Yet despite agreement among economists and policymakers on the importance of this measure, huge inconsistencies persist. Contributors to this volume investigate ways to improve aggregate and sectoral saving and investment estimates and analyze microdata from recent household wealth surveys. They provide analyses of National Income and Product Account (NIPA) and Flow-of-Funds measures and of saving and survey-based wealth estimates. Conceptual and methodological questions are discussed regarding long-term trends in the U.S. wealth inequality, age-wealth profiles, pensions and wealth distribution, and biases in inferences about life-cycle changes in saving and wealth. Some new assessments are offered for investment in human and nonhuman capital, the government contribution to national wealth, NIPA personal and corporate saving, and banking imputation.Studies in income and wealth ;52.Saving and investmentWealthsaving, investment, wealth, economics, economy, poverty, banking imputation, corporate, personal, nipa, government, capital, inequality, pensions, aging, flow of funds, latin america, estimates, national accounts, banks, finance, affluent, inheritance, gifts, intergenerational transfer, net worth, households, bias, accuracy, nonfiction.Saving and investment.Wealth.330 s339.4/3Lipsey Robert E631845Tice Helen Stone1564072Conference on Research in Income and Wealth.Conference on the Measurement of Saving, Investment, and Wealth(1987 :Baltimore, Md.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784724403321The measurement of saving, investment, and wealth3832938UNINA
