摘要

本文调查了2019冠状病毒病对撒哈拉以南非洲地区私人储蓄和经济活动的影响。我们利用至少13个SSA经济体的数据发现，在2019冠状病毒病期间，SSA的私人储蓄率没有增加，这一发现与世界其他地区形成了对比。相反，在我们的估计中，COVID-19死亡率与SSA的私人储蓄下降和经济增长显著相关。大流行期间对住户调查的稳健性检查和分析验证并探讨了这些结果的一些潜在驱动因素。论文进一步证实，自1983年以来，实际人均经济增长是该地区私人储蓄的关键决定因素。

Private savings and COVID-19 in Sub-Saharan Africa

The paper investigates the impact of COVID-19 on private savings and economic activity in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Using data for at least 13 SSA economies, we find that private saving rates have not increased during COVID-19 in SSA, a finding that contrasts with other regions in the world. Instead, COVID-19 mortality in our estimations is significantly associated with a decline in private savings and economic growth in SSA. Robustness checks and analyses of household surveys during the pandemic validate and explore some of the underlying drivers of those results. The paper further confirms real per capita economic growth as a key determinant of private savings in the region since 1983.

期刊介绍： The intent of the editors is to consolidate Emerging Markets Review as the premier vehicle for publishing high impact empirical and theoretical studies in emerging markets finance. Preference will be given to comparative studies that take global and regional perspectives, detailed single country studies that address critical policy issues and have significant global and regional implications, and papers that address the interactions of national and international financial architecture. We especially welcome papers that take institutional as well as financial perspectives.
