摘要:
The relationship of population density to distance has been of continual interest in urban economics. However, the true functional relationship between these two variables has not been formally tested. In this paper the Box and Cox [1] transformation technique is used to test five alternative specifications on statistical grounds. It was found that the semi-log and double-log relationships are not always the correct functional form to use in describing the relationship between the population density and distance within an urban area.
