Its actually insane how I could spend a week listening to my professor talk about a topic and not understand a single thing and a 3 minute video of you talking at a super fast speed makes me understand it immediately
I've been watching this guys economics videos since high school. I'm currently in my second year at uni and still using these videos to understand things! Thanks for the help over the years!
I kind of get it. The issue is that the government needs money, it goes to loanable fund market to get money, then the demand for loanable fund increase and the interest rate increases too, then people will not borrow money because the interest rate is high, so it turns out that the government hurts the economy though it came first to help it. Is that correct?
The cautionary note is, if investment is low for reasons other price of debt (say pessimistic about the economy) then crowding out might not happen. Also government spend has other effects some of which might be beneficial (building roads etc) unemployment insurance (counter cycle effects). Like all gov actions care needs to be taken.
Why is there an increase in demand for loanable funds while there’s an increase in interest rate? I could see why cause the rise in D for loan but is that the Demand for the government or the people?
Thank you so much!!! I wish I would have looked up to your videos for micro lol. Anyways you are a big help for my macro class and help me understand what the teacher is trying to say.
Because this is the Market for Private funds, many other sources I've reviewed are depicting crowding out as a leftward shift of the supply curve, because there is a reduction in the supply to the private market. The result is still a higher interest rate. Thoughts?
Most likely depends on how one defines the demand and supply for loanable funds. If you define it as private funds, then yes, but this is a different definition.
I understand the video. but in my textbook it says, when government ran a budget deficit, it shifts a supply curve to the left, as national saving-source of the supply of loanable funds-will decrease along with the decreasing public saving. so which I should follow or it depends? In this case, quantity of loanable funds increased, but in textbook case, it decreases. Pls someone help me!!!!!!
Fuck the book. Sometimes its easier to look up the definition on the internet with a clearer explanation. Don't worry, it won't be wrong on the test if you fill it in differently than as stated in the book.
Did it ever explain why the national saving source of the supply decreases or why there would be a decrease in public saving? In the short run, I believe demand curve should shift right.
so basically.. when the government deficit spends, it increases the money supply which causes the interest rates to go up and investment falls. ( from previous video)
Hey Mr. Clifford, I just wanted to point out that the graph of the loanable funds market after the government deficit-spends in 1:49 conflicts with the graph you provided in the ultimate review packet for unit 5 topic 5 (Crowding Out). Thanks!
that's only in financial investment i.e. stocks - higher rate of return, more demand. but, for the people who want to take out loans for investment spending (different from financial investment) a high interest rate means that they're going to have to pay back a lot more. The interest rate is high because the government is borrowing as well, which increases demand for loans, and the interest rate with it. So a private investor (not the government) is not going to be able to get a good loan.
If the government wants to close a recessionary gap by increasing aggregate demand, then why would they want to decrease investment spending? Is it because crowding out causes a greater net aggregate demand from increased consumer spending over decreased investment spending?
My textbook showed "crowing out" as a decline in the supply rather than an increase of demand. Does it work both ways or is my textbook wrong? "Suppose the government runs a budget deficit. To fund the deficit, it sells bonds to households, decreasing the supply of funds available to firms. This raises the equilibrium real interest rate and decreases the funds loaned to firms. This is crowding out: the decline in private expenditures as a result of increases in government purchases. "
Well both of them cause an increase in real interest rate, so it can still be used to show the crowding out effect. But I still believe only one of them is correct.
I thought the government's main method of raising funds was not the purchasing of debt but the selling of bonds. How would the selling of bonds affect the interest rates in contrast to simply borrowing money?
any other way that I can support you? You helped me get an A+ in both macro and Micro economics in university. I feel like buying the package for 10$ was to cheap. You are amazing, is their any way I can donate to you?
uh, when the money supply increases, interest rate FALLS, causing investment to GO UP. when investment goes up, then AD will also go up, bringing up Y. But because Y goes up, the money demand will go up, bringing up in interest rate and thus, weakening the original policy.
There are two problems with this model. Loanable funds does not exist for neither the government nor the banking system. Governments issue bonds on the primary market to primary dealers (usually banks but there are exceptions). These auctions have special rules that guarantee bond sales. Also any transfers to and from the treasury's account at the central bank affects total reserve balances. In the case of bond sales, reserves are drained. What central banks have to is to counteract the drainage in the banking system, otherwise they won't hit their short term interest rate target (fed funds rate). Either banks have to come to the discount window or the central bank has to add reserves through its open market operations. No other borrower has such a nicely rigged borrowing scheme as the government. As for banks, they lend to and purchase assets from the private non-banking sector by crediting accounts. Reserves are used for interbank settlement, not actual lending. Read the 2014 BoE article on money creation. Fantasy like all folly must come to an end. This is just pure nonsense.
Hey quick question! Couldn't find anything in your videos, or even my textbook. Question for my final exam is "How to mitigate the crowding out effect". I have a solid understanding of what the CO effect is, but unsure as to how to mitigate it. Any thoughts?? Thanks man!
