Abstract: Abstract Regional economic disparities have now become one of the most important areas of concern both in the developed and developing nations of the world. There is a spurt of literature in the development economies centring on regional disparities dealing with both theoretical and empirical issues. This chapter deals with both the theoretical and empirical literatures in great detail. The empirical literatures explain the empirical observations found on regional disparity across different countries. This chapter explores a repository of past research on regional disparity in a detailed way.
