Why Are Saving Rates of Urban Households in China Rising?
From 1995 to 2005, the average urban household savings rate in China rose by 7 percentage points, to about one-quarter of disposable income. Savings rates increased across all demographic groups, and the age profile of savings has an unusual pattern in recent years, with younger and older households having relatively high savings rates. We argue that these patterns are best explained by the rising private burden of expenditures on housing, educat…
Does financial globalization promote risk sharing
A Pragmatic Approach to Capital Account Liberalization
In the mid-1990s, mainstream economists of nearly all stripes commonly recommended capital account liberalization-that is, allowing a free flow of funds in and out of a country's economy-as an essential step in the process of economic development. But then came the East Asian financial crisis of 1997-98, in which even seemingly healthy and well-managed economies like those of South Korea were engulfed by massive capital outflows and tremendous cu…

Inequality, Transfers, and Growth: New Evidence from the Economic Transition in Poland
This paper analyzes the evolution of inequality in Poland during the economic transition that began in 1989-1990. Using microdata from the Household Budget Surveys, we find that, after a brief spike in 1989, income and consumption inequality actually declined to below pretransition levels during 1990-1992 and then increased gradually, rising only moderately above pretransition levels by 1997. In sharp contrast, inequality in labor earnings increa…
