Description:Spatial inequality is a dimension of overall inequality, but it has added significance when spatial and regional divisions align with political and ethnic tensions to undermine social and political stability. This book contains a selection of papers from the UNU-WIDER conference on Spatial Disparities in Asia, held in March 2003 at UNU headquarters in Tokyo.

It addresses a wide range of issues including conflict-inequality interlinkages, poverty mapping, causes and consequences of inequality. In so doing it applies the latest research techniques such as regression-based decomposition, poverty decomposition and computable general equilibrium models.Containing theoretical and empirical contributions by some of the most prominent economists in the area of inequality and development studies this book will be of interests to economists, sociologists and policymakers in Asia and elsewhere.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
