GDP = Expenditure on a Country’s Goods and Services
National income = value of production

Y = Cd + Id + Gd + EX

expenditure on production

= (C-Cf) + (I-If) + (G-Gf) + EX = C + I + G + EX – (Cf + If +Gf) = C + I + G + EX – IM = C + I + G + NX
Domestic expenditure Net expenditure by foreigners

Expenditure and Production in an Open Economy • Q= Y+NFP = C + I + G +NX+NFP • Current account (CA) measures the size and direction of international borrowing. • CA=NX+NFP • Q= Y+NFP = C + I + G +CA

Expenditure and Production in an Open Economy
CA = NX+NFP = Q – (C + I + G )
