Wealth distribution in modern societies: Collected data and a master equation approach

I Gere, S Kelemen, G Toth, TS Biró, Z Neda - Physica A: Statistical …, 2021 - Elsevier
A mean-field like stochastic evolution equation with growth and reset terms (LGGR model) is
used to model wealth distribution in modern societies. The stationary solution of the model …

Boltzmann-like income distribution in low and middle income classes: Evidence from the United Kingdom

Y Tao - Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2021 - Elsevier
We elucidate that a Boltzmann-like income distribution will emerge spontaneously in a long-
run Arrow–Debreu economy, which is used to describe the well-functioning market …

Memoryless Property of the Income Distribution as an Indication for Testing the Equality of Opportunity: Evidence from China (1978-2015)

Y Tao - 2023 - preprints.org
It has been well known that the exponential distribution is the only continuous distribution
that has the memoryless property. Here, we observe that, if the exponential distribution …

A simple mechanism causing wealth concentration

adopts a neoclassical point of view, ie, we completely ignore work, production, and …

Economic segregation under the action of trading uncertainties

E Ballante, C Bardelli, M Zanella, S Figini, G Toscani - Symmetry, 2020 - mdpi.com
