“…These studies in general investigate the determinants of regional income disparities in an econometric framework employing different techniques. For instance, Breau (2015) employs multi-level models in order to explain differences and variances in the spatial distribution of earnings in Canada, Cristescu (2015) attempts to describe the factors that have an impact on the regional earnings and earnings inequality in Romania within a panel-data framework, Zhou (2014) examines the increasing earnings inequality by employing variance function regressions in order to decompose the growth in earnings inequality, Pereira and Galego (2015) investigates inequality in Portugal by focusing on wage differentials within regions by using a quantile-based decomposition technique, Santos and Vieira (2015) estimated earnings equation and used Shapley value in its decomposition in order to investigate the main causes of personal income inequality in both rural and urban Brazil.…”

This study examines the regional earnings inequality between NUTS-1 regions in Turkey using Theil-T statistics by employing Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC) data provided by Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT). We attempt to investigate the evolution of regional earnings inequality for the years 2006 and 2014 by decomposing the Theil T index in order to distinguish its within and between groups components with the special focus on the several attributive subgroups of labor such as education, economic sector, position in occupation and gender. We interpret the decomposition of Theil-T index with regard to its marginal and gross contributions of these subgroups to total inequality in order to measure their explanatory power of earnings inequality.

“…Sridhar 2017gives the research results about the specializations and its process of Indian cities and towns, as well as about "the specialization identified as a result of local advantages versus industry or national economic growth". The analyses of the Northeast region of Brazil show that "education and worker experience are the most relevant variables to explain the high index of inequality in earnings in both the rural and urban areas" (Santos, Vieira, 2015).…”

The aim of this paper is to analyze and assess direction and intensity of changes in structure of activities in urban settlements in Serbia with more than 20,000 inhabitants, to determine the tendencies of that process, as well as the moment or the period of achieving their equilibrium structure of development activities. In addition, this paper defines the regularities of functional urban areas changes depending on their demographic size, on one hand, and depending on the period of exercising their convergent-uniform structure, on the other hand. Results of the analysis were used for testing the hypotheses put forward in the context of previous research related to the period of most intense industrialization-60s and 70s of the last century. While in this paper, for comparison, that period of time was covered, the focus of the research refers to the period 1981-2011.

“…Using a quantile-based decomposition technique, Pereira and Galego (2015) focus on the evolution of intra-regional wage inequality between 1995 and 2005 in the regions of Portugal. Similarly, Santos and Vieira (2015) follow up with a method to search for the factors of personal income inequality in both urban and rural areas of Brazil. Mendoza-Velazquez et al (2019) study the convergence among Mexican states during the 1940-2010 period.…”

In this study using household data, we aim to track the trends in regional income polarization in Turkey and focus on the extent of and trends in regional income disparity. With the help of classical and newly developed indexes and decomposition methodologies, we estimate the polarization level, temporal trends and the decomposition within and between regions of the western and eastern regions in Turkey. We also analysed the impact of being in the east or in the west on income polarization, controlling for other individual and household characteristics. To shed more light on the underlying mechanisms behind the polarization between two regions, we performed an ordered logit regression.
