To gain insight into this process, it is imperative that we improve our understanding of the savings behaviour of individual households and of the ways in which they aggregate over the entire population to produce national saving. Italy provides an ideal laboratory in which to assess the impact of government and private transfer, imperfections in the capital markets, productivity growth and shifting demographic patterns on the saving behavior of individual households and on their aggregation into total private saving. The book draws on the Italian experience and data, and offers findings on many aspects of the process of saving determination.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eForeword Antonio Fazio\u003cbr\u003e List of contributors\u003cbr\u003e List of figures\u003cbr\u003e List of tables\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction Albert Ando, Luigi Guiso and Ignazio Visco\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
