\begin{Format}\relax
A data frame with 50 observations on 5 variables.
\Tabular{rlll}{
[,1]  & sr    & numeric  & aggregate personal savings \\{}
[,2]  & pop15 & numeric  & \% of population under 15 \\{}

\end{Format}
\begin{Details}\relax
Under the life-cycle savings hypothesis as developed by Franco
Modigliani, the savings ratio (aggregate personal saving divided by
disposable income) is explained by per-capita disposable income, the
percentage rate of change in per-capita disposable income, and two
demographic variables: the percentage of population less than 15
years old and the percentage of the population over 75 years old.
The data are averaged over the decade 1960--1970 to remove the
business cycle or other short-term fluctuations.

The data were obtained from Belsley, Kuh and Welsch (1980).
They in turn obtained the data from Sterling (1977).
