This Colloquium reviews statistical models for money, wealth, and income distributions
developed in the econophysics literature since the late 1990s. By analogy with the …

This is a review article for Encyclopedia of Complexity and System Science, to be published
by Springer http://refworks. springer. com/complexity/. The paper reviews statistical models …

The first part of this paper is a brief survey of the approaches to economic inequality based
on ideas from statistical physics and kinetic theory. These include the Boltzmann kinetic …

This paper considers the ideal gas-like model for trading markets, where each individual
interacts with others trading in money-conservative collisions. Traditionally this model …

Although the subject of money clearly belongs in economics, economic theorists in general
cannot be accused of spending undue time and effort on understanding money. Obviously …

Different approaches are possible in order to derive the exponential regime in statistical
systems. Here, a new functional equation is proposed in an economic context to explain the …

The one-dimensional deterministic economic model recently studied by González-Estévez
et al.[J. González-Estévez, MG Cosenza, R. López-Ruiz, JR Sanchez, Physica A 387 (2008) …

A set of many identical interacting agents obeying a global additive constraint is considered.
Under the hypothesis of equiprobability in the high-dimensional volume delimited in phase …

Boltzmann–Gibbs (BG) distribution arises as the statistical equilibrium probability distribution
of money among the agents of a closed economic system where random and undirected …

We give a simple derivation of the Boltzmann factor from a microcanonical point of view. The
derivation is similar to Boltzmannʼs own approach but avoids the use of Lagrangian …
