| Summary: | This paper examines empirical determinants of private saving for a sample of economies in Southeast Asia and Latin America over the period 1975-95.

The findings show that fiscal policy, particularly social security arrangements, influence private saving; also macroeconomic stability and financial deepening appear to have been important in accounting for differences in saving behavior between the two regions. |
