Money in Gas-Like Markets: Gibbs and Pareto Laws
Open accessAbstract
We consider the ideal-gas models of trading markets, where each agent is identified with a gas molecule and each trading as an elastic or money-conserving (two-body) collision. Unlike in the ideal gas, we introduce saving propensity $λ$ of agents, such that each agent saves a fraction $λ$ of its money and trades with the rest. We show the steady-state money or wealth distribution in a market is Gibbs-like for $λ=0$, has got a non-vanishing most-probable value for $λ\ne 0$ and Pareto-like when $λ$ is widely distributed among the agents. We compare these results with observations on wealth distributions of various countries.

“However, these models do not help with the implementation of controls over the wealth distribution dynamics in a closed economy setting since they primarily focus on the equilibria states of microeconomic systems.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
