Inequality convergence in inefficiency and interprovincial income inequality in Indonesia for 1990–2010

“…Several studies examine the factors underlying interregional income inequality, employing various inequality measures and factor decomposition techniques (e.g., Islam and Khan 1986;Akita 1988;Azis 1990;Akita and Lukman 1995;Garcia and Soelistianingsih 1998;Akita et al 1999;Hill 2000;Tadjoeddin et al 2001;Akita and Alisjahbana 2002;Hill 2002;Akita 2003;Milanovic 2005;Akita and Miyata 2008;Hill 2008;Akita and Miyata 2010;Kataoka 2010;Akita, et al 2011;Hayashi et al 2014).
