Abstract: | It is the purpose of this paper to critically re-examine Williamson's original axiom of regional inequality as it relates to the process of national development under a new dimension: income distribution disparities within the population of the regions. The dynamic association between inequality and development in general and the convergence hypothesis in particular will be retested. Instead of Williamson's coefficient of variation we introduce a set of Regional Dissimilarity Indices that measures the dissimilarity of the spatial distribution of population by income at the national level. |
