The present paper examines impacts of foreign exchange rates against the Sudanese currency on savings. The increasing rates of foreign currencies in the domestic Sudanese Black markets have simultaneously resulted in the continuous depreciated Sudanese currency values over the past year...

This paper estimates the elasticity of intertemporal substitution in consumption (sigma). We exploit a natural experiment provided by a change in the Indian banking legislation which authorized all the deposit collecting institutions to offer a higher interest rate on deposits to citizens above...

In this paper, we analyze the determinants of corporate saving in the form of changes in the stock of cash for 11 Asian economies using firm-level data from the Oriana Database for the 2002–2011 period. We find some evidence that cash flow has a positive impact on the change in the stock of...

Hyperbolic discounting with naiveté is widely believed to provide a better explanation than exponential discounting of why people borrow so much and why they wait so long to save for retirement. We reach a different set of conclusions. We show that if financial planning is enriched to include...

This paper studies the implications of information-processing limits on the consumption and savings behavior of households through time. It presents a dynamic model in which consumers rationally choose the size and scope of the information they want to process about their financial...

The objective of this manuscript is to provide a simple guide to instructors and students on how to solve and simulate a discrete-time specification of the Life-Cycle/Permanent-Income Model of Consumption and Saving (LCPI Model) using only algebra and basic calculus. The solution and simulation...
