Abstract: In this talk I will cover the recent advances in the theory of power law distributions, in particular the role of Markov modulation and random stopping emphasized by Beare and Toda (2022), which builds on Nakagawa (2007)’s Tauberian theorem. Applications include the emergence of Zipf’s law in Japanese cities and the spread of COVID-19. I will also present open mathematical problems.
