| dc.description.abstract | Household savings are important factors that contribute to most of the country's total savings. People decide to save for future consumption but also do so as a contingency plan against uncertainties. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship of regional location to household savings. The first part of this paper would analyze the effects of household characteristics like gender, age, and civil status, and income, educational attainment of the household head, urban-rural classification, household size, and other underlying demographic factors. Since the study has already been conducted in other countries, we then proceed to explaining why these demographics influence household decision making the way they do in the Philippines. Once we have determined each of their individual effects, these variables will be controlled for in our regression as we proceed to include regional location in our study. We hypothesize that regional location reflects geographical effects on household savings and it can serve as a measure for spatial dependency of the savings rate. | |
