Directed Random Market: the equilibrium distribution

Author

Abstract

We find the explicit expression for the equilibrium wealth distribution of the Directed Random Market process, recently introduced by Mart\'inez-Mart\'inez and L\'opez-Ruiz, which turns out to be a Gamma distribution with shape parameter $\frac{1}{2}$. We also prove the convergence of the discrete-time process describing the evolution of the distribution of wealth to the equilibrium distribution.
