“…Although the urban-rural gap of cities with concentrated structures was large, the potential for improvement is correspondingly large. Statistical conclusions and previous research results [33] are consistent with the history of urban development [34,35]. Although the urban structure has been used to explain these statistical phenomena, other influencing factors remain to be investigated [36].…”

The size of a city is not only essential for depicting the scale of the urban system, but also crucial to support the prosperity, order, and high-speed developments. However, its relation to the underlying urban structure has not been empirically investigated in detail. To examine the impact of city size on the city structure and quantify structural features, in this study, a statistical analysis was performed based on network science and an interdisciplinary theoretical system. To obtain the statistical law of internal node layout, the urban system was regarded as a complete graph weighted by the Euclidean distance. The relationship between the urban internal nodes layout (points of interest data, Weibo check-in data, and central point of road intersection data) and the city size was established. The results confirmed the existence of statistical laws in the layout of urban spatial elements, and explored the relationship between the changes in urban node network structure and inequality. This study provided a new perspective of urban structure to understand the complexity of the city, and suggested an approach to adjust this structure to narrow down the gap between the urban and rural areas.

“…There were a very few exceptions to this decrease in efficiency, although some cities lost it more intensely than others. In this sense, various authors have shown that even in the early stages of the development of the modern Spanish economy, there was a noticeable trend towards asymmetrical development of the market potential of the different regions, a phenomenon that had intense effects of the spatial distribution of the economic activity (see Martínez-Galarraga 2014;Tirado et al2013;González-Val et al 2013). As a result, these differences in the loss of efficiency by the city-based monetary markets that we have detected reveal structural changes that are occurring in the Spanish economic geography, unevenly affecting each of the territories.…”

Money Market Integration in Spain in the Ninetheen Century: The Role of the 1875-1885 Decade

Are transaction costs and half-lives between two cities the same in both directions in traditional city-based monetary systems? Market conditions and political circumstances may not justify this assumption; and we provide evidence that it does not hold in the 1825-1885 period in Spain.Moreover, we show empirical evidence that market integration in Spain from 1875 to 1885 was a slow process of monetary unification with decreasing transaction costs, and a very inefficient convergence. Therefore, full integration did not happen in the period 1875-1885 and had to wait until mid-1880s, when the Spanish money-market was unified due to financial innovations.

“…This revival of the market potential function led to a broad range of empirical literature explaining spatial divergence in income and the distribution of economic activity (see Redding, ). Within this strand of literature, some approaches were explicitly dedicated to the explanation of urban growth, combining the NEG with the more traditional urban economics literature (e.g., Au & Henderson, ; Black & Henderson, ; Da Mata, Deichmann, Henderson, Lall, & Wang, ; González‐Val, Tirado‐Fabregat, & Viladecans‐Marsal, ). All of those estimations find a strong positive relation between market potential and urban population and/or income growth.…”

The impact of EU Eastern enlargement on urban growth and decline: New insights from Germany's Eastern border

This paper uses the quasi‐experimental setting of the 2004 EU enlargement, as well as town‐level data along the affected German border, to estimate the effect of economic integration on border town population development. Using a difference‐in‐differences approach, we find that the accession has had a significant positive effect on the rate of population change after 2004. However, this does not offset the, generally, poorer population development of border towns compared to interior towns. Moreover, the integration effect appears to strongly depend on initial local conditions. No effects were found for Polish towns on the opposite side of the border.
