The IEB research group in Human Capital aims at promoting research in the Economics of Education. The main objective of this group is to foster research related to the education and training of individuals and to promote the analysis of education systems and policies from an economic perspective. Some topics are particularly relevant: Evaluation of education and training policies; monetary and non-monetary effects of education; analysis of the international assessments of the skills of the young (PISA, PIRLS, TIMMS) and adult populations (PIAAC, IALS); education and equality, considering the inclusion of the disabled in the education system; and lifelong learning. This group puts special emphasis on applied research and on work that sheds light on policy-design issues. Moreover, research focused in Spain is given special consideration. Disseminating research findings to a broader audience is also an aim of the group. This research group enjoys the support from the IEB-Foundation. The Barcelona Institute of Economics (IEB) is a research centre at the University of Barcelona (UB) which specializes in the field of applied economics. The IEB is a foundation funded by the following institutions: Applus, Abertis,

“…Subsequently, this research in line with the significant result of the number of housing in each new city in Egypt with occupation rate. On the other hand, as mentioned by Sánchez-Vidal et al (2014) analyzing the association between the distribution of the size of New U.S. cities in the twentieth century, it is found that the growth of the cities is associated with lifespan and the age of the city. In different words, Cities tend to attract more inhabitants in the early stages of their establishment while their growth rates stabilize or decline when time passes.…”

Will Distance to the Capital City Matter When Supplying New Cities in Egypt?

Unlike other developing countries, the housing market in Egypt is characterized by densely populated urban areas in old cities and the peripheral urban agglomeration. In contrast, a high rate of vacancy along most of the new cities that have been established since the 1980s is seen. Regardless of such high rate of vacancies, still the variation in occupancy rates among those new cities is notable. Questions arising include: Does proximity to old cities or Greater Cairo affect the size of the population of the new cities? Is the size of the city or the year of establishment plays roles in attracting more inhabitants? The factors of spatial characteristics of new cities in Egypt remain questionable. This research aims to reveal the association between occupancy rate and six factors related to the spatial characteristics of new cities and their geographical locations, such as; current inhabitants, the estimated size of the target group, the size of new cities, total number of housing units, distance to nearby old city, and distance to Greater Cairo. Key words:Egyptian new cities, spatial analysis, distance to the capital city, population change Highlights for public administration, management and planning:• Occupancy rates of new cities established after 1990 are associated with city size.• Proximity to the nearby old city, or to Greater Cairo has no association with occupancy rate.• Central approach in planning new cities in Greater Cairo agglomeration is questioned.

“…Therefore, the time period considered seems to be crucial. Several studies document episodes of convergence or divergence from a long-term perspective in the US, but both convergence and divergence dissipate over time and Zipf's and Gibrat's laws gradually emerge (Desmet & Rappaport, 2017;Giesen & Südekum, 2014;Sánchez-Vidal et al, 2014).…”

“…This evidence against random growth is in line with previous studies considering historical data and long time periods. Some recent studies focusing on the US case (Desmet & Rappaport, 2017;Giesen & Südekum, 2014;Sánchez-Vidal et al, 2014) find episodes of convergence or divergence from a long-term perspective. Giesen and Südekum (2014) develop a theoretical model of urban growth with the entry of new cities, obtaining a pattern whereby Gibrat's law holds in the long run but young cities initially grow faster.…”

“…However, the empirical literature considering historical data and long time periods usually finds significant deviations from both empirical regularities. Recent literature focusing on the US case (Desmet & Rappaport, 2017;Giesen & Südekum, 2014;Sánchez-Vidal, González-Val, & Viladecans-Marsal, 2014) documents episodes of convergence or divergence from a long-term perspective, but both convergence and divergence dissipate over time and Zipf's and Gibrat's laws gradually emerge.…”

Historical urban growth in Europe (1300–1800)

This paper analyses the evolution of the European urban system from a long‐term perspective (from 1300 to 1800). Using the method recently proposed by Clauset, Shalizi, and Newman, a Pareto‐type city size distribution (power law) is rejected from 1300 to 1600. A power law is a plausible model for the city size distribution only in 1700 and 1800, although the log‐normal distribution is another plausible alternative model that we cannot reject. Moreover, the random growth of cities is rejected using parametric and non‐parametric methods. The results reveal a clear pattern of convergent growth in all the periods.
