The average propensity to save equals the ratio of total saving to total income; the marginal propensity to save equals the ratio of a change in saving to a change in income.
where x is the capital per labor, s ∈ ( 0, 1 ) is the average propensity to save and α = n + s μ with μ being the depreciation ratio of capital and n being the growth rate of labor; the mound-shaped production function F ( x ) = A x a ( 1 − x ) b (a, b and A are positive parameters) is of Cobb-Douglas type, and the factor ( 1 − x ) b reflects the influence of pollution on per capita output.
There is a general consensus among researchers and policymakers that matched savings programs can significantly increase the propensity to save among low-income households.
Household savings are characterised by a positive marginal propensity to save and a fixed intercept that may be positive or negative.
The sum of the propensity to consume and the propensity to save always equals one (see propensity to consume).
It's not that women are feckless about saving - overall women and men have a similar propensity to save.
Because households divide their incomes between consumption expenditures and saving, the sum of the propensity to consume and the propensity to save will always equal one.

As income is redistributed from labour to capital, it flows from those who have a higher marginal propensity to spend (low- and middle-income households) to those who have a higher marginal propensity to save (high-income households and corporations).
Propensity to save, in economics, the proportion of total income or of an increase in income that consumers save rather than spend on goods and services.
