Reviews

How do social security programs and private financial institutions, such as the rules governing mortgage borrowing, affect household saving? This volume meticulously analyzes panel data from six nations to offer new insights on both of these long-standing questions. The results are essential reading for anyone interested in saving, social insurance policy, or capital formation. --James Poterba, Mitsui Professor of Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology This valuable set of studies takes an enormous step towards resolving the puzzling differences in saving rates between countries by focusing on the complex interaction between public policies and individual motives to save. The volume is critical to readers seeking to understand the effects of social policies on national saving and to those trying to deal with public pension crises in developed countries. --Steven F. Venti, Department of Economics, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, U.S.A.
