Stochastic Effects in a Discretized Kinetic Model of Economic Exchange
Linear stochastic models and discretized kinetic theory are two complementary analytical techniques used for the investigation of complex systems of economic interactions. The former employ Langevin equations, with an emphasis on stock trade; the latter is based on systems of ordinary differential equations and is better suited for the description of binary interactions, taxation and welfare redistribution. We propose a new framework which establishes a connection between the two approaches by introducing stochastic effects into the kinetic model based on Langevin and Fokker-Planck formalisms. Numerical simulations of the resulting model indicate positive correlations between the Gini index and the total wealth, that suggests a growing inequality with increasing income. Further analysis shows a simultaneous decrease in inequality as social mobility increases in presence of a conserved total wealth, in conformity with economic data.

The Effects of Taxes on Wealth Inequality in Artificial Chemistry Models of Economic Activity
We consider a number of Artificial Chemistry models for economic activity and what consequences they have for the formation of economic inequality. We are particularly interested in what tax measures are effective in dam…
What events matter for exchange rate volatility ?
This paper expands on stochastic volatility models by proposing a data-driven method to select the macroeconomic events most likely to impact volatility. The paper identifies and quantifies the effects of macroeconomic e…
Inequality, a scourge of the XXI century
Social and economic inequality is a plague of the XXI Century. It is continuously widening, as the wealth of a relatively small group increases and, therefore, the rest of the world shares a shrinking fraction of resourc…
Economic inequality and mobility for stochastic models with multiplicative noise
In this article, we discuss a dynamical stochastic model that represents the time evolution of income distribution of a population, where the dynamics develop from an interplay of multiple economic exchanges in the prese…
Economic inequality and mobility in kinetic models for social sciences
Statistical evaluations of the economic mobility of a society are more difficult than measurements of the income distribution, because they require to follow the evolution of the individuals' income for at least one or t…
