Call for papers for conference on
spatial inequality in Latin America

UNU World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU/WIDER) is calling for papers for its conference on Spatial Inequality in Latin America being organized by the Institute of Public Policy and Development Studies at Universidad de las Americas-Puebla, Mexico, November 1-3.

Submissions are invited of completed papers or substantial abstracts that describe and analyze the evolution and state of spatial inequality in Latin America (either within country or region-wide). A broad view is taken of inequality, covering the distribution of such variables as economic activity, economic structure, population, income, social indicators, infrastructure and public expenditure.

Papers selected for the conference will be considered for a special issue of a leading English language Latin American Journal. Submissions should be made to Luis F. Lopez-Calva by July 15.
