Zipf’s law and city size distribution: A survey of the literature and future research agenda
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and Its Applications, 2018 This study provides a systematic review of the existing literature on Zipf’s law for city size distribution. Existing empirical evidence suggests that Zipf’s law is not always observable even for the upper-tail cities of a territory.

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 ...

Research on the dynamics of vulnerability has to-date either focused on a regional or national scale or assessed the influence of city size on the vulnerability of the city itself.

Environment & Urbanization, 2020
Urban segregation is a widespread phenomenon with profound social implications, and one that presents difficult measurement challenges. Segregation indexes may be affected by scale or zoning biases of the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP).

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 ...

City size, migration and urban inequality in China
China Economic Review, 2018This paper examines the relationship between city size, migration, and urban income inequality using a subsample of the 1% population census of China in 2005. We calculate various measures of within-city income inequality for 252 Chinese cities.

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.

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).

On the city size distribution: A finite mixture interpretation
, 2020Previous studies have shown that city size is lognormally distributed but have not reached a consensus on the shape of the upper tail. Using three datasets of U.S.

City size and fund performance☆
Journal of Financial Economics, 2005Abstract The 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.
