dc.description.abstract | Income inequality can be measured at different levels of aggregation such as global,continental, international and national levels. Here we consider income inequality at regionsdefined as equivalent of continental and sub-continental levels. We investigate the economicdisparity between regions of the world and among countries within each continent or subcontinent.The empirical results for data availability reasons are mainly based on the secondhalf of the 20th century. The review covers a whole range of measures and methodsfrequently employed in empirical analysis of the global and regional income inequality andincome distribution. Different determinant factors along with quantification of their impacts arepresented and empirical results from different case studies are discussed. Finally, theseresults are contrasted to those obtained based on the WIID covering the same period andgroup of countries. | en |
