Journal Special Issue Spatial Inequality and Development Many developing and transition countries have considerable regional variation in average household income, poverty, and in health and educational status.
Editor Ravi Kanbur Anthony J. Table of contents. Venables 2. How has spatial inequality been evolving over the past two decades? There is evidence that, within many countries, it has been on the increase. In Mexico and China where trade liberalization has been associated with overall growth the benefits of this growth have not flowed evenly across space. The same has been true in many transition countries.
However, a number of key questions remain. To what extent is some increase in spatial inequality a natural feature of development, as growth is initially concentrated in a few regions? Is this increase temporary, and how long is it likely to take for growth to spread from region to region? The second broad question is, what are the determinants of spatial inequalities?
If the world was a 'featureless plane', and if economic activity had the standard neoclassical properties, then economic activity would be evenly distributed across space and there would be no spatial dimension to inequality. But the world does not satisfy either of these two assumptions. There are real geographical features such as mountains and coasts and forests and rivers that can affect the distribution of economic activity and spatial inequality in wellbeing. More importantly, activity has a propensity to cluster together.
This occurs as firms benefit from forwards and backwards linkages with proximate supplier and customer firms; as firms and workers benefit from the development of large pools of skilled labour; and as firms learn from observing the behaviour of close by competitors. Given these forces, it is to be expected that activity should cluster together.
Does this matter, and what are the implications for policy? If economic activity tends to cluster then it suggests that development is unlikely to take the form of smooth convergence in the economic performance of regions or countries. Some places will boom, while others will lag behind.
