This chapter provides a discussion on the concept of spatial inequality from a multidimensional perspective. The idea put forth is to emphasize the interconnection between an unfair outcome distribution and its individual variation at the local level. The additional information on the spatial dimension allows for a different proposal in terms of both measurement and policy implications. The first step is to present a brief overview of the concept of spatial inequality. We then look at a novel aspect of the spatial pattern of inequality of opportunity. Finally, the chapter suggests several regional and national policies investigating the trade-off of equity and efficiency in the process of redistribution.

Abstract
This chapter provides a discussion on the concept of spatial inequality from a multidimensional perspective. The idea put forth is to emphasize the interconnection between an unfair outcome distribution and its individual variation at the local level. The additional information on the spatial dimension allows for a different proposal in terms of both measurement and policy implications. The first step is to present a brief overview of the concept of spatial inequality. We then look at a novel aspect of the spatial pattern of inequality of opportunity. Finally, the chapter suggests several regional and national policies investigating the trade-off of equity and efficiency in the process of redistribution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
