Dependencia entre ingresos y tasas de ahorro en profesionales del sur del Valle de Aburrá ELKIN RAVE GÓMEZ 162 Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es determinar si los profesionales del sur del Valle de Aburrá ahorran, y si existe alguna relación entre sus ingresos monetarios y la tasa de ahorro. Para contrastar las hipótesis se aplicaron 385 encuestas a hombres y mujeres con título universitario residentes en la subregión estudiada. La información recolectada fue tratada por medio de una prueba no paramétrica de chi-cuadrado y regresión logística para determinar el grado de independencia entre las variables analizadas. Los resultados que arrojaron los análisis estadísticos realizados expresan que no existe independencia entre la tasa de ahorro y el nivel de entradas. Se comprueba, además, que los profesionales que más ahorran son aquellos que reciben mayores ingresos mensuales. Palabras claveAhorro, profesionales, chi-cuadrado, ingresos, regresión logística, dependencia. AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to determine whether professionals in the south of the Aburra Valley save money, and if there is any relationship between their money income and the savings rate. To corroborate assumptions, 385 surveys conducted in men and women holding university degrees, residing in the study sub-region. The information collected was treated by means of a non-parametric chi-square test and logistics regression to determine the degree of independence between the analyzed variables. Statistical studies results show that there is no independence between the savings rate and the level of income. This research also evidences that professionals who save the most are those who receive the highest monthly income.

Using microdata on expenditure and income for seventeen Latin American and Caribbean countries, this paper presents stylized facts on saving behavior by age, education, income, and place of residence. Counterfactual saving rates are computed by imposing the saving behavior, the population distribution, or the income distribution of two benchmark economies (the United States and Korea). The results suggest that the difference in national saving rates between Latin America and Caribbean and the benchmark economies can mainly be attributed to differences in saving behavior of the population and, to a lesser extent, to differences in the distribution of the population by education levels. Other demographic or income distribution differences are not quantitatively important as explanations of saving rates. JEL classification: C81, D12, D14, D91, E21
