Economic interpretation of the Gibbs distribution
It is shown that the Gibbs distribution, used in statistical thermodynamics to determine the probability that some system exchanging its elements and resource (energy) with the environment will be found in a state with N elements and resource E, is derived on the basis of concepts and assumptions applicable to the description of systems of any nature. This means that, with a suitable interpretation, the conceptual and mathematical apparatus based on the Gibbs distribution can be applied in a variety of fields. By the example of the problem of passenger traffic distribution, the problematic aspects of applying the distribution of Gibb-bsa to economic systems are considered.
