| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The construction of new subnational databases has facilitated the discovery of research results. These results have been positively evaluated at conferences and by journal referees. As a result, the publication progress has processed more smoothly that initially planned.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
National and subnational analyses of inequality and convergence will be implemented using environment-related data. These data and related analyses will complement my perviously published results on economic and social inequality.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
To keep the sustainability of the current project. Research funds will be allocated to pay for computing resources, code and data manuals, and software for statistical analyses.
