Recognizing Power-Law Distributions
2002Power-law distributions or, for being more general, heavy-tailed distributions (Sect. 1.3) become more and more important for assessing natural and manmade hazards. In principle, we already know how to analyze an observed distribution of object sizes with respect to scale-invariant properties.

Energy distribution, power laws, and economic growth [PDF]
, 2008 The natural sciences have established a general scaling law that relates metabolism and body size of animals. Recently this association - known as Kleiber's law - has received deep theoretical foundation by network theory and has been fruitfully applied to explain various biological phenomena, in particular ontogenetic growth.

Laws and the Distribution of Power in Society
1996Though power has traditionally been considered to be the central concept of political science, it has come to be relatively neglected in the ‘new’ political science, strongly influenced by economics and more generally by theories of rational choice.

Analyzing Zipf’s Law: Reflections on Power Law or Sigmoid Distribution
The Urban hierarchy has often been explained with Zipf’s law, a par-ticular form of the power law where the shape parameter tends to equal 1. There is a large literature on the applicability of Zipf’s law to different spatial and his-torical contexts, which is generally valid but not optimal.Giampiero Lombardini, Simone Lombardini
