The spatial dimension of inequality

Alessandra Michelangeli

This chapter focuses on spatial inequality defined as inequality in the living standards between people located in different geographical areas (city, region, country). The aim is to describe and explain the research on spatial inequality addressing different issues. The first part of the study is devoted to the measurement of spatial inequality considering income as a proxy for living standards. The second part of the chapter focuses on regional inequality mainly in Europe, highlighting specific aspects of different methodologies used to assess spatial inequality. The chapter also discusses the causal relationship between spatial inequality and economic activity.
