This book addresses three main issues in regional income inequality
and development: meaning of regional inequality, measurement of
regional inequality and the relationship between national economic
development and regional income inequality. It provides analytical
methods useful in exploring the determinants of regional inequality
in income and productivity. Some software commands in Stata
(statistical software package) available for the measurement and
analysis of income inequality are also introduced. Some researchers
have argued that spatial concentration of population in and around
major cities and the concurrent increase in regional inequality do
not hinder national economic development, and may stimulate it.
Nevertheless, many national governments seek to promote balanced
regional economic development and reduce regional income
inequality, because unbalanced development and higher levels of
regional inequality may cause political or ethnic conflicts between
different regions of the country. As the applications of the
analytical methods introduced in the first part of the book, the
second part presents four independent empirical studies on regional
inequality and development in Indonesia. They offer very
interesting case studies for the formulation of policies and
programs to reduce regional inequalities, because as the world's
largest archipelagic country with more than 13 thousand islands and
300 ethnic groups, Indonesia is spatially diverse in terms of its
ecology, natural resource endowments, economy, ethnicity and
culture.This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and
graduate students who are interested in national economic
development and regional income inequality. It is also beneficial
for practitioners and policy makers who are in charge of the
formulation, implementation and evaluation of development policies
and programs.
