International Evidence on the Determinants of Private Saving
利用工业国和发展中国家的大样本数据，考察了公共储蓄、外国储蓄、人口结构、经济增长、利率和贸易条件对私人储蓄率的影响，发现这些因素的作用在不同收入水平下存在差异。
A broad set of possible determinants of private saving behavior is examined using data for a large sample of industrial and developing countries. Both time-series and crosssectional estimates are obtained. Results suggest that there is a partial offset on private saving of changes in public saving and (for developing countries) in foreign saving, that demographics and growth are important determinants of private saving rates, and that interest rates and terms of trade have positive, but less robust, effects. Increases in per capita gross domestic product seem to increase saving at low income levels (relative to the United States) but decrease it at higher ones.
