The above table gives the vAlues for the coefficient 
of regression of the mean income on wealth. The correlation is very 
high ( r*“ is ,997 ) for the mean income values} for the mean square 
correlation of the grouped income data it is modest, r2* .25 in- 
Holland. 
From the actual ^'aret coefficle t for wealth and the 
coefficient A5 we can calculate the Pareto coefficiet for income 
in accordance with equation ($). In Holland we obtain 2.20, 
which compares with an actual P a ret oefficieit ptoT income of 
wealth owners of 2,08. ( The coefficient for all Incomes includi g 
pepple with no taxable wealth, is n t markedly different, which 
is rather surprising).
