Does consumer sentiment predict regional consumption?
Owyang, Michael T.; Hernandez-Murillo, Ruben; Garrett, Thomas A. (2005-03)
This paper tests the ability of consumer sentiment to predict retail spending at the state level. The results here suggest that, although there is a significant relationship between consumer sentiment measures and retail sales growth in several states, consumer sentiment exhibits only modest predictive power for future changes in retail spending. Measures of consumer sentiment, however, contain additional explanatory power beyond the information available in other indicators. By restricting attention to fluctuations in retail sales that occur at the business cycle frequency, the authors ...

Why are (some) consumers (finally) writing fewer checks?: the role of payment characteristics
Stavins, Joanna; Schuh, Scott (2009)
Since the mid-1990s, the U.S. payment system has been undergoing a transformation featuring a significant decline in the use of paper checks that has been quite uneven across consumers and not well understood. This paper estimates econometric models of consumers? adoption (extensive margin) and use (intensive margin) of checks plus six other common U.S. payment instruments, using a comprehensive new data source on consumer payment choice. We find that payment characteristics are the most important determinants of payment instrument use. Plausible changes in the relative convenience and cost ...

Can rising housing prices explain China’s high household saving rate?
Wen, Yi; Wang, Xin (2011-03)
China?s average household saving rate is one of the highest in the world. One popular view attributes the high saving rate to fast-rising housing prices and other living costs in China. This article uses simple economic logic to show that rising housing prices and living costs per se cannot explain China?s high household saving rate. Although borrowing constraints and demographic changes can help translate housing prices to the aggregate saving rate, quantitative simulations using Chinese data on household income, housing prices, and demographics indicate that rising mortgage costs contribute ...

Is saving too low in the United States?
Cullison, William E. (1990-05)
Many observers contend that the U.S. savings rate has declined in recent years and that it lags behind the savings rates of our trading partners.
