Luckstead, Jeff; Devadoss, Stephen - In: Economics Letters 124 (2014) 2, pp. 290-295

We examine the distributions of Chinese and Indian city sizes for seven decades (1950s to 2010s) using lognormal … change during these periods. The Chinese city size distribution is represented by lognormal in the early periods (1950 … lognormal in the earlier periods to Zipf in the later periods. …

City size distributions for India and China

Gangopadhyay, Kausik; Basu, B. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 388 (2009) 13, pp. 2682-2688

This paper studies the size distributions of urban agglomerations for India and China. We have estimated the scaling exponent for Zipf’s law with the Indian census data for the years of 1981–2001 and the Chinese census data for 1990 and 2000. Along with the biased linear fit estimate, the...
