CONCLUDING REMARKS""; ""APPENDIX I""; ""APPENDIX II""; ""APPENDIX III""; ""REFERENCES""This paper provides detailed empirical evidence on the saving behavior of Irish households using micro data from the 1994/95 and 1999/2000 Household Budget Surveys. I employ synthetic cohort techniques to characterize the life cycle profile of saving rates and to examine the response of household saving to house price appreciation. The analysis suggests that households at the peak of their working lives have relatively low savings though there is no evidence of a generational savings gap. Also, despite housing being a major component of Irish households, wealth, there is no strong relationship between savings and housing capital gains.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/131Saving and investmentIrelandHousingPricesIrelandLaborimfMacroeconomicsimfDemographyimfAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfNonwage Labor Costs and BenefitsimfPrivate PensionsimfEconomics of the ElderlyimfEconomics of the HandicappedimfNon-labor Market DiscriminationimfMacroeconomics: ConsumptionimfSavingimfWealthimfRetirementimfRetirement PoliciesimfPensionsimfPopulation & demographyimfLabourimfincome economicsimfIncomeimfAgingimfConsumptionimfPopulation agingimfEconomicsimfIrelandimfSaving and investmentHousingPricesLaborMacroeconomicsDemographyAggregate Factor Income DistributionNonwage Labor Costs and BenefitsPrivate PensionsEconomics of the ElderlyEconomics of the HandicappedNon-labor Market DiscriminationMacroeconomics: ConsumptionSavingWealthRetirementRetirement PoliciesPensionsPopulation & demographyLabourincome economicsIncomeAgingConsumptionPopulation agingEconomicsMoreno Badia Marialuz1123353DcWaIMFBOOK9910788405203321Who Saves in Ireland?
