本研究探讨了大样本国家种族间不平等的后果和根源。首先，结合卫星图像的夜间光度与民族语言群体的家园，我们构建种族不平等的措施。其次，我们发现了一个强大的反向关联种族不平等和当代发展之间的关系，超越了跨地区和跨行政单位的不平等。第三，我们建立了民族家园的地理禀赋差异解释了相当大的一部分群体之间的经济差异的变化。第四，我们表明，在各民族家园的地理禀赋的不平等是一个负相关的发展。
This study explores the consequences and origins of between-ethnicity inequality for a large sample of countries. First, combining satellite images of nighttime luminosity with the homelands of ethnolinguistic groups, we construct measures of ethnic inequality. Second, we uncover a strong inverse association between ethnic inequality and contemporary development above and beyond its relationship with cross-region and cross-administrative unit inequality. Third, we establish that differences in geographic endowments across ethnic homelands explain a sizable fraction of the variation in economic disparities across groups. Fourth, we show that inequality in geographic endowments across ethnic homelands is a negative correlate of development.
