شماره ركورد

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze whether there is a difference in city size distribution of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan between in the era of socialism and in the post-era of socialism within the framework of the Zipf’s law. Cross section data analysis is used for both periods in these countries to estimate Zipf’s law. Empirical results show that different economic systems have not caused remarkable changes in the city size distribution of analyzed countries except Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan in the periods of socialism and post-socialism.
