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. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aSaving and investment$xGovernment policy 606 $aTaxation 615 0$aSaving and investment$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aTaxation. 676 $a330.973 676 $a339.4/3 701 $aPoterba$b James M$0123221 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820229903321 996 $aPublic policies and household saving$94097479 997 $aUNINA
