| Abstract | We analyze urban household savings in China using micro data. We find that a number of factors can explain that change over time and the age profile of this important variable. In particular, households that migrated to the urban areas tend to save more. Also, home-owners who recently bought on the free market save more than tenants and home-owners who acquired their property long time ago or at the time of the housing reform. Finally, we investigate the role of pension reforms that took place in different years across different provinces. |
