Econophysics has been used to study a range of economic and financial
systems. This book uses the econophysical perspective to focus on the
income distributive dynamics of economic systems. It focuses on the
empirical characterization and dynamics of income distribution and its
related quantities from the epistemological and practical perspectives
of contemporary physics. Several income distribution functions are
presented which fit income data and results obtained by statistical
physicists on the income distribution problem. The book discusses two
separate research traditions: the statistical physics approach, and
the approach based on non-linear trade cycle models of macroeconomic
dynamics. Several models of distributive dynamics based on the latter
approach are presented, connecting the studies by physicists on
distributive dynamics with the recent literature by economists on
income inequality. As econophysics is such an interdisciplinary field,
this book will be of interest to physicists, economists, statisticians
and applied mathematicians.
