PERSONAL INDEBTEDNESS, COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS AND THEFT CRIME
McIntyre, Stuart - European Regional Science Association - 2013
Becker (1968) and Stigler (1970) provide the germinal works for an economic analysis of crime. The approach they outlined has been utilised to consider the response of crime rates to a range of economic, criminal and socioeconomic factors. Until recently however this did not extend to a...

Spatial patterns and size distributions of cities
Mori, Tomoya; Hsu, Wen-Tai; Smith, Tony E. - European Regional Science Association - 2014
City size distributions are known to be well approximated by power laws across many countries. One popular explanation for such power-law regularities is in terms of random growth processes, where power laws arise asymptotically from the assumption of iid growth rates among all cities within a...
