Mean Reversion of the German City System After the WWII Bombing of Cities: What Is the Mean?

Nguyen, Duc A.; Brakman, Steven; Garretsen, Harry; … - 2024

We study the post-war effects of the bombing of German cities during WWII on urban growth and use the synthetic control method (SCM) to construct comparison units for affected West-German cities. The reason to use SCM is that cities might experience structural changes that have nothing to do...

Theoretical study of the effect of ports in the formation of city systems

Lugo, Igor; Martínez-Mekler, Gustavo - In: Journal of Shipping and Trade (JST) 7 (2022) 1, pp. 1-16

This paper explores theoretically the formation of a system of cities in which ports affect the spatial location and the size of cities. We use a complex systems and economic geography approach to generate 2D cellular automata to simulate the formation of the landscape of urban agglomerations...

Normal but skewed?

Amengual, Dante; Bei, Xinye; Sentana, Enrique - 2021

We propose a multivariate normality test against skew normal distributions using higher-order loglikelihood derivatives which is asymptotically equivalent to the likelihood ratio but only requires estimation under the null. Numerically, it is the supremum of the univariate skewness coefficient...

Analysis of city size distribution in Ethiopia: Empirical evidence from 1984 to 2012

Ermias, Amha; Bogaert, Jan; Wogayehu, Fisseha - In: Journal of Urban Management 8 (2019) 2, pp. 237-244

Ethiopia's city size distribution from 1984 to 2012, using descriptive statistics and time-series Gini coefficient calculations …. Over that period, the study found that overall city size distribution followed an apparent parallel growth pattern, with … disparities among the country's regional states. This demonstrates that the parallel growth rule of city size distribution found …
