Is Income Inequality Converging at the Regional Level? Evidence from LIS Data

No 841, LIS Working papers from LIS Cross-National Data Center in Luxembourg

Abstract: This study provides new insights into regional income inequality convergence across and within countries, building on the increased availability of Luxem- bourg Income Study (LIS) data. It finds evidence of regional income inequal- ity convergence across countries, but finds heterogenous trends within coun- tries. The study also explores the impact of state systems on regional income inequality convergence, providing evidence that the state system (federal, unitary or hybrid) matters for income inequality convergence, with unitary states being associated with regional income inequality convergence.
