Specifically, we identify the importance of different saving motives by …A major challenge in the study of saving behavior is how to disentangle different motives for saving. We approach this … the estimated model to evaluate the contribution of life-cycle, bequest, and precautionary motives to total savings. We …

In this paper, we present data on trends over time in domestic saving rates in twelve economies in developing Asia … during the 1966-2007 period and analyze the determinants of these trends. We find that domestic saving rates in developing … dependency ratio), income levels, and the level of financial sector development. We then project future trends in domestic saving …

We analyse life-cycle saving decisions when households use simple heuristics, or rules of thumb, rather than solve the … underlying intertemporal optimization problem. We simulate life-cycle saving decisions using three simple rules and compute … following simple decision rules are relatively low. Moreover, the two main saving motives re ected by the canonical life-cycle …
