Ethan S. Harris and Charles Steindel

Quarterly Review, 1990, vol. 15, issue Win, 1-19

Abstract: The authors document the trends in U.S. saving during the 1980s, giving particular attention to those measures of saving that gauge the growth of productive assets. They go on to assess the effects of these developments on capital formation and the nation's long-term economic potential.
