Wealth inequality and wealth effect

2014 IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence for Financial Engineering & Economics (CIFEr), 2014
In an artificial financial market without real growth, extreme income inequality produces extreme wealth inequality via accumulation. An agent-based model is built to study to what extent a strong tax policy can affect this process. Wealth effect is defined as a positive impact of current wealth on future wealth growth.

Wealthier individuals have stronger incentives to seek higher returns. We investigate the effect that this has on long-run wealth inequality. Incorporating capital management into a standard Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans model generates substantial long-run inequality: the majority of the population works and holds no capital, while a small minority holds a ...
