摘要: In order to avoid the worsening of wealth inequality, it is necessary to explore the influencing factors of wealth distribution and discuss measures to reduce wealth inequality. We investigate the wealth distribution in the goods exchange market by using the kinetic theory of rarefied gas. The trading objects are two kinds of commodities (commodities A and B) and the trading subjects are agents of two groups (dealers and speculators). We deduce the interaction rules according to the principle of utility maximization and consider the transfer of agents in the Boltzmann equation. The steady solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for a special case is obtained and the effects of trading strategy and transfer frequency on the steady distribution are analyzed in numerical experiments. The conclusions illustrate that the transfer of agents is conducive to reducing the inequality of wealth distribution.
