For a closed economy, GDP is $18 trillion, consumption is $13 trillion, taxes are $2 trillion and the government runs a deficit

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Private saving = $3 trillion

National Saving = $2 trillion

Explanation:

Private saving = GDP - Taxes - Consumption + Transfer payments

Private saving = $18 trillion - $2 trillion - $13 trillion + 0

Private saving = $3 trillion

Government runs a deficit of $1 trillion means its spending is $1 trillion more than the tax revenue.

So, National Saving = Private saving + Public saving

National Saving = $3 trillion + ($2 trillion - $3 trillion)

National Saving = $3 trillion + (-$1 trillion)

National Saving = $2 trillion
