Abstract

In this paper we show similarities between turbulence and financial systems. Motivated by similarities between the two systems, we construct a multiscale model for hierarchical financial structures that exhibits a constant cascade of wealth from large financial entities to small financial entities. According to our model, large and intermediate scale financial institutions have a power law distribution. However, the wealth distribution is Maxwellian at individual scales.
