Covers briefly the history of physics and economic thought from the epistemological viewpoint of contemporary physics, providing background materials for physicists and economists not familiar with econophysics
Provides a comparison of the way physicists approach a research problem with the one followed by economists, emphasizing the methodological differences
Provides an overview of the primary literature in statistical econophysics of income distribution and in distributive competition models based on non-linear trade cycles of macroeconomic dynamics, making them accessible to physicists, economists, statisticians and applied mathematicians
Results show that from 1981 to 2009 the Goodwin dynamic variables u and v do cycle in a form bearing similarities to what the Goodwin model predicts, that is, closed cycles. However, our results show the absence of a single cycling center.
The results show that Brazil’s complementary cumulative income distribution can be linearized by the q-logarithm and fitted by using only two parameters. For Brazil q ranges from 1.19 to 1.54 and fluctuates with a period of approximately 3.5 years. Both fitted parameters also present a cycling behavior in terms of one another.
This work analyzes the periodic oscillations of the complementary cumulative income distribution through the alternative approach of allowing the Tsallis parameter to become complex.
