saving, household finance, pandemic, crisis, precautionary savingAbstract
The purpose of this article is to compare the focus of researchers and the saving behavior of households in different types of crises within the scope of the financial crisis of 2008 and the pandemic crisis.
The research focused on the literature review of publications in the WoS bibliographic database concentrated on saving and personal finance with the addition of a crisis or pandemic. 276 publications in the WoS category of Economics were identified. Full and fractional clustering with VOS Viewer was applied.
It has been found that there are differences in the behavior of households and in the focus of researchers concerning analyzed terms between the pandemic and other crises. In the case of the financial crisis of 2008, a broader approach prevailed, considering the situation of the financial market and its liquidity, but also inequalities and imbalances at the individual, national and international levels. When it comes to the pandemic, the term savings had the most associations with problems related to the situation of an individual household. Attention was paid to financial security, income, wealth, and demand generated by the household.
