The Distribution of Income and Wealth Parametric Modeling with the κ-Generalized Family /

This book presents a systematic overview of cutting-edge research in the field of parametric modeling of personal income and wealth distribution, which allows one to represent how income/wealth is distributed within a given population. The estimated parameters may be used to gain insights into the c...
