National savings ( S) = Private sanings + Public savings = ( Y - C - T ) + ( T- G )
S = Y - C - T + T - G = Y - C - G
Equal sized reduction in G and T , so public savings in unchanged ( T - G ) . Private savings rises ( Y - C - T ) .
So we can see that Taxes ( T ) does not affect S . If there is increase or decrease in T , it cancels out .
If G reduces then Savings rises . Answer : Up .
What would be the effect on national saving (S) if there was an equal-sized reduction in...

What is the effect on personal or private saving (Sp) of a rise in the real interest rate (r)? Up, Down, or Same?
11. Consider an economy with a marginal propensity to consume of 0.60. What would its marginal propensity to save be? What would happen to consumption (give the direction and size of the effect) if income taxes (T) were to increase by 100, assuming that real aggregate income is unaffected? What would happen to private saving? To public saving? To national saving? Suppose, instead, that government purchases (G) increase by 100. Assuming that aggregate income is unaffected, what would happen to...
Answer the next 6 questions based on the following information: Starting from the usual full-employment equilibrium, what would be the ultimate effect of a reduction in government purchases (G↓) on each of the following economic variables? For each, you should write one of the following responses: Up, Down, or Same Potential GDP (Yf) National Saving (S) The real interest rate (r) Investment (I) Consumption (C) The price level (P)
Given that personal consumption is $100, national saving is $15, net taxes are $10, government purchases are $12, the country’s GNP is A) $115. B) $125. C) $127. D) $130.
In a closed economy, private saving is equal to which of the following? (Y = GDP, C = Consumption, G-Government purchases, T = Taxes, and TR-Transfers)
