Parametric, semiparametric and nonparametric models of urban growth
Abstract This paper discusses parametric, nonparametric, and semiparametric models of urban growth. To illustrate differences across approaches, we test Gibrat's law in the long run, using the three methods and three different datasets: Spanish capital cities and regions (1900–2011, annual data) and US MSAs (1900–2000, decennial data). Our results reveal that the estimation of the relationship between growth and initial size can significantly vary across methods. We suggest and encourage the use of semiparametric methods in future research of urban growth.
