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.National Bureau of Economic Research project report.HouseholdsEconomic aspectsCase studiesCongressesSaving and investmentCase studiesCongressesHouseholdsEconomic aspectsSaving and investment339.4/3Poterba James M123221MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956158603321International comparisons of household saving4363698UNINA
