摘要: 基于数理推导,发现预期寿命和死亡率存在倒数关系,借助这一关系,运用有限生命的拉姆齐模型,推得预期寿命与储蓄率之间存在正相关关系。为了检验这一结论,使用2000—2017年中国31个省份的面板数据进行基准估计,在运用面板工具变量法克服内生性问题,逐步增加控制变量个数、替换被解释变量等稳健性检验之后,估计结果依然支持基准估计和理论分析的结论。该结论的政策含义是:适当延长老年人退休年龄,建立健全养老保障制度,降低因预期寿命延长带来的老年人的预防性储蓄动机,从而刺激消费。

Abstract: Based on mathematical deduction, it is found that there is a reciprocal relationship between life expectancy and mortality. By adopting the Ramsey model of limited life, it is deduced that there is a positive correlation between life expectancy and savings rate. In order to verify this conclusion, a panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2000 to 2017 were used for benchmark estimation. After using the dynamic panel instrumental variable method to overcome the endogenous problem, and adopting such robustness tests as gradually increasing the number of control variables and replacing the explained variables, the results still support the conclusion of the theoretical analysis. The policy implication of this conclusion is: appropriately extend the retirement years of the elderly, establish a sound pension security system, and reduce the elderly's preventive savings motivation to stimulate consumption.

Key words: life expectancy; savings rate; Ramsey model; fixed effect; dynamic panel
