Fig. 6: Comparison of final agent wealth distributions and Gini indices. Data have been aggregated from all simulation runs (7168 parameter combinations × 20 repetitions each), with each run categorized into the All Poor, Some Rich, or All Rich regime based on final agent wealths.
From: Emergent poverty traps at multiple levels impede social mobility
A Final wealth of agents in the All Poor regime never surpass small values, whereas agents in the Some Rich regime can attain high levels of wealth. Meanwhile, in the All Rich regime, final wealth levels close to zero are, by definition, impossible. B Comparison of Gini indices (at final time step) for populations in different regimes. The All Poor and All Rich regimes tend to exhibit low Gini indices (signifying low inequality), whereas the Some Rich regime exhibits mostly high Gini indices and therefore inequality.
