Precautionary saving was first modelled by Leland (1968), Sandmo (1970) and Drèze & Modigliani (1972), and then later by Kimball (1993). The measure of savers' prudence in reaction to an exogenous income risk has been the subject of a large empirical literature, which has yet to reach a consensus. One approach uses simulation methods to calibrate theoretical models on real data, and concludes that about half of all saving is precautionary, while econometric work on the same problem produces much lower figures for the share of precautionary saving of between 1% and 20%. The main goal of this paper is to quantify the extent of precautionary saving by French savers who face risks regarding their future income. The empirical analysis is based o...
