This paper explores the concepts and computational methods used tomeasure spatial inequality, emphasizing a reproducible approach thatsocial scientists can apply to their research. The analysis focuses ongeographic income disparities at the sub-national level, using Mexico asa case study. By examining various a-spatial and spatially explicitapproaches, the paper highlights the complexities of measuringinequality across places and over time. The discussion includes a reviewof traditional inequality measures and introduces spatial decompositionmethods that account for the geographical distribution of income. Thefindings underscore the importance of integrating spatial considerationsinto inequality analysis to better understand the patterns and driversof regional disparities, thereby informing more effective and equitablepolicy interventions.

Let be a Noetherian local ring of dimension . We prove that if , then the classical Lech’s inequality can be improved uniformly for all -primary ideals, that is, there exists such that for all -primary ideals . This answers a question raised by Huneke, Ma, Quy, and Smirnov [Adv. Math. 372 (2020), pp. 107296, 33]. We also obtain partial results towards improvements of Lech’s inequality when we fix the number of generators of .more » « less
