We use panel data techniques to explore the possible non-linearity between it. We show that the dependency ratio, when is significant, negatively affects gross saving rates. Besides, life expectancy has non-linear effects on saving rates and rising longevity is a main factor to explain saving rates at national levels. European countries are concerned about the delivery of benefits and services and financial sustainability of their welfare state and increase gross national savings rates can help to fill this gap.}, publisher = {Universidad de Vigo}, publisher = {GEN Working Paper B: Regional and sectoral economics, 2018-3}, title = {Testing the effect of population ageing on national saving rates: panel data evidence from Europe}, author = {Pascual Sáez, Marta and Cantarero Prieto, David and González Diego, María}, }
