A Trade-Investment Model for Distribution of Wealth
Econophysics provides a strategy for understanding the potential mechanisms underlying the anomalous distribution of wealth found in real societies. We present a computational nonlinear stochastic model for the distribution of wealth that depends upon three parameters and two mechanisms: trade and investment. To avoid economic paradoxes, the trade mechanism is assumed to be related to the poore...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Wealth Distribution under Idiosyncratic Investment Risk
I investigate the mechanisms through which idiosyncratic investment risk generates a fat tail of the wealth distribution. I set up a continuous time OLG model with a bequest motive and portfolio selection to show that idiosyncratic investment risk generates a Pareto tail in the wealth distribution. I calibrate my model to the U.S. economy and show that the wealth distribution in the simulated e...
متن کاملEntrepreneurial investment dynamics and the wealth distribution
Using restricted firm level data from the Kauffman Firm Survey, I document that (a) the distribution of average returns to capital amongst nascent entrepreneurial firms is left skewed, and (b) has higher persistence in the left tail than the right. I find that a model where the entrepreneur’s capital investment is illiquid can largely rationalize this data. On average, a continuing entrepreneur...
متن کاملMarket Imperfections, Wealth Inequality, and the Distribution of Trade Gains
We explore the role of the ownership structure of capital in an economy that suffers from barriers to entry and an imperfect financial system. In such an environment, an unequal distribution of capital provides an explanation for trade flows and trade gains even when countries do not differ in relative factor endowments or available technologies. Moreover, an uneven asset distribution is associ...
