Book Synopsis House Prices and Household Saving Rate by : Binzhen Wu
Download or read book House Prices and Household Saving Rate written by Binzhen Wu and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, China's house prices have skyrocketed along with its continually rising household saving rate. Can rising house prices be an important contributor to the increase in household saving rate? Using data from an urban household survey in China, we find that, on average, local house prices do not significantly change household saving rate, regardless of whether housing expenditure is classified as current consumption. When house prices increase, however, households with single male adults, house renters, and owners of homes with below-average value show a significant increase in saving rate. By contrast, households with single female adults and owners of homes with above-average value do not show changes in saving rate.

Book Synopsis Housing Prices and the High Chinese Saving Rate Puzzle by : Xin Wang
Download or read book Housing Prices and the High Chinese Saving Rate Puzzle written by Xin Wang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's over 25% aggregate household saving rate is one of the highest in the world. One popular view attributes the high saving rate to fast-rising housing prices in China. However, cross-sectional data do not show a significant relationship between housing prices and household saving rates. This article uses a simple consumption-saving model to explain why rising housing prices per se cannot explain China's high household saving rate. Although borrowing constraints and demographic changes can translate housing prices to the aggregate saving rate, quantitative simulations of our model using Chinese time-series data on household income, housing prices, and demographics indicate that rising mortgage costs can increase the aggregate saving rate by at most 2 to 4 percentage points in the best down-payment structure.
Book Synopsis House Prices and Home Owner Saving Behavior by : Gary V. Engelhardt
Download or read book House Prices and Home Owner Saving Behavior written by Gary V. Engelhardt and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the empirical link between house price appreciation and the savings behavior of home owners during the 1980s. The analysis uses household asset and debt data for a sample of under age sixty-five home owning households from the 1984 and 1989 waves of the PSID to construct changes in real household wealth as a measure of household saving behavior. Cross-time and cross-regional variation in housing market conditions are used to identify behavior savings effects. The empirical analysis suggests that the estimated marginal propensity to consume out of real housing capital gains is 0.03 for the median saver household. However, there is an asymmetry in the saving response to both total and unanticipated real housing capital gains. All of the savings offset comes from households that experience real housing capital losses. Households that experience real gains do not change their saving behavior. The existence of this asymmetry casts doubt on the power of changes in house prices to explain the time series path of saving in the U.S.

Book Synopsis Household Deleveraging and Saving Rates: A Cross-Country Analysis by : Romain Bouis
Download or read book Household Deleveraging and Saving Rates: A Cross-Country Analysis written by Romain Bouis and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically high household debt in several economies is calling for a deleveraging, but according to some economists, this adjustment can slow GDP growth by weighing on consumption. Using a sample of advanced and emerging market economies, this paper finds evidence of a negative relationship between changes of household debt-to-income ratios and saving rates. This relationship is however asymmetric, being significant only for debt build-ups. Declining debt ratios and saving are significantly related in some economies, but the relationship is driven by consumer credit, not by mortgages. Results therefore suggest that the economic cost associated with household deleveraging may be overestimated and motivate a deleveraging via lower mortgages.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Declining House Prices on Household Savings. A Theoretical and Empirical Study of the Dutch Case by : Eduard Suari Andreu
Download or read book The Effect of Declining House Prices on Household Savings. A Theoretical and Empirical Study of the Dutch Case written by Eduard Suari Andreu and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper I analyse the effect of a decrease in house prices on the savings of households. The life cycle model predicts that homeowners compensate an unexpected decrease in home equity by increasing their savings, and that the effect becomes stronger as the age of the household increases. To test these hypotheses I use panel data from the Dutch Central Bank Household Survey (DHS) for the period between 2003 and 2013. The results of the econometric analysis show a negative and significant effect on the savings of homeowners of the yearly price change in the second hand housing market. The effect becomes stronger with age and it appears to be asymmetric between positive and negative changes in house prices.However, homeowners do not appear to react neither to self-reported measures of house price changes nor to their own one-year expectations about future house prices. This might be because, on the one hand, households are not consistent in the way they report changes in the price of the own house, and, on the other hand, longer term expectations may be more important than one-year expectations.
