In the past decades most economies have been characterised by three main phenomena: 1) rising concentration, 2) slowing productivity growth, 3) increasing inequality. These three empirical facts are at odds with the neoclassical explanation, and in this project I want to explore whether formulating distributional preferences in consumption as a function of wealth can provide a sensible explanation for the registered increase in concentration despite the productivity slowdown.

在过去的几十年里，大多数经济体都有三个主要现象：1)集中度上升，2)生产率增长放缓，3)不平等加剧。这三个经验事实与新古典主义的解释不一致，在这个项目中，我想探讨是否将消费的分配偏好作为财富的函数来制定，可以为尽管生产率放缓，但集中度的记录增加提供合理的解释。
