An empirical analysis of savings behaviour of the Greek agricultural households
通过计量横截面分析,研究了希腊农业家庭储蓄的决定因素,发现边际储蓄倾向高于平均储蓄倾向,且受收入、财富、年龄、职业、收入不确定性和教育水平影响,其中可支配收入是最重要因素。
In this article, the author presents the results of an econometric cross-sectional analysis of determinants of the savings behavior of agricultural households in Greece. The estimates of bivariate and multivariate models indicate that: (1) the marginal propensity to save is higher than the average propensity to save and is differentiated among classes of income, wealth, age and profession, income uncertainty mostly due to climatic variations, and educational level; (2) the hypothesis that income uncertainty in Greece, as in other countries, raises the marginal propensity to save can be supported; and (3) the disposable income is the most important factor affecting agricultural savings.
