As household asset values rise, should we still worry about the saving rate?

Recent changes in U. S. family finances: results from the 1998 Survey of Consumer Finances

Using data from the Federal Reserve Board's two most recent Surveys of Consumer Finances, this article provides a detailed picture of changes in the financial condition of U.S. families between 1995 and 1998. The financial situation of families changed notably in the three-year period. While income continued a moderate upward trend, net worth grew strongly, and the increase in net worth was broadly shared by different demographic groups.

The rigidity of choice: Lifecycle savings with information-processing limits

This paper studies the implications of information-processing limits on the consumption and savings behavior of households through time.
