Various multi-agent models of wealth distributions defined by microscopic laws regulating the trades, with or without a saving criterion, are reviewed. We discuss and clarify the equilibrium properties of the model with constant global…

We address the well-posedness of subelliptic Fokker-Planck equations arising from stochastic control problems, as well as the properties of the associated diffusion processes. Here, the main difficulty arises from the possible polynomial…

A generalized Langevin equation is suggested to describe a system with memory($u(t,t') = \frac{1}{\Gamma (\nu )}(t - t')^\nu $) as well as with positive and negative damping. The equation can be transformed into the Fokker-Planck equation…

We consider a simple theoretical model to investigate the impact of inheritances on the wealth distribution. Wealth is described as a finite resource, which remains constant over different generations and is divided equally among offspring.…
