has high savings rates. These high savings rates have helped finance high rates of capital accumulation and growth.
Why have East Asian savings rates been so high? Culture? Luck?
Will it last?

Consumption Facts
Consumption movements are closely correlated with GDP. In other words, consumption is pro-cyclical.
Consumption volatility is overall somewhat less than output volatility.
The volatility of consumer durables purchases is much greater than the volatility of services or non-durables.
![Page 8: Consumption & Saving Chapter 13. East Asian Savings Rates As a region, East Asia has high savings rates. These high savings rates have helped finance](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6a5503460f94a4836c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why do People Save? Life Cycle Motives – Income is Not Smooth
Across Time. Households save, in part, to transfer income from high income periods to low income periods.
Precautionary Motives – Households like to achieve a buffer stock of wealth in the case of a possible bad outcome. If households have a buffer stock of saving, bad outcomes in terms of income don’t result in really bad outcomes in terms of consumption.
![Page 9: Consumption & Saving Chapter 13. East Asian Savings Rates As a region, East Asia has high savings rates. These high savings rates have helped finance](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6a5503460f94a4836c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Life Cycle Motives: Two Period Model
To examine life-cycle theory, we use simplest possible model.
One good consumed by a household that lives two periods, C1 and C2.
Money price of goods is P1 and P2. Household lives and earns money
income PY1 and PY2 in each period. Household can buy/sell bonds, B, at
nominal interest rate i.

Temporal Budget Constraints First period, period 0.
B = PY0 – P0C0 1)
Second period, period 1. P1 C1=PY1+(1+i)B 2)
Note B can be either > or < 0. If B > 0, household is a saver. If B < 0, household is a borrower.

Present Value Many assets can be described as an income stream
paying a certain amount of dollars in each period in the future: $Y1, $Y2, $Y3…..$YN.
Q: How much is the current value of such an income stream? A: Current payments are worth more than future
payments, since current money can be saved at interest.

Value of a Future Payment Consider two payments. I could pay
you $YN in N periods or pay you a smaller value today, .
You put the smaller amount in the bank at interest rate i. After 1 period you will have . After 2 periods you will have .
After N periods you will have The two payments have equal value.

Preferences People prefer some combinations of
present and future consumption. More is better. If two combo’s have equal
future consumption, choose the combo with more present consumption.
Smooth over time. Households have diminishing returns to consumption in any period.
Preferences are represented by indifference curves – Smooth sets of combo’s amongst which the household is indifferent.

Optimal Choice Preferences represent combo’s the
household would like to have. Budget represents combo’s the household
can have. Optimal choice is to choose the point on the
budget constraint which is part of the highest available indifference curve.
This indifference curve will be exactly tangent to the budget at the optimal point.

Implications
Because of diminishing returns to consumption, will lie in the middle. That is consumption will be smooth over time.
Optimal current consumption will depend only on lifetime present wealth, not on income in any time period.

Income Stream & Consumption Consider three hypothetical increases in income of
$100. 1. A Temporary Increase – Y0 increase by 100, but Y1 is
unchanged. This will increase W by 100.2. A Future Increase – Y1 increases by 100, but Y0 is
unchanged. W increases by 100/1+r≈1003. A Permanent Increase – Y0 & Y1 increase by 100. W
increases by 100(2+r/1+r) ≈200 Cases 1 & 2 increase W by nearly identical amounts.
But current consumption depends only on W. Thus, cases 1 & 2 will increase by similar amounts.
Case 3 increases W by nearly double the amount.

Income Stream and Savings In the first case, future income does not
rise but optimal future consumption, C2* does . Current savings must rise.
In the second case, current income does not rise, but optimal current consumption. Current savings must fall.
What happens to savings with a permanent change in income?
![Page 25: Consumption & Saving Chapter 13. East Asian Savings Rates As a region, East Asia has high savings rates. These high savings rates have helped finance](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6a5503460f94a4836c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Annuity Value Just as any stream of future payments has
a present value, so does it have an annuity value.
An annuity is an asset that makes a constant payment every period, for a number of years, N. Such an annuity has a present value.
The annuity value of any amount is the size of the payment of an annuity whose present value is equal that amount.

Permanent Income Theory
The permanent income theory says that households keep consumption smooth consuming the annuity value of their financial wealth, F, plus the present value of lifetime income, W.

