Income inequality and structure of savings

Wealthy households save more in equities and companies and less in bank deposits than low-income households. An increase in income inequality therefore has the effect of increasing the weight of risky assets and reducing the weight of risk-free liquid assets. This may explain part of the gap between the savings structures of households and companies in the United States and the euro zone.
