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.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı Azerbaycan, Kazakistan, Kırgızistan, Tacikistan ve Özbekistan’ın kent nüfus büyüklüklerinin dağılımlarının Sovyet Birliği ve sonrası dönemde farklılık gösterip göstermediğini Zipf Kanunu çerçevesinde analiz etmektir. Bu amaçla ülkelerin sosyalist dönemde ve sonrasında kent nüfus verileri kullanılarak farklı yılları kapsayan yatay kesit verilerine dayalı Zipf regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre Azerbaycan ve Özbekistan dışında kalan diğer üç ülkede ekonomik sistemlerin farklılaşması kent nüfus büyüklerinin dağılımında dikkate değer değişikliklere sebep olmamıştır.
