内容提要：
In this paper we investigate the factors behind the increase in the national saving rate in China since 1980s. We find that a general equilibrium model that captures the role of family support, changes in demographics, and the increase in the productivity growth rate properly is capable of generating changes in the saving rate that mimic the data remarkably well. Our results indicate that high productivity growth observed in China can explain about half of the increase in the saving rate. The rest of the increase comes from the interaction between the decline in the fertility rate and the shortcomings of the old-age support provided by the government in China.
