How does risk affect saving? Empirical work typically examines the effects of detectible differences in risk within the … data. How these differences affect saving in theoretical models depends on the metric one uses for risk. For labor …-income risk, second-degree increases in risk require prudence to induce increased saving demand. However, prudence is not …
