Abstract

A tanulmány a magyar háztartások megtakarítási és fogyasztási hajlandóságát elemzi háztartási felvételek és makroadatok alapján. Áttekinti a háztartások fogyasztási és megtakarítási döntéseit befolyásoló tényezőket, majd definiálja a pénzügyileg releváns háztartások csoportját, és meghatározza e csoport fontosabb jellemzőit. Egy, a magyar háztartások körében végzett adatfelvétel alapján vizsgálja a permanensjövedelem-hipotézis magyarországi érvényességét, a háztartások eladósodási hajlandóságát és e hajlandóságra ható tényezőket. Megállapítja, hogy a magyar háztartások eladósodása várhatóan erőteljesen növekszik a közeljövőben. Kimutatja, hogy a rövid távú jövedelmi várakozások alakulása pozitív hatással van az eladósodási hajlandóságra, de ugyanennyire fontos az iskolai végzettség szerepe. A háztartások kedvező rövid és hosszú távú jövedelmi várakozásai ceteris paribus az eladósodási (és ezzel a fogyasztási) hajlandóság növekedését jelzik ma Magyarországon. A szerzők a háztartások eladósodásának növekedését elsősorban a likviditási korlát oldódásával magyarázzák.