Example
The fraction is referred to as the propensity to consume out of wealth.
A household lives for = 40 periods and the real interest rate is .02. In every period they would consume a fraction of their wealth equal to

Applications: Wealth Effect Changes in asset prices will change the
current value of financial wealth. The effect of an increase in financial wealth
on consumption is called the wealth effect. According to the PIH, a one dollar increase
in the value of a stock portfolio should lead to an increase in consumption equal to the propensity to consume out of wealth.
Econometricians estimate that the wealth effect to be less than $.05 consistent with our theory.

Application: Life Cycle of Saving Permanent Income Hypothesis suggests
that households like to keep a constant profile of consumption over time.
Age profile of income however is not constant. Income is low in childhood, rises during maturity and reaches a peak in mid-1950’s and drops during retirement.
This generates a time profile for savings defined as the difference between income and consumption.

East Asian Demographics
During last 25 years, East Asian Nations had a sharp decrease in their ‘dependency ratio’.
Dependency ratio is the % of people in their non-working years (children & seniors.
Dependents are dis-savers and non-dependents are savers.
![Page 34: Consumption & Saving Chapter 13. East Asian Savings Rates As a region, East Asia has high savings rates. These high savings rates have helped finance](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6a5503460f94a4836c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
East Asian Demographics Due to plummeting
birth rates, East Asia had a plummeting ratio of youths as a share of population
This put a large share of population in high savings years.
Share of prime age adults has hit its peak in most Asian countries and will fall over the next half century.

Interest Rates: Incentives and Effects A rise in interest rates increases the payoff to savings
and increases the incentive to save. Substitution Effect (Plus Factor for All)
A rise in the interest rate reduces the amount of savings you need to do to meet target level of future consumption. Income Effect (Minus Factor for Net Savers).
A rise in the interest rate reduces the amount of borrowing you can do and still meet some target lever of future consumption. Income Effect (Plus Factor for Net Borrowers)
![Page 36: Consumption & Saving Chapter 13. East Asian Savings Rates As a region, East Asia has high savings rates. These high savings rates have helped finance](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6a5503460f94a4836c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Aggregate Savings & Interest Rates Interest rates have a positive impact on
savings by borrowers, i.e. borrowers reduce their borrowing.
Interest rates have an ambiguous effect on savings by savers.
Since there is positive net savings, interest rates have ambiguous effect on aggregate savings.
Empirically, impact of interest rates on savings are hard to detect.

Consumption & Business Cycles
Consumption fluctuates more over the business cycle than can be accounted for permanent income hypothesis.
Two Explanations for co-movement of consumption with current income Borrowing Constraints Permanent Income Hypothesis
![Page 38: Consumption & Saving Chapter 13. East Asian Savings Rates As a region, East Asia has high savings rates. These high savings rates have helped finance](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6a5503460f94a4836c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Borrowing Constraints Though dollar changes in financial wealth
may have relatively small effects on optimal consumption, for some people current income matters more.
If your optimal consumption is greater than your income you need to borrow to reach that consumption.
But if you cannot borrow the most you can consume is your income.
In this case, your present income is very important for current consumption.

Precautionary Savings Many people are buffer stock savers
holding a stock of savings to protect against a rainy day.
When the economy gets worse, the likelihood of a rainy day increases and people tend to save more.
Again this suggests a stronger relationship between current income and consumption than indicated by permanent income theory.

Consumption, Income & the Multiplier Effect
Real consumption is a function of current income which is a function of GDP.
Consumption is a major component of GDP.
There is positive feedback between consumption and GDP which is called the multiplier effect.

Open Economy Multiplier Consumption is a linear function of current
GDP.C = A + mpc ∙Y
Some consumption is imports, so imports are also a function of current GDP.
IM = B + mpim ∙Y (Assume mpim < mpc)
By accounting identity, GDP is a function of consumption and imports
Y = C + I + G – IM + EX

Multiplier Effect
We can calculate the effect of an autonomous increase in demandY = A + mpc ∙Y + I + G + EX – B-mpim ∙Y
Y = A-B + (mpc-mpim) ∙Y + I + G+ EX
Define mpd = mpc-mpim (1-mpd) ∙Y =A – B+ I + G+ EX

Multiplier Effect An exogenous change in demand has
a larger effect on total demand, the larger is the effect of current GDP on consumption of domestic goods.
If budget constraints or precautionary savings are important then mpc may be high and mpd high.
If economy is very open, like HK mpim may be high and mpd low.
