Dalam studi sebelumnya, menggunakan simulasi data berbasis agen dari model ekonomi kapitalis yang diusulkan oleh Ian Wright, kami menunjukkan bahwa ketidaksetaraan di kedua distribusi kekayaan dan pendapatan sebagian besar diatur oleh satu parameter kunci: rasio antara kekayaan rata-rata per kapita dan upah rata-rata, dinyatakan dengan $R$. Parameter ini menangkap signifikansi relatif aset yang terakumulasi dibandingkan dengan pendapatan tenaga kerja. Dalam model ini, nilai yang lebih besar dari $R$ secara sistematis dikaitkan dengan tingkat ketidaksetaraan yang lebih tinggi, seperti yang diukur oleh koefisien Gini. Dalam pekerjaan saat ini, kami menyelidiki apakah hubungan ini juga diamati dalam ekonomi dunia nyata. Menggunakan data empiris dari World Inequality Database (WID) dan Organisasi untuk Kerjasama dan Pembangunan Ekonomi (OECD), kami

In previous studies, using agent-based simulations of a model of a capitalist economy proposed by Ian Wright, we showed that inequality in both wealth and income distributions is largely governed by a single key parameter: the ratio between average wealth per capita and the mean salary, denoted by $R$. This parameter captures the relative importance of accumulated assets compared with labor income. In the model, larger values of $R$ are systematically associated with higher levels of inequality, as measured by the Gini coefficient. In the present work, we investigate whether this relationship is also observed in real-world economies. Using empirical data from the World Inequality Database (WID) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), we construct empirical estimates of $R$ and compare them with standard measures of income and wealth inequality. We find a positive relation between $R$ and inequality across several empirical settings, with the strongest relationships observed for mature and advanced economies. These results provide empirical support for the role of the wealth-to-salary ratio as a simple macroscopic indicator associated with economic inequality, while also highlighting the limitations imposed by differences in data definitions and measurement across countries and periods.
