regional disparities

This paper proposes new over- and underperformance measures to complement previous measures of inequality and convergence. These measure are illustrated using subnational HDIs for 1778 regions in 163 countries.

During the Western Economic Association International (WEAI) conference 2021, we have a session on multidimensional poverty, including presentation by Gaston Yalonetzky, Maria Emma Santos, Suman Seth and myself. Moreover, I also present ongoing work on regional disparities.
