Double power laws in income and wealth distributions
arXiv:0710.0917 · doi:10.1016/j.physa.2008.01.047
Abstract
Close examination of wealth distributions reveal the existence of two distinct power law regimes. The Pareto exponents of the super-rich, identified for example in rich lists such as provided by Forbes are smaller than the Pareto exponents obtained for top earners in income data sets. Our extension of the Slanina model of wealth is able to reproduce these double power law features.
