The rural reforms begun in 1978 have substantially changed the composition of savings and investment in China. The household share of domestic savings had risen to 46 percent in 1984 from only 15 percent in 1978. In the earlier period, agriculture was characterized by collective farming, and the central government channelled rural labor and financial resources towards planned investments in agriculture. Since 1978, in contrast, farm households have gained greater control over the allocation of capital and labor resources. With farm households now the major decision-making units in the countryside, the national level of savings and the direction of investment for development depends in large measure on farm-household saving and investment behavior.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The rural reforms begun in 1978 have substantially changed the composition of savings and investment in China. The household share of domestic savings had risen to 46 percent in 1984 from only 15 percent in 1978. In the earlier period, agriculture was characterized by collective farming, and the central government channelled rural labor and financial resources towards planned investments in agriculture. Since 1978, in contrast, farm households have gained greater control over the allocation of capital and labor resources. With farm households now the major decision-making units in the countryside, the national level of savings and the direction of investment for development depends in large measure on farm-household saving and investment behavior.
520 $a This study undertakes a microeconomic analysis of the saving capacity, motivations for saving, and composition of investment of Chinese farm households, using data from a two year farm-household survey in Qingyuan county, Guangdong province. Keynesian, permanent income, and income-source savings functions are estimated econometrically. These savings functions allow the significance of a number of determinants, including composition of income, investment opportunities, and household demographic characteristics, to be tested. The determinants of total investment and the allocation of investment across financial assets, productive real investment, and nonproductive real investment are examined through the estimation of a set of investment demand equations.
520 $a The level of savings compared quite favorably with observed saving rates of farmers in other Asian countries. The desire to smooth consumption and stages in the life cycle of the household were both significant motivations for saving. The near tripling of the inflation rate in 1988, however, led to a significant decline in the saving rate for the second year of the survey. A wide range of households were investing in housing and consumer durables and these two "nonproductive" forms of investment accounted for 63 and 75 percent of total investment in 1987 and 1988, respectively. The level of both savings and investment responded positively to household income. The Government can still exert substantial policy influence over the level of savings and the direction of investment by raising rural income, real rates of interest, and the profitability of agriculture.
