An accurate and reliable model is critical for analyzing racial/ethnic and socioeconomic inequality in the spatial distribution of higher-priced/subprime mortgages. Employing a spatial error model, this research analyzes spatial autocorrelation in higher-priced mortgages in the Philadelphia and Chicago MSAs. The empirical results show that higher-priced mortgages occur disproportionately on tra...

This article addresses shortcomings in the literature on environmental inequality by (a) setting forth and testing four models of environmental inequality and (b) explicitly linking environmental inequality research to spatial mismatch theory and to the debate on the declining significance of race. The explanatory models ask whether the distribution of blacks and whites around environmental haz...

Participation inequality – the phenomenon that a very small percentage of participants contribute a very significant proportion of information to the total output – is persistent across Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and citizen science projects. It has been identified in both online and offline projects that rely on volunteers’ effort over the past 20 years and, therefore, can be exp...

Housing inequality is a widespread phenomenon around the world, and it varies widely across countries regions. The housing market naturally spatial in its attributes, with transformation of China’s urbanization, industrialization, globalization, increasingly severe. According to geospatial differences supply, demand, price, by integrating influencing factors economic, social, innovation, facili...

The aim of this research is to analyse the effect income inequality on homicide rate. study carried out in 18 Latin American countries for period 2005–2018. methodology used Generalized Least Squares (GLS) model and data were obtained from World Development Indicators, Health Organization Inter-American Bank.

This paper explores the spatial domain of sets of inequalities where each inequality contains at most two variables – a domain that is richer than intervals and more tractable than g...

During the first decade of the twenty-first century, Chinese cities have experienced the unprecedented housing development and marketization, which has profoundly changed housing consumption. Using the latest census data, this paper provides the first evaluation of housing consumption in Chinese cities during 2000–2010. Not surprisingly, housing consumption has improved significantly over time,...

A challenge in regional inequality is to identify the relative influence of objective neighborhood context on subjective citizens’ attitudes and experiences of place. This paper first presents six groups of hierarchal neighborhoods in optimizing public service inequality (PSI) indicators based on census blocks collected in Quito, Ecuador. Multilevel models were then applied to understand the re...
