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…
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…
A characterization of lexicographic preferences
Mridu Prabal Goswami, Manipushpak Mitra, Debapriya Sen
This paper characterizes lexicographic preferences over alternatives that are identified by a finite number of attributes. Our characterization is based on two key concepts: a weak…
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…
Statistics of the Kolkata Paise Restaurant Problem
Asim Ghosh, Arnab Chatterjee, Manipushpak Mitra +1
We study the dynamics of a few stochastic learning strategies for the 'Kolkata Paise Restaurant' problem, where N agents choose among N equally priced but differently ranked restau…
The Kolkata Paise Restaurant Problem and Resource Utilization
Anindya-Sundar Chakrabarti, Bikas K. Chakrabarti, Arnab Chatterjee +1
We study the dynamics of the "Kolkata Paise Restaurant problem". The problem is the following: In each period, N agents have to choose between N restaurants. Agents have a common r…
