Why do some countries provide better access to life-saving public goods than others? An enduring explanation from the political economy literature points ethnic heterogeneity in impeding provision. However, previous studies have not examined how “diversity deficit” directly affects improved water and sanitation, a leading cause of continued under-5 mortality globally, this effect varies for urb...

Controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) data are sensitive to the subsurface resistivity distribution, but 3D inversion results are ambiguous, and in-depth interpretation is challenging. Resolution and sensitivity analysis as well as the influence of noise on resolution have been used to quantify 3D inversion performance. Based on these numerical studies, a land-based CSEM survey was designed ...

away from short-term dynamics of the business cycle that might impact inequality. Second, the inequality data are available for only a limited number of years for many countries and there are often substantial gaps in the time-series. A truly dynamic statistical model is, therefore, beyond the available data. Initially, we estimate simple cross-sectional regressions of the sort outlined in (Bec...
