On the parametric description of log-growth rates of cities' sizes of four European countries and the USA
We have studied the parametric description of the distribution of the log-growth rates of the sizes of cities of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the USA. We have considered several parametric distributions well known in the literature as well as some others recently introduced. There are some models that provide similar excellent performance, for all studied samples. The normal distribution is not the one observed empirically.

Identification and Estimation of Production Function with Unobserved Heterogeneity
This paper examines the nonparametric identifiability of production functions, considering firm heterogeneity beyond Hicks-neutral technology terms. We propose a finite mixture model to account for unobserved heterogenei…
From noisy cell size control to population growth: when variability can be beneficial
Single-cell experiments revealed substantial variability in generation times, growth rates but also in birth and division sizes between genetically identical cells. Understanding how these fluctuations determine the fitn…
Interdependent Total Factor Productivity in an Input-Output model
Industries learn productivity improvements from their suppliers. The observed empirical importance of these interactions, often omitted by input-output models, mandates larger attention. This article embeds interdependen…
Autonomous Apple Fruitlet Sizing and Growth Rate Tracking using Computer Vision
In this paper, we present a computer vision-based approach to measure the sizes and growth rates of apple fruitlets. Measuring the growth rates of apple fruitlets is important because it allows apple growers to determine…
