are u in AP Econimics???I am and u should know this kind of stuff….do u go to Forest Hills high school by any chance??I had a test today on GDP how ironic right….anyway to answer ur question…NO increase in savings does not increase GDP per capita…..when people save it lowers GDP because people dont spend…and if they dont spend firms will cut back on production…and in order for GDP to increase prodduction has to go up….cuz GDP measures PRODUCTION WITHIN A NATIONS BORDERS……..If people save money …that is known as MPC….marginal propensity to consume….Definition is ”If given an extra dollar how much is spent”….for example, young people are known to have a MPC of 1 because they dont save much they just spend…but older people that are not interested in spending as much might have a MPC of 0.3 , or 0.5…they save …1 means that they spend all of thier money and decimal numbers mean that they save a portion of their money….GDP per capita definition ”Measures the dollar value of production by a COUNTRY’S CITIZENS…….Hope I helped good luck
