Planejamento e habitualidade são determinantes na poupança familiar?

Resumo

Balance expenses of families, governments and companies can bring sustainability on medium and long term for Brazil. Therefore, comprehending what could bring it to a balance, analyzed by the household savings, could be the base to form public policies strategies. In the light of this work, a sample of actual financial movement of users of the financial control application Minhas Economias was analyzed, for appointing which characteristics and behaviors of a individual could impact its savings rate, considering the hypothesis that planning and habituality could imply higher savings rates. Some of the results are in line with the theories of Dholakia et al. (2016) and Shefrin & Thaler (1988), attesting that habituality and planning could impact the families savings rate. Furthermore, it was possible to conclude that income and expenses, as well as its standard deviations, also generate, in level, significant statical impact over the savings rate. Furthermore, it was possible to conclude that income and expenses, as well as its standard deviations, also generate, in level, significant statical impact over the savings rate. However, longitudinal analysis showed that planning, measured by the dummy variable budget, loses significance. That fact can be explained due to the non-observable effects (fixed characteristics of each individual), and as it is controlled, the dummy has no longer an effect. Therefore, the budget can reveal something peculiar in the individual and that, certain way, is controlled in the panel.
