Describe how the savings decision can be thought of as a trade-off between current and future consumption. In that context, the price of future consumption is one over one plus the interest rate. Using this logic, explain why savings might rise when the interest rate rises. What is the precautionary model of savings? How might that model predict the opposite effect on savings when interest rates rise.Describe how the savings decision can be thought of as a trade-off between current and future consumption.
