CONCLUDING REMARKS""; ""APPENDIX I""; ""APPENDIX II""; ""APPENDIX III""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aThis paper provides detailed empirical evidence on the saving behavior of Irish households using micro data from the 1994/95 and 1999/2000 Household Budget Surveys. I employ synthetic cohort techniques to characterize the life cycle profile of saving rates and to examine the response of household saving to house price appreciation. The analysis suggests that households at the peak of their working lives have relatively low savings though there is no evidence of a generational savings gap. Also, despite housing being a major component of Irish households, wealth, there is no strong relationship between savings and housing capital gains. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/131 606 $aSaving and investment$zIreland 606 $aHousing$xPrices$zIreland 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aDemography$2imf 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aNonwage Labor Costs and Benefits$2imf 606 $aPrivate Pensions$2imf 606 $aEconomics of the Elderly$2imf 606 $aEconomics of the Handicapped$2imf 606 $aNon-labor Market Discrimination$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 606 $aRetirement$2imf 606 $aRetirement Policies$2imf 606 $aPensions$2imf 606 $aPopulation & demography$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aAging$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aPopulation aging$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 607 $aIreland$2imf 615 0$aSaving and investment 615 0$aHousing$xPrices 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aDemography 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aNonwage Labor Costs and Benefits 615 7$aPrivate Pensions 615 7$aEconomics of the Elderly 615 7$aEconomics of the Handicapped 615 7$aNon-labor Market Discrimination 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 615 7$aRetirement 615 7$aRetirement Policies 615 7$aPensions 615 7$aPopulation & demography 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aAging 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aPopulation aging 615 7$aEconomics 700 $aMoreno Badia$b Marialuz$01123353 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826316803321 996 $aWho Saves in Ireland?
