New Evidence on Gibrat’s Law for Cities
The aim of this work is to test empirically the validity of Gibrat’s law on the growth of cities, using data on the complete distribution of cities (without size restrictions) from three countries (the US, Spain and Italy) for the entire 20th century. In order to achieve this, different techniques are used. First, panel data unit root tests tend to confirm the validity of Gibrat’s law in the upper-tail distribution. Secondly, when the entire dist…
Patterns in US Urban Growth, 1790–2000
G onz lez- V al R . and L anaspa L. Patterns in US urban growth, 1790-2000, Regional Studies . This paper reconsiders the path of the growth of American cities since 1790 (when the first census was published). The null hypothesis for long-term growth is random growth. Evidence supporting random growth in city sizes is obtained by using panel unit root tests. Growth patterns different from the overall unit root trend detected are also extracted, w…
Common Trends and Linkages in the US Manufacturing Sector, 1969–2000
Manufacturing employment series may reflect economically significant trends over time. This proposition is tested using annual employment data for 20 US industrial sectors in the 50 states covering the period 1969–2000. First, we test whether the individual state employment series follow Gibrat's Law. Our results suggest that this is mainly the case. Secondly, we establish whether the series taken two‐by‐two share common stochastic trends and lin…
The Evolution of Spanish Urban Structure during the Twentieth Century
In this paper, an analysis is made of the evolution of Spanish urban structure during the period 1900-99. It is postulated that the size distribution of the cities follows a Pareto distribution, which is estimated on a yearly basis. At the same time, the hypothesis is adopted that the intradistribution dynamics can be modelled by means of a Markov chain. In this way, are deduced the so-called transition matrix and its associated vector or ergodic…

Geographical Dynamics
There is a certain degree of consensus that economic activity is more concentrated in the US than in Europe. In this paper we aim to test the empirical validity of such a proposition, identifying the sectors for which this assertion is more appropriate and determining their predictable future evolution. There are three main results. First, that the US economic area is not clearly more concentrated than that of Europe; second, that the economic la…
Multiple equilibria, stability, and asymmetries in Krugman's core-periphery model
Multiple equilibria, stability, and asymmetries in Krugman's core‐periphery model
The Public Sector and Core-Periphery Models
In this paper, we present an extension to Krugman's core-periphery model-namely, the introduction of the public sector as a new economic agent. There are two main results: first, we demonstrate theoretically that regions with a lower tax-burden in net terms, in the sense of having lower taxes and/or higher levels of public efficiency in their management, offer greater incentives to attract economic activity; secondly, the influence of the transpo…
Krugman's Core-Periphery Model with Heterogeneous Quality of Land
In 1991, Krugman developed a general equilibrium model with two sectors and two regions, from which two patterns of industrial location could be deduced endogenously, namely symmetric dispersion at 50 per cent and total concentration. In this paper, we present a very simple extension to this original model. The consideration of regions with different agricultural populations, reflecting a different quality of land, allows us to deduce asymmetric …
