Regional differences in personal saving rates in Spain

Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze, from an aggregate perspective, the differences in personal saving rates among the Spanish regions at the NUTS II level from 1986 to 1994. In accordance with the postulates of the life cycle hypothesis, we present the main economic determinants for personal saving rates obtained from an aggregate personal saving model. Correcting for temporal and spatial dependence in the empirical model, the analysis suggests the existence of a significant and negative relationship betwee… Show more

“…When the proportion of the elderly increases, the overall national saving rate will decline, i.e. the population ageing has a negative effect on the overall local national saving rate [10][11][12], and such a negative effect commonly is called as the 'Burden Effect' of ageing [13]. However, the empirical study on whether the 'burden effect' of ageing does exist bears a certain degree of controversy: when the samples chosen by the empirical study are different, especially when the chosen regions are different, the empirical conclusions will vary; when the empirical sample is the region of a comparatively backward economic development, the empirical research result commonly will support the existence of the 'burden effect' [14][15][16]; when the study sample is the region with a developed economy, the empirical research result commonly will query the existence of the 'burden effect' [17][18][19].…”

“…At this point it is necessary to indicate that due to the possible incidence of spatial factors in the designed model, a spatial econometric analysis was made following the guidelines established, among others, by Anselin (2002) and Basu & Thibodeau (1998) and by some studies dealing with the Spanish economy, such as the study by Marchante et al (2001). Thus, SPACESTAT software was used to verify the existence of spatial autocorrelation and/or spatial heterogeneity.…”
