- Description:
- Einkommens- und Vermögensverteilung, Pareto-Verteilung, Allometrie. The discussion of the relations of income and wealth will now be extended to take account of influences in both directions. The starting point will be the regression of income on wealth which seems to be linear as far as our data go. This may be regarded as a case of allometry, in analogy to a "law" well known to biologists: Various parts of an organism grow at different but constant rates and as a result the proportions of their sizes (on log scale) remain constant in the growing body. Thus in our case the income is y=kw+yo, where we suppose that the distribution of income and wealth reflects a growth process which has taken place in the past. (Auszug, S.1)
