We present an investigation of the 2D attractive Hubbard model, considered as an effective model relevant to superconductivity in strongly interacting electron systems. We use both hybrid Monte Carlo simulations and existing hopping parameter expansions to explore the low temperature domain. The increaseof the static S-wave pair correlation with decreasing temperature is analyzed in terms of an expected Kosterlitz-Thouless superconducting transition. The evidence for this transition is weak: If it exists, its temperature is very low and depends weakly on the band filling near half filling. The number of unpaired electrons remains nearly constant with temperature at fixed attractive potential strength. In contrast, the static magnetic susceptibility decreases fast with temperature, and cannot be related only to pair formation. We introduce a method by which the Pade approximants of the existing series for the susceptibility give sensible results down to rather low temperature region, as shown by comparison with our numerical data.
