This paper examines the impact of demographic factors on saving, investment, and external balances. We derive a number of semi-structural equations from national accounting principle and the principle that external balances for the world as a whole must sum to zero. The resulting equations...

We investigate the cyclicality of the private savings to GDP ratio for a panel of 19 OECD countries over the period … 1971-2009. We find robust evidence that the private savings ratio is countercyclical. Three theories unambiguously predict … a higher private savings ratio during recessions: a Ricardian offset effect, the presence of credit constraints, and …
