Saving Behavior under the Influence of Income Risk: An Experimental Study
2010
Individual subjects are experimentally tested for precautionary saving. We use a simplified experimental framework and decision supporting tool to show that subject's consumption is consistent with precautionary saving. We find that subjects overact in changing current income. However, those over-reactions cancel each other, and subject's consumption behavior is close to the optimal solutions on average.
