Wealth effects on world private financial saving

Ray C. Fair

International Economics, 2017, issue 149, 15-26

Abstract: This paper shows that about 70% of the variance of the yearly change in the world private financial saving rate can be explained by lagged changes in world stock and housing values for the sample period 1982–2013. A theory consistent with these results is that world asset-value changes affect world consumption and investment spending, which affects the world private financial saving rate.
