Annual Survey of Statistical Information: Capital Formation and the Flow of National Income in the United States
OF recent years there has been much speculation and argument regarding the nature of savings and investments and the rates of income received by such groups as entrepreneurs, property owners, creditors, industrial managers, the white-collar class, workingmen, and farmers. Unfortunately, arguments and opinions on these questions have not generally been supported by facts, for the reason that adequate statistical information has not been available. With the advent of the Deal in the United States and the accompanying rapid growth of new governmental agencies, often created with the avowed intention of bringing about a distribution of income and each possessing a division created to collect and interpret statistics, it was inevitable that a wealth of new data on the flow and use of income should become accessible. Furthermore, largely owing to the guidance of the new Central Statistical Board, composed of representatives of various departments and agencies, much of this information is thoroughly reliable. As a result of the activities of this Board, some of the older indexes have been revised to meet criticisms, and established departments of the government have often enlarged the scope of their work. Such new organizations as the National Recovery Administration, which required statistics on a variety of economic problems, greatly stimulated the collection of data by both governmental and private agencies. During the life of NRA,1 many of the six hundred or more code authorities which governed industries collected and analyzed statistics bearing on their particular activities. Data which had previously been gathered in inadequate samples by trade associations became vastly better because of increased coverage and many indexes were greatly improved. Under NRA, some industries preferred to hire private statistical agencies, such as Dun and Bradstreet of New York City, Real Estate Analysts, Inc., of St. Louis, Missouri, and Price, Waterhouse and Company of New York, to collect and interpret their material. In spite of the Supreme Court decision, several of these organizations are continuing to publish statistical series begun at the instance of code authorities. Indeed, the Real Estate Analyst has so vastly enlarged its

La dynamique de la circulation
Le rapport que j'ai l'honneur de pr6senter au IV Congres de la Societ6 Econom6trique est la synthese d'etudes et de recherches que j'ai poursuivies sur les problemes de la dynamique mon6taire. Quelques-uns des r6sultats qui paraissent ici ont 6t6 deja publi6s ailleurs, et pr6cis6ment: (a) dans les Chapitres II et III de mon Contributo alla teoria matematica della dinamica economica, publie dans le deuxieme volume de la Nuova Collana di Economisti 6dit6e par les soins de MM. G. Bottai et C. Arena (Torino, U.T.E.T., 1932); (b) dans les Chapitres VIII et XII de ma Dinamica dei prezzi, r6sum6 d'un cours profess6 a l'Universite de Rome pendant l'ann6e 1932-33 (6dition du Gruppo Universitario Fascista dell'Urbe). Toute conclusion de ces etudes qui ne s'accorderait pas avec les r6sultats que je vais exposer doit 8tre consid6ree comme d6pass6e. Dans l'introduction A mon Contributo (op. cit., p. 421) j'6crivais: Je rassemble dans ce m6moire quelques idees sur la theorie math6matique de la dynamique economique que j'ai present6es dernierement dans d'autres articles ayant paru sporadiquement, sous des formes et dans des lieux diff6rents. J'ai coordonne ces idees en un complexe plus organique, en ajoutant quelques d6veloppements nouveaux; c'est seulement en c6dant aux insistances courtoises de MM. les Directeurs de ce Recueil que j'ose publier ici ces r6sultats; je crois pourtant de mon devoir de declarer ouvertement que je considere mes recherches comme 6tant encore en cours d'6laboration; par consequent je ne saurais reconnattre A mes resultats actuels un caractere de systematisation th6orique, quand m8me on donnerait a cette expression le sens restraint dans lequel seulement elle peut 8tre employ6e dans l'histoire des doctrines 6conomiques. Les r6sultats que je presente aujourd'jui ne sont qu'une etape, une position d'attente, une tranch6e utile pour coordonner ses id6es et reprendre haleine en vue d'un nouveau progres. Si la passion dans laquelle j'ai poursuivi mes recherches ne m'aveugle point, je pense avoir accompli ce progres, pour ce qui a trait A la dynamique de la circulation; et j'en fais l'objet du pr6sent rapport. Celui-ci s'inspire, dans ses concepts fondamentaux, non seulement des deux travaux indiqu6s ci-dessus (et de ceux dont ils d6rivent), mais encore de la Relation que M. A. De Stefani et moi-m8me nous avons pr6sent6e a la Conference Economique reunie A Londres en Mai 1933 par
