Table 1 gives the values for the coefficient of regression 
of the means of income on wealth. The correlation is very 
high (r 2 is more than 0.99) for the mean income values; 
for the correlation of the grouped income data it is 
modest (r 2 = 0.25 in Holland). 
From the empirical Pareto coefficient for wealth and the 
calculated regression coefficient it we can calculate the 
Pareto coefficient for income in accordance with equation 
(8). For Holland we obtain 2.20 which compares with an 
actual Pareto coefficient for income of wealth owners of 
2.08. The coefficient for all incomes,including persons 
with no taxable wealth is not very different which is 
rather surprising. 
While the Dutch data are not worse than could be expected 
the Swedish data are not so good. The population of wealth 
holders is here (on account of the tax laws) split into 
four groups: Couples where both have wealth,couples where
