Abstract: Over the past decade, inequality has gained increasing prominence in academic and policy circles. Importantly, one of the most significant shifts in the study of inequality is a growing appreciation of geographic inequality, specifically inequality across the 50 US states. Sparked in part by the landmark work of Raj Chetty and his colleagues, which has demonstrated that geography matters—where a child is born, or where an economically vulnerable family lands, shapes their wellbeing, and ultimately their life chances (Chetty and Hendren 2018; Chetty, Hendren, and Katz 2016; Chetty et al. 2020). Growing attention to the geographic aspects of inequality has focused greater attention on distributional inequalities within and between particular settings and jurisdictions (country, state, or local area). Social policy and policy variation are central to our understanding of these distributional inequalities.
