Empirical evidence suggests that regional disparities in incomes are often very high, that these disparities do not necessarily disappear as economies grow and that these disparities are itself an important driver of growth.

Air pollution disproportionately burdens communities of color and lower-income in US cities. We have generally lacked city-wide concentration measurements that resolve the steep spatiotemporal gradients primary pollutants required to describe intra-urban air inequality. Here, we use observations from recently launched TROPospheric Ozone Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) satellite sensor physics-b...

This article includes cases of NTDs that were less than 28 weeks of GA. METHODS Data used in t...

METHODS Using available tabulations and reliable micro data from national household surveys, data for 18 Ar...
