We do so in the context of a city community. Our argument is that organizational diversity will be positively affected by heterogeneity within the city's population. We focus on a key aspect of population heterogeneity: religious pluralism. We test our logic with time series data for the Dutch city of Zwolle in the 1851-1914 period and find clear evidence for our key logic.

We work backwards in a racetrack economy with eight cities in a long-run equilibrium. Initial distribution of population is chosen to satisfy both the rank-size rule and central place hierarchy. We have a short-run equilibrium in which firms choose prices and consumers choose consumption taking the number of workers in each region as given. In the long-run equilibrium, workers choose simultaneously where to live and which sector to take a job. After checking for consistency and integrity of the model, we move on to exit from the lock-in state to see what population implosion would entail. In each period, natural changes occur according to the city size and they are followed by social changes in which workers roam across cities in search of higher utility. A generally decreasing trend is apparent, but we find some salient ...
