Saving, Wealth, and the Exchange-Bequest Motive

Author

Listed:
  • William A. Lord

Abstract

A model of exchange-motivated bequests based upon childrens' "attentions" to parents, provided when the children are young adults, is joined to a standard life-cycle specification to examine the consequences for wealth and savings. The results of general equilibrium simulations show contribution to be far below some recent estimates. Exchange-motivated bequests produce offsets to life-cycle savings that limit their ability to increase total savings.