Book Synopsis The Effect of House Prices on Home Owners Savings by : Askar Darmenov
Download or read book The Effect of House Prices on Home Owners Savings written by Askar Darmenov and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis investigates the correlation between house prices and home owners savings. The data from Panel Study of Income Dynamics is used to construct a sample of under age 65 home owning households for period of 1999-2005. Results of analysis suggests that on average increasing of house value has negative affect on households savings with magnitude of 4 cents per each dollar. The recent housing market crisis shows that housing wealth is not an absolutely reliable source of financial wealth even though perceived as stable saving instrument. So, actual existence of established relationship might be a source of concern about households financial security. Households who save less in response to housing prices increase are more vulnerable to the crises on the housing market.
Book Synopsis Is Housing Wealth an "ATM"? by : Vladimir Klyuev
Download or read book Is Housing Wealth an "ATM"? written by Vladimir Klyuev and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the role increasing personal wealth and home equity withdrawal (HEW) have had in the decline in the personal saving rate in the United States. It does so by comparing the U.S. experience with those of Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Mortgage market liberalization and innovation should reduce household cash flow and collateral constraints while making housing wealth more liquid as HEW becomes easier over time. Regression analysis indicates the expected negative relationship between U.S. saving and net worth, with a somewhat smaller coefficient than in previous studies. HEW is estimated to have a temporary negative impact on saving of the order of 20 cents on the dollar.
Book Synopsis Income Uncertainty and Household Savings in China by : Mr.Marcos Chamon
Download or read book Income Uncertainty and Household Savings in China written by Mr.Marcos Chamon and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s household saving rate has increased markedly since the mid-1990s and the age-savings profile has become U-shaped. We find that rising income uncertainty and pension reforms help explain both of these phenomena. Using a panel of Chinese households covering the period 1989-2006, we document that strong average income growth has been accompanied by a substantial increase in income uncertainty. Interestingly, the permanent variance of household income remains stable while it is the transitory variance that rises sharply. A calibration of a buffer-stock savings model indicates that rising savings rates among younger households are consistent with rising income uncertainty and higher saving rates among older households are consistent with a decline in the pension replacement ratio for those retiring after 1997. We conclude that rising income uncertainty and pension reforms can account for over half of the increase in the urban household savings rate in China since the mid-1990s as well as the U-shaped age-profile of savings.
Book Synopsis Why is the Household Saving Rate So Low?. by :
Download or read book Why is the Household Saving Rate So Low?. written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite mostly favorable economic conditions since the early 1990s, one development -- the focus of this report -- may be cause for concern. While the economy was growing, household saving fell to next to nothing. At the beginning of the 1990s, households saved, on average, about 8% of their after-tax income. Since then it has steadily declined, and in 2005 the proportion of income households set aside had fallen close to zero. One of the most striking aspects of the economic expansion of the 1990s was the dramatic rise in equity prices. Between 1991, the beginning of the expansion, and 2001, the year it ended, the Standard and Poor's index of 500 stock prices rose by 217%, and the NASDAQ stock price index increased by 313%. The standard economic model of saving behavior assumes that households are likely to spend more and save less out of current income given an increase in their wealth. Given that, it seems reasonable to suppose that those increases in equity prices had something to do with the decline in the personal saving rate. A number of studies have found that the decline in the personal saving rate during the 1990s was due at least in part to the rise in equity prices. The stock market peaked in the second half of 2000. Between September 2000 and October 2002, the S&P 500 fell by 46%, while Nasdaq fell by about 75% from its 2000 peak. Since then stock prices have recovered, but they remained below the 2000 peak through late 2005. Even though the stock market boom ended, the household saving rate continued to decline. That household saving continued to be anemic even after the stock market cooled suggests that there are other factors that need to be considered. One candidate is the boom in the housing market. Since late 1997, the price of housing has risen rapidly. Between 1997 and 2005, house prices rose by an average of about 80%. While there are reasons to think that housing price appreciation might not be a good substitute for saving, a number of empirical studies, while not quite a consensus, found evidence to suggest that it might. When changes in personal wealth are taken into account, the decline in the official saving measure may be less of an issue, although there will always be concerns about the durability of any gains in asset prices. With respect to the household sector's contribution to total national saving, that has clearly fallen. Meanwhile investment spending has risen relative to gross domestic product (GDP), in spite of the decline in personal saving, due to the increase in capital inflows from abroad. Some of the productivity gains likely to result from that increased investment, however, will benefit foreign rather than domestic investors. If house prices come down in the future, however, as happened to equity prices, households will end up with less wealth than they anticipate. That would make the current low saving rate seem more of a problem. This report will not be updated.
