DEF

The accumulation of money or goods in excess of immediate needs.

CONT

Reasons for hoarding include fear of a future shortage and expectation of a future rise in the price of the goods or in the money hoarded. In monetary theory, hoarding is considered to be any part of savings which is not used for investment. Thus, hoarding is a leakage in the income stream, taking money out of circulation and reducing total income. The larger the proportion of income hoarded in the form of money, the more slowly money turns over. The velocity of money in circulation varies inversely with the rate of hoarding.

OBS

On entend en général, par ce terme le placement «stérilisé» de capitaux en bijoux, œuvres d'art, antiquités, or, signes monétaires conservés par devers soi. Ce placement non rémunéré, mais qui peut être aisément transformé en moyens de paiement, est pour son détenteur un moyen de conservation discutable en période calme, mais par contre susceptible de plus-values importantes dans les périodes troubles. Néanmoins cet emploi enlève à l'épargne nationale des ressources qui auraient pu être investies de manière productive.

CONT

Au sens strict, pour l'économiste, la véritable thésaurisation est celle de l'or.

Spanish
