Proposal Description:
The richest individuals in the top 0.0…01% of the wealth distribution are disproportionately entrepreneurs owning business corporations. In contrast, the most successful in other occupations (say, artists and scientists) accumulate orders-of-magnitude smaller wealth. Why this stark gap? This project seeks to develop a theory that explains the gap. We will also empirically test its predictions and calibrate/simulate the model.
