This report aims to assess the spatial
disparities in economic development along four important
dimensions: (i) It provides stylized facts of the underlying
forces behind within-country inequality, namely natural
endowment, agglomeration economies, and market access. These
are the three building blocks of the economic geography
literature; (ii) It examines spatial disparities in welfare
and poverty. As the agricultural sector is a cornerstone of
the economy in this sub-region, the report explores
geographical differences in agricultural activity; (iii) It
quantifies the roles of natural endowment, agglomeration
economies, and market access in determining the spatial
distribution of welfare and agricultural productivity; (iv)
It suggests a number of policy guidelines that may help
improve shared prosperity across space. |
