“… A one-percentage point increase in the old-age dependency rate lowers the aggregate saving rate by 1.1 percentage points of GDP. The effect is, in absolute value, in the upper tail of estimates from other studies, which range from 0.3 (Aizenman, Cheung and Ito, 2016 [19] ), 0.6 (Kageyama J., 2003 [20] ; Kerdrain, Koske and Wanner, 2010 [21] ), 0.7 (Loayza, Schmidt-Hebbel and Servén, 2000 [7] ), to 1.3 and 1.5 (Bloom, Canning and Graham, 2003 [10] ; Bloom et al, 2006 [22] ). 5 The previous versions of the aggregate saving rate equation incorporated the Kerdrain, Koske and Wanner (2010 [21] ) estimate.…”
