Article The Future of Urban Hierearchy and Zipf Law: Arima and Bats Forecasting(Springer Heidelberg, 2025) Duran, Hasan Engin; Duran, Hasan Engin; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyZipf's Law is recognized as a power law which is used to identify the extent and the evolution of the urban hierarchies. The existing studies have mostly adopted a retrospective view by analysing the past patterns. However, we would like to shed a light onto the future trajectories. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the future of Urban Hierarchies and Zipf's Law for the U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) and the period 1969-2070. Having applied, two forecasting methods; i."ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average)", ii. "BATS (Exponential smoothing state space model Box-Cox transformation, ARMA errors, Trend and Seasonal components)" and the estimation of rank-size rule, we obtained crucial conclusions (Box and Jenkins in: Time series analysis: forecasting and control, Holden-Day, San Francisco, 1970; Box et al. in: Time series analysis: forecasting and control, Wiley, New Jersey, 2016; Kinney in Acc Rev 53:48-60, 1978; Hyndman et al. in R package version 8.24.0, https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/forecast/forecast.pdf, 2025; De Livera in: Automatic forecasting with a modified exponential smoothing state space framework, Department of Econometrics & Business Statistics, Monash University (Working Papers 10/10). https://www.monash.edu/business/econometrics-and-business%20statistics/research/publications/ebs/wp10-10.pdf, 2010; De Livera et al. in: Forecasting time series with complex seasonal patterns using exponential smoothing.

We provide evidence that the Zipf's Law is observed not to hold over the last century and, if existing conditions hold, it is not expected to be valid in the next 50 years. Pareto exponent is found significantly below the Pareto level, historically, currently and prospectively.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Region-Specific Turning Points in Territorial Economic Resilience: A Business Cycle Approach To Turkey(Routledge, 2024) Elburz, Zeynep; Duran, Hasan Engin; Kourtit, K.; Nijkamp, P.; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02.03. Department of City and Regional Planning; 02. Faculty of ArchitectureAlmost all regional economic resilience studies measure resilience by referring to national time patterns of recessions. This study of region-specific patterns of resilience of 81 Turkish regions in the period 2009–20 and their underlying economic/demographic determinants in regions in Turkey shows that ignoring the different timings of regional and national economy recessions leads to misleading/biased results. The study shows first that provincial employment cycles are asynchronous. Second, the geographical pattern of resistance to the last 2018 economic crisis changes considerably when using province-specific rather than national turning points. Third, those provinces that are more open to trade, export- oriented, highly urbanised, and with a low level of human capital and entrepreneurial activities were more resistant to the recession. © 2023 Regional Studies Association.
