Résumé

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 focuses on poverty and inequality, which are directly related to the Millennium Development Goals.
Specifically, it is a cross-country study, covering a number of countries and regions that are attracting considerable professional and political attention such as China, Russia and Central Asian countries. 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.
