The aim of this work is to establish the personal income distribution from the elementary constituents of a free market; products of a representative good and agents forming the economic network. The economy is treated as a self-organized system. Based on the idea that the dynamics of an economy is governed by slow mod…

Growth and Fluctuations of Personal Incomecond-mat.dis-nn
Pareto's law states that the distribution of personal income obeys a power-law in the high-income range, and has been supported by international observations. Researchers have proposed models over a century since its discovery. However, the dynamical nature of personal income has been little studied hitherto, mostly du…
This paper explores several types of income which have not been explored so far by authors who tackled income and wealth distribution using Statistical Physics.

A New Approach to Personal Income Distributioncond-mat.stat-mech
The results of R^2 dynamical random surface model (2-dimensional quantum gravity with a term) are applied to explain the personal income distribution.

Pareto's Law of Income Distribution: Evidence for Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United Statesphysics.soc-ph
We analyze three sets of income data: the US Panel Study of Income Dynamics PSID), the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), and the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). It is shown that the empirical income distribution is consistent with a two-parameter lognormal function for the low-middle income group (97%-99% of …
Herein, we applied statistical physics to study incomes of three (low-, medium- and high-income) society classes instead of the two (low- and medium-income)classes studied so far.

Analysis of Price and Income Elasticities of Energy Demand in Ecuador: A Dynamic OLS Approachq-fin.GN
Energy consumption in Ecuador has increased significantly during the last decades, affecting negatively the financial position of the country since large energy consumption subsidies are provided in its internal market and Ecuador is mostly a crude oil exporter and oil derivatives importer country. This research seeks …
Recent research has documented a significant rise in the volatility (e.g., expected squared change) of individual incomes in the U.S. since the 1970s. Existing measures of this trend abstract from individual heterogeneity, effectively estimating an increase in average volatility. We decompose this increase in average v…
