Statistical Theories of Income and Wealth Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The distributions of income and wealth in countries across the world are found to possess some robust and stable features independent of the specific economic, social and political conditions of the countries. We discuss a few physics-inspired multiagent dynamic models along with their microeconomic counterparts, that can produce the statistical features of the distributions observed in reality. A number of exact analytical methods and solutions are also provided. JEL C31, D51, C00

The pattern of income distribution and wealth from the perspective of the Holy Quran
Abstract An optimal pattern is expected to simplify complex phenomena on a small scale. The pattern of income distribution and wealth from the perspective of the Holy Quran to the systematic set of foundations and infrastructures (such as the true ownership of God (his will) on existence, the substitution of man and the trustworthiness of property in his hands); goals (spirituality, justice ...
متن کاملColloquium: Statistical mechanics of money, wealth, and income
This Colloquium reviews statistical models for money, wealth, and income distributions developed in the econophysics literature since the late 1990s. By analogy with the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution of energy in physics, it is shown that the probability distribution of money is exponential for certain classes of models with interacting economic agents. Alternative scenarios are also reviewed. D...
متن کاملDistribution and growth in models of imperfect capital markets
This paper reviews recent attempts to explain the generation of ‘social mobility and inequality in a market economy. It also discusses the interaction of mobility and the distribution of wealth with the process of capital accumulation. Any attempt at explaining intergenerational mobility as well as the endogenous generation of inequality must include uncertainty in individual incomes. This basi...
