A binary wealth exchange mechanism, which involves the influence of the epidemic environment and agents' psychology on trading decisions, is introduced to discuss the wealth distribution of agents under the background of an epidemic. We find that the trading psychology of agents may affect wealth distribution and make the tail of the steady-state wealth distribution slimmer. The steady-state wealth distribution displays a bimodal shape under appropriate parameters. Our results suggest that government control measures are essential to curb the spread of epidemics, and vaccination may help to improve the economy, while contact control measures may aggravate wealth inequality.

Wealth Distribution Involving Psychological Traits and Non-Maxwellian Collision Kernel.
Entropy (Basel)
January 2025
School of Mathematics, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, Chengdu 611130, China.
A kinetic exchange model is developed to investigate wealth distribution in a market. The model incorporates a value function that captures the agents' psychological traits, governing their wealth allocation based on behavioral responses to perceived potential losses and returns. To account for the impact of transaction frequency on wealth dynamics, a non-Maxwellian collision kernel is introduced.

Intrinsically disordered regions are flexible regions that complement the typical structured regions of proteins. Little is known however about their evolution. Here we leverage a comparative and evolutionary genomics approach to analyze intrinsic disorder in the structural domains of thousands of proteomes.
