5 complain that German banks are not able or not willing to finance innovation. It is thus a question not only of how much but also of where and how. We also hear of funds of large industrial concerns held in form of financial investments in preference to real investment, of the increasing role of financial and real estate business in the activities and gainsof large industrial concerns. It would evidently be of great interest to go into the question how the practice, the attitudes and aims of industrial concerns have developped inthe course of the post-war period. How much investment was induced by a given flow of retained profits ( taking into account a plausible lag ) in the 50s and 60s, and how much later, in the 7os and 80s? As a second priority a study of household saving is also suggested by the paper; part of this saving is institutional. Though it makes no difference whether the household invests directly in bonds or whethe'/'*- this is done for him by pension funds etc, but there may be effects on the rate of saving. In fact, the low saving ratio of recent years in U.S. has been explained by the high interest rate which made lower payments into pension funds sufficient to secure given future pension rights. Consumptioncredits and house building are further elements f influencing the household saving. e The subject of saving is obviously closely connected with income distribution which is therefore very relevant for effective demand and employment. To-day the personal distribution of income is no less perhaps even more important than the functional distribution between wages, profits etc. But it is also even more difficult to get information on it in fact, there are yawning gaps in our information.
