The book identifies significant clustering, with relatively high (low) income provinces located next to high (low) income provinces showing positive spatial autocorrelation. The book finds strong evidence that both a province’s own inequality and inequality in the neighboring provinces negatively affected per capita GDP growth in the provinces of Argentina between 1991 and 2002. The results could represent a political economy scenario in which high level of inequality caused by rent- seeking and other unproductive activities of the middle class inhibit growth, in response to distorting redistribution...
