A study of Methods from Statistical Mechanics applied to income distribution
We applied Dirac distribution, Bose-Einstein distribution, and occasionally Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution in order to determine which is optimal for income distribution on a large pool of countries. The best fit to the data was observed in the case of Fermi-Dirac distribution, for which the coefficient of determination showed the best goodness of fit to the data. Using this distribution for data (spun throughout more years), we obtained the underlying critical parameters of annual income distribution such as chemical potential and temperature. The next step was to explore the evolution of income using economic analogues to chemical potential and temperature. Using as background the analogy made by Yakovenko between temperature from thermodynamic systems and nominal income from Economics, we found other analogies that would allow further analysis and explanation of income.

Statistical Mechanics Calculations Using Variational Autoregressive Networks and Quantum Annealing
In statistical mechanics, computing the partition function is generally difficult. An approximation method using a variational autoregressive network (VAN) has been proposed recently. This approach offers the advantage o…
Income distribution in Thailand is scale-invariant
This study examines whether income distribution in Thailand has a property of scale invariance or self-similarity across years. By using the data on income shares by quintile and by decile of Thailand from 1988 to 2021, …
A generative model for age and income distribution
Each individual in society experiences an evolution of their income during their lifetime. Macroscopically, this dynamics creates a statistical relationship between age and income for each society. In this study, we inve…
modelA simple method for measuring inequality
To simultaneously overcome the limitation of the Gini index in that it is less sensitive to inequality at the tails of income distribution and the limitation of the inter-decile ratios that ignore inequality in the middl…
Income Inequality, Cause and Cure
We argue that the recent growth in income inequality is driven by disparate growth in investment income rather than by disparate growth in wages. Specifically, we present evidence that real wages are flat across a range …
