Impact factors and space‐time characteristics of income inequality in a global sample

Abstract

Inequality has been of growing interest in the political debate and in theoretical and empirical studies for some decades. Therefore, the study of regional inequality raises some relevant questions related to the spatial nature of the data. In fact, adopting a regional point of view implies the opportunity to consider spatial interactions, which traditional studies do not include in their analyses. Therefore, the study aims to analyze income inequality before (GINI1) and after (GINI2) income and transfers, using a data

Achieving sustainable development by reducing income inequality: The differential impact of industrial land expansion in urban agglomerations

“…The relationship between economic development and income inequality has been widely discussed in the literature (Quito et al, 2022). This paper finds that the urban–rural income gap will not automatically narrow with economic development, and external policy measures need to be taken to intervene in this imbalance in urban–rural development, which is similar to the research of Zhang et al (2022).…”

“…Income inequality has a long‐term negative impact on human sustainable development (Castells‐Quintana et al, 2019). Notably, the income inequality of an economy depends not only on its system and policies but also on the growth level and financial development level of its neighbors (Quito et al, 2022). The urban–rural income gap in China has significant spatial heterogeneity, with the urban–rural income distribution in the eastern region being more reasonable than that in the western region (Zhang et al, 2022; Zhong et al, 2022).…”
