Gibrat's law for counties in medieval England: an empirical study

Marcelo Resende

Applied Economics Letters, 2010, vol. 17, issue 7, 707-710

Abstract: The article investigates a distributional implication of Gibrat's Law (GL) in the context of English counties in the eleventh century, taking as reference population data from the Domesday Book. Tests for the log-normality of the size distribution (including specific assessments of the skewness and kurtosis) provided evidence that favours the prevalence of GL.
