Marginal propensity to save in China : a dynamic panel analysis on provincial data

In this paper, a dynamic panel analysis was conducted on the determinants of urban household savings rate in China. Panel data on Chinese provinces for the period 1995-2005 is divided broadly into three regions, namely inland, coastal and western. The paper consists of 2 main findings. Empirical res...
