Turkey - Country Economic Memorandum (CEM) : Sustaining High Growth - The Role of Domestic savings : Synthesis Report

REA Auditado

Domestic savings in Turkey declined
significantly in the 2000s. The domestic savings rate
declined from an average of 23.5 percent of gross national
income in the 1990s to an average of 17 percent over the
2000-2008 period, and further to 12.7 percent in 2010. This
decline was driven by the sharp fall in private saving,
while public saving increased through most of the period. A
strong fiscal adjustment underpinned the improvement in
public savings in the post-2001 period.

HOUSEHOLD SAVING IN CHILE (1988 AND 1997): TESTING THE LIFE CYCLE HYPOTHESIS

REA Auditado

Saving behavior at the household level in Chile has not been analyzed in recent decades. Based on 1988 and 1996-1997 Chilean microeconomic evidence (Household Budget Survey), this article studies household saving behavior. The analysis is extended to include broader definitions of saving such as investment in human capital and durable goods purchases. Income and permanent characteristics such as education are shown to be important determinants of the rate of household saving. Furthermore, we find an income/expenditure parallelism and positive saving rates for the elderly.

The Spanish savings banks and the competitive cooperation model (1928-2002)

REA Auditado

This paper explores the relationship between the nature of Spanish Savings banks and the extent of their market success during the twentieth century.

Serbia - Doing more with less : addressing the fiscal crisis by increasing public sector productivity

REA Auditado

With its economy disrupted by the global
economic crisis, the Serbian government faces tight budget
constraints for several years to come. The Government has
already responded by freezing wages and pension benefits and
making cuts in capital works and other discretionary
spending. These measures, while effective in the short term,
are not necessarily sustainable over time.

Does Insurance Market Activity Promote Economic Growth? A Cross-Country Study for Industrialized and Developing Countries

REA Auditado

Insurance market activity may contribute to economic growth, both as financial intermediary and provider of risk transfer and indemnification, by allowing different risks to be managed more efficiently and by mobilizing domestic savings. During the last decade, there has been faster growth in insurance market activity, particularly in emerging markets, given the process of financial liberalization and integration, which raises questions about the overall impact on economic growth.

Can a country grow faster by saving more? In their theoretical model, growth results from innovations that allow local sectors to catch up with frontier technology.

Integral formulation of the measured equation of invariance: a novel sparse matrix boundary element method

REA Auditado

A novel integral formulation of the measured equation of invariance method is derived from the reciprocity theorem and implemented for perfectly conducting (PEC) 2-D scattering problems. This formulation uses the electric and magnetic Green's functions of the environment to obtain a matrix equation for the induced surface current with the same number of unknowns as the conventional boundary element-method of moments (BE-MoM) approach. However, the matrix that must be inverted in the new formulation is sparse and circulant, with only three non-zero elements per row.
