Spatial consumption inequality in Mozambique

Abstract: In this paper, I show that the trend in spatial inequality in Mozambique almost entirely explains the outstanding surge in inequality in the country over the past decade, as well as its decline immediately after the pandemic, in contrast to its secondary role in the earliest years. For this analysis, I use an innovative regression-based decomposition framework based on the recentred influence function to estimate each area's contribution to inequality and a Blinder-Oaxaca approach to disentangle the nature of their contribution to spatial and non-spatial inequality trends.
