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？
