内容説明
The studies in the first part of this volume focus on measurement issues associated with national saving and its sectoral components. An historical perspective on saving in 11 OECD countries during the last 100 years is also presented. This is followed by analysis of private and household saving ratios in the US, Japan, Italy and the Nordic countries. Distinctions are made between eg. "low" savers such as the Nordic countries and "high" savers such as Japan and Italy. Saving behaviour in less developed countries is also analyzed, with an emphasis on the interaction between liquidity constraints, uncertainties and the lack of insurance markets. Based on numerical simulations of the impact of demographic changes on capital formation, another study argues for the usefulness of generational accounts instead of the usual fiscal deficits and surpluses in considering the relationships between fiscal policy and saving. The final two papers are a review of the relationship between national saving and domestic investment, and a study of the determination of world interest rates via the interaction of world saving and investment.
Many of the contributions in this volume stress the view that the life-cycle hypothesis cannot account for some of the major features of saving behaviour and that capital market imperfections and liquidity constraints may provide a promising way to proceed so that the low-frequency features of data, such as the close relationship between consumption and income, can be understood.
