| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project considers various aspects of inequality. Regarding wage inequality, we find gender wage gap due to discrimination will subside when females gain enough education and participate in specific occupations/industries. Private and public wage differences can be diminished if the government promotes fair competition among sectors. Regarding geographic favoritism and firms, we find private firms respond to the home favoritism from politicians particularly in rural areas and construction industry. Besides, setting up industrial zones helps to increase the number of private firms in the locality. Private partnership in the zone development works best. In addition, we find heat does reduce test taking performance even among the hottest areas in the country. Educators should care about heat impacts and the prevention measures for students.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
First, wage discrimination might be dismissed by the market mechanism. Second, the private sector is sensitive to economic incentives. Third, the development of the private sector is crucial for economic development. Fourth, heat waves/climate changes might lead to regional inequality.
