A new $\kappa$-deformed parametric model for the size distribution of wealth
Abstract
It has been pointed out by Patriarca et al. (2005) that the power-law tailed equilibrium distribution in heterogeneous kinetic exchange models with a distributed saving parameter can be resolved as a mixture of Gamma distributions corresponding to particular subsets of agents. Here, we propose a new four-parameter statistical distribution which is a -deformation of the Generalized Gamma distribution with a power-law tail, based on the deformed exponential and logarithm functions introduced by Kaniadakis(2001). We found that this new distribution is also an extension to the -Generalized distribution proposed by Clementi et al. (2007), with an additional shape parameter , and properly reproduces the whole range of the distribution of wealth in such heterogeneous kinetic exchange models. We also provide various associated statistical measures and inequality measures.
