| dc.description.abstractEn | This article investigates the role of cointegration in the context of urban growth processes. It proposes the use of cointegration tests to distinguish between two versions of Gibrat’s law: a standard formalization with growth shocks that are iid across time and cities, and an alternative one with shocks that are only iid over time. It then shows that city-size distributions converge to Zipf’s law under the standard version of Gibrat’s law; in contrast, they are perfectly preserved under the alternative formalization. An empirical application to French data provides support for non-cointegrated city growth, and thus for the standard formalization. | |
