10 The Age Composition of Population,the Endo wment Insurance System and Optimal Savings Ratio in China Y uan Zhi gang & S ong Zheng In recent years,chinese urban and township households saving ratio has amounted to a very high lev2 el. In order to explain the puzzle,we first establish a simple overlapping generation model that can ob2 tain t he main characteristics of endowment insurance system in China. Then we find t hat aging of pop2 ulation will generally stimulate people to save more. Because aging of population is t he nat ural result of family plan,it may be one of the most important factors which cause the high savings ratio in Chinese urban and township households and our quantitative result s support t he above judgement. Finally,we discuss the problem of golden rule in China. Due to many reasons,we believe that the current private optimal savings ratio in China is not equal to social optimal savings ratio and reduce savings ratio could be a Pareto improving. An Empirical Study of Precautionary Savings of Urban and To wnship Inhabitants in China L ong Zhihe & Zhou Haom i ng This paper selects the panel data of Chinese urban and township inhabitants from 1991 to 1998 by us2 ing inst rumental variables and GMM ( generalized met hod of moment s) to estimate t he precautionary savings model. The research result s reveal t hat Chinese urban and township inhabitant s have obvious precautionary savings motivation. The second section of t his paper briefly reviews t he similar st udies conducted in China and abroad,focusing on Dynan s precautionary savings model. The t hird section ex2 plains the data and the estimation method adopted in this study. The last section presents the results of the empirical study of the precautionary savings of Chinese urban and township inhabitants and the theoretical analysis of factors that cause the Inhabitants precautionary savings. 79
