问题如下:
All else equal, which of the following was not a factor to increase the government deficit?
选项:
A.an increase in the excess of private saving over private investment.
B.an increase in net export.
C.a increase in trade deficit
解释:
B is correct.
The fiscal balance equation is given as: (G-T)=(S-I)-(X-M), An increase in government deficit (G-T) is a combination of increase in private saving over private investing (S-I) and a decrease of trade deficit or net export (X-M).
考点:Relationship between Income Approch and Expenditure Approach
解析:
财政平衡方程为:(G-T)=(S-I)-(X-M),政府赤字(G-T)的增加的同时,私人储蓄增加超过私人投资(S-I),或者贸易赤字或净出口(X-M)减少,所以AC选项不入选,B选项入选。
百度百科:贸易差额又称净出口、贸易余额。经济学上为了方便,常以NX(Net Exports,即净出口)符号代替。
B.
an increase in net export.
C.
a increase in trade deficit
照这个逻辑,net exports=trade deficit,那B和C意思一样啊,都是增长,是题目错了么?