Book Synopsis International Comparisons of Household Saving by : James M. Poterba
Download or read book International Comparisons of Household Saving written by James M. Poterba and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments and corporations may chip in, but around the world houshold saving is the biggest factor in national saving. To better understand why saving rates differ across countries, this volume provides the most up-to-date analyses of patterns of household saving behavior in Canada, Italy, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each of the six chapters examines micro data sets of household saving within a particular country and summarizes statistics on patterns of saving by age, income, and other demographic factors. The authors provide age-earning profiles and analyses of the accumulation of wealth over the lifetime in a clear way that allows quick comparisons between earning, consumption, and saving in the six countries. Designed as a companion to Public Policies and Household Saving (1994), which addresses saving policies in the G-7 nations, this volume offers detailed descriptions of saving behavior in all G-7 nations except France.
Book Synopsis Housing Markets in the United States and Japan by : Yukio Noguchi
Download or read book Housing Markets in the United States and Japan written by Yukio Noguchi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Japan and the United States are the world's leading economies, there are significant differences in the ways their wealth is translated into living standards. A careful comparison of housing markets illustrates not only how living standards in the two countries differ, but also reveals much about saving patterns and how they affect wealth accumulation. In this volume, ten essays discuss the evolution of housing prices, housing markets and personal savings, housing finance, commuting, and the impact of public policy on housing markets. The studies reveal surprising differences in housing investment in the two countries. For example, because down payments in Japan are much higher than in the United States, Japanese tend to delay home purchases relative to their American counterparts. In the United States, the advent of home equity credit may have reduced private saving overall. This book is the first comparison of housing markets in Japan and the United States, and its findings illuminate the effects of housing markets on productivity growth, business investment, and trade.
Book Synopsis China’s High Savings: Drivers, Prospects, and Policies by : Ms.Longmei Zhang
Download or read book China’s High Savings: Drivers, Prospects, and Policies written by Ms.Longmei Zhang and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s high national savings rate—one of the highest in the world—is at the heart of its external/internal imbalances. High savings finance elevated investment when held domestically, or lead to large external imbalances when they flow abroad. Today, high savings mostly emanate from the household sector, resulting from demographic changes induced by the one-child policy and the transformation of the social safety net and job security that occured during the transition from planned to market economy. Housing reform and rising income inequality also contribute to higher savings. Moving forward, demographic changes will put downward pressure on savings. Policy efforts in strengthening the social safety net and reducing income inequality are also needed to reduce savings further and boost consumption.
Book Synopsis Growth and International Trade by : Karl Farmer
Download or read book Growth and International Trade written by Karl Farmer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and updated for the 2nd edition, this textbook guides the reader towards various aspects of growth and international trade in a Diamond-type overlapping generations framework. Using the same model type throughout the book, timely topics such as growth with bubbles, robots and involuntary unemployment, financial integration and house price dynamics, policies to mitigate climate change and the persistence of religion in a globalized market economy are explored. The first part starts from the “old” growth theory and bridges to the “new” growth theory (including R&D and human capital approaches). The second part presents an intertemporal equilibrium theory of inter- and intra-sectoral trade, investigates innovation, growth and trade and limits to public debt as well as nationally and internationally optimal climate policies. The debt dynamics of the Euro Zone and the origins of intra-EMU and Asian-US trade imbalances are also explored. The book is primarily addressed to upper undergraduate and graduate students wishing to proceed to the analytically more demanding journal literature.

Download or read book Social Security written by Paul O. Deaven and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Security, in the United States, currently refers to the Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program. The original Social Security Act[1] and the current version of the Act, as amended encompass several social welfare or social insurance programs. The larger and better known initiatives of the program are: Federal Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance; Unemployment Insurance; Temporary Assistance to Needy Families; Health Insurance for Aged and Disabled (Medicare); Grants to States for Medical Assistance Programs (Medicaid); State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP); Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Social Security in the United States is a social insurance program funded through dedicated payroll taxes called Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA). The term, in everyday speech, is used only to refer to the benefits for retirement, disability, survivorship, and death, which are the four main benefits provided by traditional private-sector pension plans. By dollars paid, the U.S. Social Security program is the largest government program in the world. Largely because of solvency questions ranging from immediate crisis to large projected future shortfalls, reform of the Social Security system has been a major political issue for more than three decades. This book presents the latest issues and developments related to this program.
