Relations Among Different Inequality Measures in Complex Systems: From Kinetic Exchange to Earthquake Models

Shohini Sen, Suchismita Banerjee, Bikas K Chakrabarti

We present a numerical study of several inequality measures across two kinetic wealth exchange models with extreme inequality features (namely the Banerjee model, and the Chakrabor…

Kinetic Models of Wealth Distribution Having Extreme Inequality: Numerical Study of Their Stability Against Random Exchanges

Asim Ghosh, Suchismita Banerjee, Sanchari Goswami +2

In view of some persistent recent reports on a singular kind of growth of the world wealth inequality, where a finite (often handful) number of people tend to possess more than the…

Role of Neighbouring Wealth Preference in Kinetic Exchange model of market

Suchismita Banerjee

The kinetic exchange model has gained popularity in the field of statistical mechanics for investigating wealth interaction. Traditionally, kinetic exchange models have been studie…

Sandpile Universality in Social Inequality: Gini and Kolkata Measures

Suchismita Banerjee, Soumyajyoti Biswas, Bikas K. Chakrabarti +2

Social inequalities are ubiquitous and evolve towards a universal limit. Herein, we extensively review the values of inequality measures, namely the Gini () index and the Kolkat…

International Centre for the Advancement of Multidisciplinary Studies on Socio-Economic Systems

Suchismita Banerjee, Manipushpak Mitra

We start by summarising very briefly the various prior attempts (during the last one and half a decade), some of which were made as independent research centres and others as visit…

Evolutionary Dynamics of Social Inequality and Coincidence of Gini and Kolkata indices under Unrestricted Competition

Suchismita Banerjee, Soumyajyoti Biswas, Bikas K. Chakrabarti +8

Social inequalities are ubiquitous and here we show that the values of the Gini () and Kolkata () indices, two generic inequality indices, approach each other (starting from…

Scaling Behavior of the Hirsch Index for Failure Avalanches, Percolation Clusters and Paper Citations

Asim Ghosh, Bikas K. Chakrabarti, Dachepalli R. S. Ram +4

A popular measure for citation inequalities of individual scientists has been the Hirsch index (). If for any scientist the number of citations is plotted against the seri…

Inequality Measures: The Kolkata index in comparison with other measures

Suchismita Banerjee, Bikas K. Chakrabarti, Manipushpak Mitra +1

We provide a survey of the Kolkata index of social inequality, focusing in particular on income inequality. Based on the observation that inequality functions (such as the Lorenz f…

On the Kolkata index as a measure of income inequality

Suchismita Banerjee, Bikas K. Chakrabarti, Manipushpak Mitra +1

We study the mathematical and economic structure of the Kolkata (k) index of income inequality. We show that the k-index always exists and is a unique fixed point of the complement…
