On the distribution of city sizes [PDF]
Journal of Urban Economics, 2008 Abstract The city size distribution in many countries is remarkably well described by a Pareto distribution. We derive conditions that standard urban models must satisfy in order to explain this regularity. We show that under general conditions urban models must have (i) a balanced growth path and (ii) a Pareto distribution for the underlying source ...

Agglomeration, city size and crime
European Economic Review, 2015This paper analyzes the relationship between crime and agglomeration where the land, labor, product, and crime markets are endogenously determined. Our main theoretical findings are the following: (i) better accessibility to jobs decreases crime in the short run but may increase crime in the long run; (ii) the per-capita crime rate increases with city ...

Income Inequality and City Size
The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1977The distribution of income in the urban context has received relatively little attention from economists. Limited information has been employed to assert an inverse relationship between city size and income inequality (Duncan and Reiss, 1956; Richardson, 1973).

International Journal of Economic Theory, 2019
AbstractModels of cities based on conventional spatial market theory are unable to replicate a realistic size distribution. The stochastic process approach to size distribution, which assumes proportionate growth, does not provide an economic foundation for spatial trades. There is an apparent irreconcilability.

Economic Development and Cultural Change, 1989
Restrictive policies on domestic migration in the USSR and their role in preventing excessive urbanization are discussed. The authors first describe the policy tools that the Soviet government has used to control city size. They then test how effective Soviet policy has been by comparing the actual distribution of Soviet city sizes to a distribution ...

City size and fund performance☆
Journal of Financial Economics, 2006The literature predicts that the average skill level and productivity are higher in larger cities. Prior studies use workers’ wage or education differentials to indirectly link city size and output. This article relates city size and productivity directly, using performance data of U.S. equity mutual funds.

City-Size Distribution and the Size of Urban Systems
Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1985This paper is an analysis of the city-size distribution for thirty-five countries of the world in 1975; the purpose is to explain statistically the regularity of the rank-size distribution by the number of cities included in the urban systems. The rank-size parameters have been computed for each country and also for four large urban systems in which ...

The Sizes and Types of Cities [PDF]
American Economic Review, 1972 This paper presents a simple general equilibrium model of an economy where production and consumption occur in cities. The paper focuses on the different sizes and types of cities generated by market forces and whether these market forces generate optimally size cities.

Pediatrics, 1978
. . . records of urban populations suggest that for most of human history cities did not generally grow beyond the 50,000 to 100,000 range. For most of its celebrated life the city of Athens hovered around 50,000 people, though at periods of particular power the surrounding state may have grown to 150,000 or 200,000.
