@ARTICLE{Gradzewicz_Michał_How_2019, author={Gradzewicz, Michał}, number={No 1}, journal={Central European Journal of Economic Modelling and Econometrics}, pages={1-22}, howpublished={online}, year={2019}, publisher={Oddział PAN w Łodzi}, abstract={The literature investigates the relation between savings and interest rate mainly for household sector, but in recent decades households ceased to be the main source of savings in the economy. We try to identify how the savings of different sectors respond to the interest rate change using the SVAR methodology. We focus on Poland and generalize the results for other European economies. We find that although the household savings rate tends to rise after an increase of interest rate, the corporate savings simultaneously fall, inducing a negative conditional correlation between them. The responses of savings rate of general government and foreign savings are diverse (although the former usually declines after an interest rate increase) and does not seem to be related to factors like the membership in the currency union or the level of public debt. We also check the existence of the ‘crowding-out’ effects and conclude it only applies in the case of government savings crowding out household savings.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={How Do Savings of Different Sectors Respond to Interest Rate Change?}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/112900/PDF/mainFile.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cejeme.2019.129360}, keywords={savings, interest rates, responsiveness, sectoral analysis, SVAR}, }
