摘要
Since the reform and opening policy, China has maintained remarkable high national saving rates for over 35 years. Especially from 2000 to 2008, the national saving rate in China rose by an unprecedented 40%. This paper is the first paper that studies the role of early retirement and pension system as drivers of China’s persistent high savings. The model in this paper is a closed economy life-cycle model. The model incorporates China’s fact of early retirement and the 1990s pension reform. The findings suggest that, qualitatively, the model is capable of generating changes in the national saving rate in China and the early retirement effect contributes to the majority of the growth and fluctuation in the saving rate while both early retirement effect and wealth substitution effect have a positive impact on the saving rate; quantitatively, the model can explain approximately 66% of the increase in the saving rate between 1995 and 2012.
