Abstract

Several procedures have been offered in the literature to analyze the determinants of urban population density functions. A major shortcoming of almost all procedures is that they utilize only one observation for each urban area in the sample. Considering the limited number of urban areas in each sample the estimates derived based on these procedures are inefficient. This paper proposes a further procedure which utilizes all the available observations on densities thereby leading to more efficient estimates. Confirmation of our basic hypotheses is achieved applying the procedure to data from cities in Israel.
