GDP = C + I + G + (X – IM)
National income = Employee compensation + Corporate profits + Proprietors’ income + Rental income of
persons + Net interest
Net national product = National income + Sales and excise taxes + Business transfers – Net subsidies to
government businesses + Statistical discrepancy
Gross national product = Net national product + Depreciation
Gross domestic product = Gross national product – Net factor payments from abroad
Personal income = National income – Contribution for social insurance – Corporate retained earnings + Non-
business interest + Transfer payments from government and business
Disposable income = Personal income – Personal income taxes
Government savings = Taxes – Government spending – Transfer payments – Interest on the government debt
Private savings = GDP + Net factor payments from abroad + Transfer payments + Interest on the government
debt – Taxes – Consumption
National savings = Private savings + Government savings
Direct foreign investment in the U.S. = – Net exports – Net factor payments from abroad
Investment = Private Savings + Government savings + Direct foreign investment in the U.S.
Adult population = Labor force + Not in the labor force
Labor force = Working + Unemployed
Unemployment rate = (Unemployed/Labor force)×100
Labor force participation rate = (Labor force/Adult population)×100
π = (P/P-1 – 1)×100
(Y – Y*)/Y* = – 3×(u – u*)
(Y/AP)n = (Y/AP)×(1 + G)n
%ΔY = %ΔA + (2/3)×%ΔN + (1/3)×%ΔK
MS
= (k×Y – h×R)×P
Yd = (1 – t)×Y
C = a + b×Yd
ΔY = [1/(1 – b×(1 – t))]×ΔI (the same equation holds for a Δa, ΔG, or Δ(X – IM) on the right hand side)
(X – IM) = X – m×Yd
ΔY = [1/(1 – (b – m)×(1 – t))]×ΔI (the same equation holds for a Δa, ΔG, or ΔX on the right hand side)
