Presentation
The current financial crisis has had a great impact on how Americans are saving.
In a presentation for the “National Forum to Encourage Lower-Income Household Savings,” Karen Dynan explained that while aggregate personal saving should be markedly higher than before the crisis, it is difficult to predict the level of saving for lower-income households.
The Brookings Institution is committed to quality, independence, and impact.
