Demographics and the decline in firm entry : lessons from a life-cycle model
Röhe, Oke; Stähler, Nikolai - 2020
Since the mid-1970s, firm entry rates in the United States have declined significantly. This also holds for other OECD countries over the past years. At the same time, these economies experienced a gradual process of population aging. Applying a tractable life-cycle model with endogenous firm...

Distance-based methods : Ripley's K function vs. K density function
Albert, José M.; Roig-Casanova, Marta; Mateu, Jorge; … - 2011 - Preliminary version
In this paper, we propose an analytical and methodological comparison between two of the most known distance-based methods in the evaluation of the geographic concentration of economic activity. These two methods are Ripley's K function, a cumulative function popularised by Marcon and Puech...

Size distributions for all cities : lognormal and q-exponential functions
González-Val, Rafael; Ramos-Gutiérrez, Arturo; Sanz, … - 2011
This paper analyses in detail the features offered by a function which is practically new to Urban Economics, the q-exponential, in describing city size distributions. We highlight two contributions. First, we propose a new and simple procedure for estimating their parameters. Second, and more...

The pan-European population distribution across consistently defined functional urban areas
Schmidheiny, Kurt; Südekum, Jens - 2015
We analyze the first data set on consistently defined functional urban areas in Europe and compare the European to the US urban system. City sizes in Europe do not follow a power law: the largest cities are "too small" to follow Zipf's law.

Spatial patterns and size distributions of cities
Hsu, Wen-Tai; Mori, Tomoya; Smith, Tony E. - 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...
