Public Policies and Household Saving in France --Contributors --Author Index --Subject IndexThe declining U.S. national saving rate has prompted economists and policymakers to ask, should the federal government encourage household saving, and if so, through which policies? In order to better understand saving programs, this volume provides a systematic and detailed description of saving policies in the G-7 industrialized nations: the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Each of the seven chapters focuses on one country and addresses a core set of topics: types of accumulated household savings and debt; tax policies toward capital income; saving in the form of public and private pensions, including Social Security and similar programs; saving programs that receive special tax treatment; and saving through insurance. This detailed summary of the saving incentives of the G-7 nations will be an invaluable reference for policymakers and academics interested in personal saving behavior.National Bureau of Economic Research project report.Saving and investmentGovernment policyTaxationSaving and investmentGovernment policy.Taxation.330.973339.4/3Poterba James M123221MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820229903321Public policies and household saving4097479UNINA