But the quantity of money increases in the loanable funds market according to your demand curve shift. There is incentive to save, then. Would not the supply of loanable funds decrease, this raises int. rates and dec. loanable funds, thus crowding out new capital purchases?
I have a question, in my university, our lecturer describes crowding out as a decrease in supply (because of the government that takes a part that will not be able to be supplied) is it the same thing as you?
Wait now I'm very confused Wouldn't the government run at a deficit to close an inflationary gap because increasing interest rates decreases investment, which decreases aggregate demand So wouldn't a deficit create an even larger recessionary gap?
1:16 is not correct, I believe. The government actually creates money when it deficit spends. The borrowing is to offset excess liquidity in the banking system that resulted from its spending. Aka, the Fed drains excess bank reserves using sale of newly issued treasuries in order to maintain the target fed funds rate.
But if government borrows and increases the interest rate, wouldnt that increase Investment? Increased demand increases the rate. Less people borrow but more people want to invest/save since there is a higher interest rate. Can someone please help me understand why I goes down and not up?
I think you confuse government investment and firms investment. sure government investment is public spending and it will increase but the extent of increase might be compensated by the decrease in firms investment. Now saving and investing is different. When interest rate increases, the cost of borrowing will increase, and hence firms will have less incentive to invest (firms invest by borrowing money from bank). thus this leads to lower firm investment People would want to save more since it is more profitable to save rather than consume due to higher return in the future Do I make sense? hahahaha hope this helps :)
Its actually insane how I could spend a week listening to my professor talk about a topic and not understand a single thing and a 3 minute video of you talking at a super fast speed makes me understand it immediately
Sir I believe you have taught at least half of our generation economics you are a true
He is indeed a true
I might as well not have a first period and just watch your videos because all my teacher does is show us your videos in class..
***** literally me rn
+Talfo08 omg same!
so true
OMG IKR
this comment hit different
I wish more teachers were as cool as youtube tutors.
Alec Byres Amen to that Bratha !!
ok marvin cool
No for real
My school needs to fire all the incompetent teachers and hire these youtuber teachers instead. Good educators are so rare these days
+GAO Xiang2 Agreed
dude youre goddam right
Raise wages for teachers. There’ll be a lot more quality teachers that way.
I've been watching this guys economics videos since high school. I'm currently in my second year at uni and still using these videos to understand things! Thanks for the help over the years!
I bought your packet and it was the best decision of my life. Thanks a million Clifford you're the GOAT
You, sir, have done students everywhere a great service. For this, we thank you.
You are so cool!! Even if you talk moderately fast, I still get your point in a very clear and concise manner! thumbs-up, man! :)
I just love your videos!!!!! I read and read and only semi grasp the concepts and then I watch a 3 minute video and it makes total sense!
I'm self studying AP econ and your videos help me a lot!!! Million thanks, with your help I will definitely get two fives
You deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for saving AP Macro Students' lives.
I wish all professors had your gift of teaching............. THANK YOU, MR. CLIFFORD.
this dude is so concise. he probably gets the lesson that other professors need an hour or more to teach over with in 10 minutes
Explained very well. I wasn't sure what crowding out was, but now I know.
Hit the thumbs up, youre a good man Clifford, you help me through college... great man
might as well refund my tuition fees cos watching this man's 3min vids solves what lecturers exaggerate in their 2hr lectures. Thanks a lot Sir.
Frankly, I didn't spend a minute focusing on my teacher's lesson, just because I found Jacob Clifford's videos haha
you channel is so incredible. your videos just make everything click for me. thanks so much!
short precise and easy to understand. you make economics sound easier unlike lecturer
This video helped me tremendously with my college research paper. Thanks so much!
This guy looks a lot like Mark Cuban.
I'm not the only one who thought that?! Yeah, he does.
THANK YOU. MY FIRST THOUGHT
thank you so much. these videos are saving my life rn
I kind of get it. The issue is that the government needs money, it goes to loanable fund market to get money, then the demand for loanable fund increase and the interest rate increases too, then people will not borrow money because the interest rate is high, so it turns out that the government hurts the economy though it came first to help it. Is that correct?
+waleed harbi That's a great summary of crowding out
So, what I stated is correct. Thank you Jcob and thank you all. You guys are amazing :)
The cautionary note is, if investment is low for reasons other price of debt (say pessimistic about the economy) then crowding out might not happen. Also government spend has other effects some of which might be beneficial (building roads etc) unemployment insurance (counter cycle effects). Like all gov actions care needs to be taken.
Why is there an increase in demand for loanable funds while there’s an increase in interest rate? I could see why cause the rise in D for loan but is that the Demand for the government or the people?
@@louiszhang7655 Total demand for loans so they are both included
your videos are SO helpful, i learned more from you than my econ professor. thank you for making them!!!!!
My exam is in one hour. Thanks for your video! Super super helpful!
I've been watching all of your videos in preparation for an exam; thank you!
Thank you so much!!! I wish I would have looked up to your videos for micro lol. Anyways you are a big help for my macro class and help me understand what the teacher is trying to say.
You make it SO interesting and easy to understand. Thank you for making my exam 10x easier!
YOU are AMAZING in every sense of the word! Thank you so much for these videos. They're interesting to watch and easy to understand. :)

