Abstract :
[en] This article compares savings behavior in a sample of 17 OECD countries over 24 years. On the basis
of an analysis of variance and of a life-cycle-hypothesis-based equation, we test the homogeneity of
households' savings behavior. It appears that one cannot really speak of a homogeneous saving
behavior across countries. This is a relevant finding in times of increasing economic and financial
integration.
