Regional deposits and demographic changes

Nagayasu, Jun (2011): Regional deposits and demographic changes.

Abstract

This paper empirically analyzes the relationship between regional deposits and demographic changes. Using different types of deposit data from Japan which has experienced a sharp increase in the number of retirees, we provide clear evidence that an increase in the dependency ratio is negatively correlated with overall deposits but positively with the most liquid deposits.
