This book traces regional income inequality in Spain during the
transition from a pre-industrial society to a modern economy, using
the Spanish case to shed further light on the challenges that
emerging economies are facing today. Regional inequality is
currently one of the most pressing problems in the European Union,
and this text presents a novel dataset covering 150 years to
analyse long-run trends in regional per capita GDP. Spatial
clustering and a new economic geography approach also contribute to
the historical analysis provided, which points to the role played
by spatial externalities and their growing relevance over time. To
identify the presence of spatial dependence is crucial, not only
for getting a better understanding of distribution dynamics, but
also for economic policy purposes. What are the potential causes
behind the disparities in regional per capita income and
productivity? The authors answer this by comparing results with
evidence available for other countries, chiefly France, Italy and
Portugal, but is of global relevance.
