Wealth distribution and output fluctuations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore the link between wealth inequality and output fluctuations in a general two-sector neoclassical growth model with endogenous labor and heterogeneous agents. When agents have homogeneous CRRA preferences and individual wealth is Pareto distributed a sufficiently large rise in the Gini index typically leads to an increase in endogenous fluctuations of output. For general economies, we show that under plausible conditions on the fundamentals, wealth inequality is still a destabilizing factor.

The role of the wealth distribution on output volatility
We explore the link between wealth inequality and business cycle fluctuations in a two-sector neoclassical growth model with endogenous labor and heterogeneous agents. Assuming that wealth inequality is described by the distribution of shares of capital, we show that in the most plausible situations wealth equality is a stabilizing factor. In particular, when wealth is Pareto distributed and pr...
متن کاملکنترل ولتاژ و توان راکتیو دو مرحلهای در شبکههای توزیع در حضور سیستمهای فتوولتائیک مبتنی بر پیشبینی کوتاه مدت بار و تولید
Voltage and reactive power control have been widely employed to reduce power losses and satisfy the main distribution system operational constraints. In recent years, Distributed Generators connected to the distribution network have received increasing attention. The connection of enormous DGs into existing distribution network changes the operation of distribution systems and affect the daily ...
متن کاملAsset Prices and Wealth Inequality∗
This paper uses recently available data on the top of the wealth distribution to study the relationship between asset prices and wealth inequality. I document three stylized facts: (1) the share of wealth invested in equity increases sharply in the right tail of the wealth distribution, (2) when stock market returns are high, wealth inequality increases and (3) higher wealth inequality predicts...
متن کاملAn Analysis to Wealth Distribution Based on Sugarscape Model in an Artificial Society
In this paper an artificial society is being assumed as a multi agents system. A sugarscape model consisting of a cellular landscape of resources is used to form an interaction among the agents of the population. In the model, agents find the resources to survive. They are supposed to move and search and because of this movement, an evolutionary social behavior will develope. From model analys...
متن کاملPoverty Traps, Indeterminacy, and the Wealth Distribution
In the present paper we consider a one-sector growth model in continuous time with a production externality and endogenous labor supply. There is a continuum of households who have identical preferences but differ with respect to their initial wealth. We show that there exist economies such that an indeterminate steady state exists for some wealth distribution but not for others. A second resul...
