Universidad de Zaragoza The impact of the American Civil War on city growth 2015 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This paper analyses the persistence of the shock caused by the American Civil War on the relative city size distribution of the USA. Two features make the study of this conflict interesting. First, it took place at an earlier stage of the industrialisation and urbanisation processes than those previously analysed in the related literature. Second, the battles were fought in the open field, not in urban areas. In line with previous results for the Second World War in Japanese and German cities, our findings suggest that the effects of the shock were transitory. Furthermore, some evidence regarding the possible presence of a ‘safe harbour effect’ is reported. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/AP2008-03561 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ECO2009-09332 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/SEC2006-04893 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.934 2015 URBAN STUDIES 8 / 39 = 0.205 2015 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 36 / 104 = 0.346 2015 Q2 T2 1.56 2015 Urban Studies 2015 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2015 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-3725-0022 Sanz, F.
