Abstract: Recent declines in the populations of some major metropolitan regions may not be inconsistent with the notion of agglomeration economies. An analysis of utility maximizing behavior in the choice of city size suggests that an increase in such economies may be the cause of outmigration from large cities, and that, in any event, increases in incomes across all cities should, ceteris paribus , induce such outmigration.
