We focus on the problem of how wealth is distributed among the units of a networked economic system. We first review the empirical results documenting that in many economies the wealth distribution is described by a combination of log--normal and power--law behaviours. We then focus on the Bouchaud--Mezard model of wealth exchange, describing an economy of interacting agents connected through an exchange network. We report analytical and numerical results showing that the system self--organises towards a stationary state whose associated wealth distribution depends crucially on the underlying interaction network. In particular we show that if the network displays a homogeneous density of links, the wealth distribution displays either the log--normal or the power--law form. This means that the first--order topological properties alone (such as the scale--free property) are not enough to explain the emergence of the empirically observed emph{mixed} form of the wealth distribution. In order to reproduce this nontrivial pattern, the network has to be heterogeneously divided into regions with variable density of links. We show new results detailing how this effect is related to the higher--order correlation properties of the underlying network. In particular, we analyse assortativity by degree and the pairwise wealth correlations, and discuss the effects that these properties have on each other.
Based on the stochastic model proposed by Patriarca-Kaski-Chakraborti that describes the exchange of wealth between $n$ economic agents, we analyze the evolution of the corresponding economies under the assumption of a Gaussian background, modeling t
Throughout economic history, the global economy has experienced recurring crises. The persistent recurrence of such economic crises calls for an understanding of their generic features rather than treating them as singular events. The global economic
Using an artificial neural network (ANN), a fixed universe of approximately 1500 equities from the Value Line index are rank-ordered by their predicted price changes over the next quarter. Inputs to the network consist only of the ten prior quarterly
This paper analyzes the equilibrium distribution of wealth in an economy where firms productivities are subject to idiosyncratic shocks, returns on factors are determined in competitive markets, dynasties have linear consumption functions and governm
We introduce an auto-regressive model which captures the growing nature of realistic markets. In our model agents do not trade with other agents, they interact indirectly only through a market. Change of their wealth depends, linearly on how much the