Most likely depends on how one defines the demand and supply for loanable funds. If you define it as private funds, then yes, but this is a different definition.
Thanks Mr. Clifford. Our IB Econ class loves your videos and I'm going through now to review for my final. We especially love econmovies.
hey man, your teaching style is fantastic. woulda failed college international econ if it wasnt for you.
You know exactly what to touch on in your videos. Thank you!!!!
Thank you for saving my life before the DAMN final;)
You sir, are a god among teachers
He is the reason why I'm passing my macro class
You're the man. Thanks for all the videos!
Someone give him an award
So, am I right to say that increase in government spending is the same as budget deficits?
no
You are awesome. Thanks a mill.
I understand the video. but in my textbook it says, when government ran a budget deficit, it shifts a supply curve to the left, as national saving-source of the supply of loanable funds-will decrease along with the decreasing public saving. so which I should follow or it depends?

Fuck the book. Sometimes its easier to look up the definition on the internet with a clearer explanation. Don't worry, it won't be wrong on the test if you fill it in differently than as stated in the book.
Same Problem here. did you ever get a clear answer to the question?
Did it ever explain why the national saving source of the supply decreases or why there would be a decrease in public saving? In the short run, I believe demand curve should shift right.
Thank you for your work , it’s very helpful for us
I love youuuuu!!!!! I ready to get a 5 on this AP test tom.
wow. simple and clear. Thanks alot.
Muy útil!!! Falté a mi clase y esta explicación es genial!!!
so basically.. when the government deficit spends, it increases the money supply which causes the interest rates to go up and investment falls. ( from previous video)
Thanks for the clear explanation!!
Really amazing video💯💯💯
hi im a college sophomore and this stuff is so helpful lol

this is the hardest part of macroeconomics

Great video! Super helpful thank you!!
wishing this guy was my teacher..
great help, thanks man easy to understand and digest!
You're amazing. Let's hope all of this works tomorrow...
If the government wants to close a recessionary gap by increasing aggregate demand, then why would they want to decrease investment spending? Is it because crowding out causes a greater net aggregate demand from increased consumer spending over decreased investment spending?
Thank you so much i've got what i came for.
Such an awesome dude. Thanks prof!

Well both of them cause an increase in real interest rate, so it can still be used to show the crowding out effect. But I still believe only one of them is correct.
Can you make a video about the bond market and the effect on demand and supply caused by, inflation and increase or decrease of interest?
I thought the government's main method of raising funds was not the purchasing of debt but the selling of bonds. How would the selling of bonds affect the interest rates in contrast to simply borrowing money?

excellent presentation but i didnt really understand the crowding out bit..can u please help me out.thanks
Awesome sir...tqsm❤
Can you please make a video on cyclical and structural budget surplus or deficit?
Good Job!
Much better. Got it!
thank you so much, you're the best
you are talking about automatic stabilisers
What shifts the supply of loans?
Kind of late, but personal savings and capital inflow shift the supply of loanable funds
But the quantity of money increases in the loanable funds market according to your demand curve shift. There is incentive to save, then. Would not the supply of loanable funds decrease, this raises int. rates and dec. loanable funds, thus crowding out new capital purchases?
If the gvt had a surplus, would the supply shift to the right?
You're amazing.
I have a question, in my university, our lecturer describes crowding out as a decrease in supply (because of the government that takes a part that will not be able to be supplied) is it the same thing as you?
what happens to public saving, private saving and national savings?
Mr. Clifford, at 2:16 you spelt sensitive as "sensative".
Just thought I'd let you know
thanks, really helpful !!
How can you dislike this.. damn
Wait now I'm very confused
Wouldn't the government run at a deficit to close an inflationary gap because increasing interest rates decreases investment, which decreases aggregate demand
So wouldn't a deficit create an even larger recessionary gap?
nvrmind I'm dumb

Aka, the Fed drains excess bank reserves using sale of newly issued treasuries in order to maintain the target fed funds rate.

very helpful!
why can't the government just print a bit more money?
and then the value of the currency will depreciate
Thank you!!!
But if government borrows and increases the interest rate, wouldnt that increase Investment? Increased demand increases the rate. Less people borrow but more people want to invest/save since there is a higher interest rate.

Do I make sense? hahahaha hope this helps :)
Thank you
mahn ur so good.
I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!
i love you man
@MyMrwrestling no i am not! im actually doind ib?! which is similar to a levels! 2 years but more suffering definitely!!!
