Some Empirical Regularities of Spatial Economies: A Relationship between Industrial Location and City Size

Mori, Tomoya; Nishikimi, Koji; Smith, Tony E. - Institute of Economic Research, Kyoto University - 2002

The spatial distribution of industries and population is quite lumpy, and this lumpiness varies across industries. Nevertheless, we show using Japanese data for metropolitan areas that the locations of both industries and population are linked by surprisingly simple and persistent patterns. In...

Secondary Towns and Poverty Reduction: Refocusing the Urbanization Agenda

Christiaensen, Luc; Kanbur, Ravi - 2017

This review is framed around the exploration of a central hypothesis: A shift in public investment towards secondary towns from big cities will improve poverty reduction performance. Of course the hypothesis raises many questions. What exactly is the dichotomy of secondary towns versus big...

Explaining the Size Distribution of Cities: X-treme Economies

Berliant, Marcus; Watanabe, Hiroki - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011

We criticize the theories used to explain the size distribution of cities. They take an empirical fact and work backward to obtain assumptions on primitives. The induced theoretical assumptions on consumer behavior, particularly about their inability to insure against the city-level productivity...
