SOURCES OF REGIONAL INCOME INEQUALITY: AN EXAMINATION OF SMALL REGIONS IN QUEENSLAND

Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies, 2005, vol. 17, issue 1, 35-50

Abstract: In this study, data for the 125 Local Government Areas of Queensland are used to explain the cross†sectional variation in the Gini coefficient of income inequality. This study updates earlier work for Australian regions that has used the 1981, 1986 and 1991 census data sets and incorporates a wider range of variables, allowing the testing of several competing hypotheses. The study commences with an analysis of the spatial pattern of income inequality in Queensland. Previous work in this area has not considered problems such as spatial autocorrelation, and although no evidence of this is found, the testing uncovers heteroscedasticity with the estimation techniques used in the final version of the model accounting for this problem.
