Exploring Spatial Trends in Wealth Inequalities in Punjab, Pakistan

This study examines disparities in wealth inequality across districts in Punjab, Pakistan. The paper documents Gini coefficients of wealth inequality using disaggregated household data, assessing disparities at the district level and further disaggregated by urban and rural areas within each district. The study deploys spatial statistical methods to analyse the geographic concentration of wealth inequality, revealing clustering patterns and spatial correlation structures that are obscured in aggregate provincial statistics. Findings advance understanding of intra-provincial inequality dynamics and provide an empirical basis for spatially differentiated policy responses to wealth concentration and deprivation.
