hires each unit of labor
if the cost does not exceed the benefit.
 cost = real wage
 benefit = marginal product of labor
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 18
Marginal product of labor (MPL)
 definition:
The extra output the firm can produce
using an additional unit of labor
(holding all other inputs fixed):
MPL = F (K, L +1) – F (K, L)

Diminishing marginal returns
 As a factor input is increased,
its marginal product falls (other things equal).
 Intuition:
Suppose L while holding K fixed
 fewer machines per worker
 lower worker productivity

Determining the rental rate
We have just seen that MPL = W/P.
The same logic shows that MPK = R/P :
 diminishing returns to capital: MPK  as K 
 The MPK curve is the firm’s demand curve
for renting capital.
 Firms maximize profits by choosing K
such that MPK = R/P .

The Cobb-Douglas Production
Function
 The Cobb-Douglas production function is:
 1
Y  AK L
where A represents the level of technology
 The Cobb-Douglas production function has
constant factor shares:
 = capital’s share of total income:
capital income = MPK x K =  Y
labor income = MPL x L = (1 –  )Y
.
CHAPTER 3

Empirical estimates of the CobbDouglas Production Function
 Economists have estimated that the share of capital
income in U.S. GDP is approximately 33%, .i.e.  =
0.33
 Labor’s share in U.S. GDP is approximately 67%.
 These shares are roughly constant over long periods
of time: fits the Cobb-Douglas Specification.

The Neoclassical Theory
of Distribution
 Each factor of production is paid its marginal
product
 In equilibrium, MPL = W/P (real wage)
MPK = r/P (real rental rate)
 Characterized by the Law of Diminishing Returns
 Growth in factor productivity should be tracked by
the growth in real factor income.

The Neoclassical Theory in
Action…
Black Death and Factor Prices
 Outbreak of bubonic plague in Europe or The
Black Death in the year 1348
 The population of Europe was reduced by a third
 Real wages doubled and peasants enjoyed
economic prosperity
 Real rents on land fell by nearly 50 percent and
the landowner class suffered significant
reductions in their incomes

The Neoclassical Theory in
Action…
The Abolition of Slavery Act, U.K. (1833)
 Former slaves in the Caribbean colonies
demanded higher wages and compensation
 Plantations in the Caribbean Islands became less
profitable as labor costs rose
 British response: IMPORT labor from colonies
in Asia and Africa
 What happened to wage rates in the Caribbean?

Demand for goods & services
Components of aggregate demand:
C = consumer demand for goods & services
I = firms’ demand for investment goods
G = government demand for goods & services
(closed economy: no exports or imports )

Consumption, C
 def: Disposable income is total income
minus total taxes: Y – T.
 Consumption function: C = C (Y – T )
Shows that (Y – T )  C
 def: Marginal propensity to consume
(MPC) is the increase in C caused by a one-unit
increase in disposable income.

Investment, I
 The investment function is I = I(r ),
where r denotes the real interest rate,
the nominal interest rate corrected for inflation.
 The real interest rate is
 the cost of borrowing
 the opportunity cost of using one’s own
funds to finance investment spending.
So, r  I

The market for goods & services
 Aggregate demand:
C (Y  T )  I (r )  G
 Aggregate supply:
 Equilibrium:
Y  F (K , L )
Y = C (Y  T )  I (r )  G
 The real interest rate adjusts
to equate demand with supply.
CHAPTER 3

The loanable funds market
 A simple supply-demand model of the financial
system.
 One asset: “loanable funds”
 demand for funds: investment
 supply of funds: saving
 “price” of funds: real interest rate
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 49
Demand for funds: Investment
The demand for loanable funds…
 comes from investment:
Firms borrow to finance spending on plant &
equipment, new office buildings, etc.
Consumers borrow to buy new houses.
 depends negatively on r,
the “price” of loanable funds
(cost of borrowing).

Supply of funds: Saving
 The supply of loanable funds comes from saving:
 Households use their saving to make bank
deposits, purchase bonds and other assets.
These funds become available to firms to
borrow to finance investment spending.
 The government may also contribute to saving
if it does not spend all the tax revenue it
receives.

Budget surpluses and deficits
 If T > G, budget surplus
= (T – G)
= public saving.
 If T < G, budget deficit = (G – T)
and public saving is negative.
 If T = G, “balanced budget,” public saving = 0.
 The U.S. government finances its deficit by
issuing Treasury bonds – i.e., borrowing.

1. Which of its variables are endogenous and
which are exogenous.

b. intuition for slope
c. all the things that can shift the curve
3. Use the model to analyze the effects of each item

Chapter Summary
 Total output is determined by
 the economy’s quantities of capital and labor
 the level of technology
 Competitive firms hire each factor until its
marginal product equals its price.
 If the production function has constant returns
to scale, then labor income plus capital income
equals total income (output).
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 76
Chapter Summary
 A closed economy’s output is used for
 consumption
 investment
 government spending
 The real interest rate adjusts to equate
the demand for and supply of
 goods and services
 loanable funds
CHAPTER 3
National Income
slide 77
Chapter Summary
 A decrease in national saving causes the interest
rate to rise and investment to fall.
 An increase in investment demand causes the
interest rate to rise, but does not affect the
equilibrium level of investment
if the supply of loanable funds is fixed.
