What is the relationship between national saving and investment in a closed economy? Start by explaining what is a closed economy.
# What is closed Economy?
In closed Economy there are no imports and exports which means
Y = C + I +G
# What is the relationship between national saving and Investment in closed economy?
Case - 1 When there are no taxes
Y - C -G = I
Here Y = GDP
C = Consumption Expenditure
G = Government Expenditure
I = Investment
Therefore Y-C-G is national saving.
Hence national saving = Investment.
Case: 2 when there is taxes.
Y-C-T +T-G = I
( Just added and Subtracted 'Taxes' in above equation.)
Y-C-T = Private Saving
T -G = Public Saving.
Private Saving + Public Saving = National Saving.
Again National Saving = Investment.
Therefore in Closed Economy National saving equals Investment.
