Abstract


This paper explores the change in the concentration of poor individuals in the neighborhoods of a city, taking into account neighborhood locations on urban map. Urban poverty concentration is measured and the change over time in urban poverty concentration is broken down into different components. Each of these components is further split into spatial components explaining the extent to which spatial dependence affects the change in urban poverty concentration.
