Wealth Distribution in a Local-World Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

We study the flow of money among agents in the local-world network with yard-sale model and aggressiveness. The system allows money trade between two agents and a time during the evolving of the model, betting a fraction α of the loser’s agent wealth. b parameterizes the significance of the relative wealth of the agents. According to analysis the wealth distribution with b>0,b=0 and bis the most important index of system structure. The computation and simulation results tell us that Gini coefficient is growing up gradually as increasing of . These results can offer effective approaches for our country to establish useful measure and policy to relax the unequal distribution of wealth.
