Abstract

[fre] Par le biais de l'étude de la relation entre revenu et patrimoine, puis de la liaison entre revenu et épargne, il est possible de préciser l'ampleur de l'impact de l'accumulation d'épargne par les ménages sur leur patrimoine. On peut séparer la population française en deux parties égales : les ménages les moins riches et les ménages les plus riches, en revenu ou en patrimoine. On constate que pour les plus aisés, revenu et patrimoine sont fortement corrélés; ceux-ci sont, à l'inverse, pratiquement indépendants pour les moins favorisés. Par ailleurs, on note que, pour tous, l'épargne dépend étroitement du niveau de revenu du ménage. Des conclusions concernant la relation revenu-patrimoine peuvent être tirées de ces deux séries de résultats. En particulier on s'aperçoit que pour la moitié des ménages les plus riches, l'évolution du patrimoine s'explique par l'accumulation de l'épargne; pour la moitié la moins riche, le patrimoine est quasi-indépendant de l'épargne. [spa] Los vinculos entre ahorro y patrimonio - Mediante el estudio de la relación entre ingreso y patrimonio, asf como del vínculo entre ingreso y ahorro, es factible puntualizar la magnitud del impacto de la acumulación de ahorro por los hogares en su patrimonio. La población francesa puede dividirse en dos grupos iguales : los hogares menos acomodados y los hogares más pudientes en ingreso y patrimonio. Se puede comprobar que con relación a hogares pudientes, existe una estrecha correlation entre ingreso y patrimonio; estos son, a la inversa, prácticamente independientes para los hogares menos acaudalados. Es de observar además que para todos el ahorro dépende rigurosamente del nivel de ingreso del hogar. Es factible sacar conclusiones acerca de la relación entre ingreso y patrimonio de ambas series de resultados. En especial, hay que notar que con relación a la mitad de los hogares más acaudalados, la evolución del patrimonio se explica por la acumulación de ahorro; para la mitad de los hogares menos acomodados, el patrimonio es casi independiente del ahorro. [eng] The Relationship between Savings and Wealth - Through a study of the relationship first between income and wealth and secondly between income and savings, it is possible to determine the precise impact of the accumulation of savings by households on their overall wealth. This study divided French population into two equal parts-richer and less rich households in terms of income or wealth. For the richer half, income and wealth turn out to be highly correlated; for the less rich half, however, these two factors are practically indépendant. Furthermore, it emerges that for all groups savings are proportionate to the income level of the household. A number of conclusions concerning the income wealth relationship can be drawn from the two groups of data. In particular, it becomes clear that, for the richer households, the development of the wealth is explained by the accumulation of savings, while for the less rich half, wealth is more or less indépendant of savings.
