I.A. Users of Economic Data
• Policy Makers
• Guide the direction of policy
• Businesses
• Forecast demand, costs of materials, and cost of
funds
• Tax consequences of inflation
• Exchange rates

I.A. Users of Economic Data
(cont’d)
• Labor Unions
• Need to know unemployment rate and inflation
rate when negotiating contracts
• COLA's
• Voters
• Political business cycle
• Financial Managers
• Interest rates, exchange rates

I.B. National Income Accounts
• Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
• Definition: Market value of final goods and
services produced within a country over a
period of time
• market value
• final goods and services
– excludes intermediate goods and services
– avoids double counting
– equivalent to value-added
The Role of Financial Markets in the Economy, Andrew Abel, October 1, 2001

Example: Value Added
• Sugar production = $40M
• $15M sold to households
• $25M sold to soft drink producers
• Soft drink production = $35M
• GDP
• Value of final goods
$15M of sugar + $35M soft drinks = $50M
• Value added
$40M of sugar + $10M soft drinks = $50M
The Role of Financial Markets in the Economy, Andrew Abel, October 1, 2001

Definition of GDP
(cont’d)
• Produced ... over a period of time
• Excludes trades of assets
• new vs. existing homes
• includes commissions on trades of assets
• Typically annualized
• Produced in a country
• Produced inside the U.S.
• GNP: produced by domestic factors of
production anywhere in the world
• GNP = GDP plus receipts of factor income from rest
of world minus payments of factor income to rest of
world

II.B. Saving
• Private Saving = Income + Transfers Taxes - Consumption
• Government Saving = Taxes - Transfers Government Purchases
• Surplus, if positive
• Deficit, if negative
• National Saving = Private Saving +
Government Saving
• equals Income minus Consumption minus
Government Purchases

Saving Identity
• National Saving = Income - Consumption
- Government Purchases
• Income = Consumption + Investment +
Government Purchases + Current Account
• National Saving = Investment + Current

II.C. International Transactions
• Basic Principles
• Credit items: generate flow of funds into the
country
• Debit items: generate flow of funds out of the
country
The Role of Financial Markets in the Economy, Andrew Abel, October 1, 2001
48
Current Account
• Trade Balance = Exports minus Imports
• Current Account Balance
• Trade balance plus
• Net factor income from abroad
• Remittances and unilateral transfers
The Role of Financial Markets in the Economy, Andrew Abel, October 1, 2001
49
Financial Account
• Financial Inflow
• Sale of U.S. securities to foreigners
• Financial Outflow
• Purchase of foreign securities by U.S. residents
• Financial Account Balance
• Financial inflow minus financial outflow
• Exports of securities minus imports of
securities
The Role of Financial Markets in the Economy, Andrew Abel, October 1, 2001
50
Balance of Payments
• Current Account + Financial Account = 0
• Ignore (tiny) Capital Account
• Balance of Payments
• Current account balance plus private financial
account balance
• Floating Exchange Rates
• ”Clean" vs. "dirty" floating
• Clean floating  balance of payments = 0
The Role of Financial Markets in the Economy, Andrew Abel, October 1, 2001
51
II.D. Saving Identity from
Balance Sheets
• Components of Private Saving
• Increase in holding of capital
• investment
• Increase in holding of government securities
• government deficit
• Increase in net holding of foreign assets
• financial account deficit
• equivalently, current account surplus
The Role of Financial Markets in the Economy, Andrew Abel, October 1, 2001
52
Net Exports
• Exports
• Effect of exchange rate
• Effect of foreign income
• Imports
• Effect of exchange rate
• Effect of domestic income
• Tariffs
The Role of Financial Markets in the Economy, Andrew Abel, October 1, 2001

Imports
Net Exports = Exports Exchange rate
• Exchange rate falls
• Exports increase
• Imports/exchange rate increases initially
• Real value of imports increases initially
• Net exports fall initially
