Taking Italy as their field of research, the contributors conduct a coherent analysis of households' saving behaviour. They emphasize the roles of capital markets, private and government transfers and their interactions, as well as shifting demographic patterns, in shaping consumption decisions. The book also offers evidence on such controversial issues as bequests and precautionary saving.
