Renormalization group evaluation of exponents in family name distributions
De Luca, Andrea; Rossi, Paolo - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 388 (2009) 17, pp. 3609-3614
According to many phenomenological and theoretical studies the distribution of family name frequencies in a population … growing population can be represented in Hilbert space, and its time evolution may be analyzed by renormalization group … between the population growth and the name production rates. …

Chinese family name distributions in multiple scales
Chen, Jiawei; Chen, Liujun; Liu, Yan; Wang, Dahui; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 390 (2011) 21, pp. 3938-3943
The distribution of Chinese family names is investigated based on data of the fifth national census of China in 2000, including 7329 Chinese family names and 1.28 billion people. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of family name in multiple scales is presented and the correlation between...

Explaining the size distribution of cities: x-treme economies
Berliant, Marcus; Watanabe, Hiroki - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009
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...
