贺三维著的《中国多尺度区域差异分析--地理空间分析视角(英文版)/中南财经政法大学公共管理文库》讲述了：The study of regional inequality has attractednumerous attentions of geographers andeconomists. The interdisciplinary research hasbeen reflected in a spatial-temporal hierarchicalstructure, that is, the multi-scalar nature ofeconomic convergence and the temporaldynamics of geographical inequality. With thesupport of big databases, the integration ofthese two growing fields provides opportunitiesfor a spatially integrated social science. Therefore,this paper aims to explore this long-debatedissue from two novel perspectives. On the onehand, the newly available county-level datasetwill be employed to reexamine the three majorissues of economic inequality and then acomparative analysis at the county level, citylevel and provincial level will be conducted tostudy the scale nature of economic inequality.On the other hand, the spatial data exploratoryanalysis as well as the geospatial analysis providesa new methodological framework to study thespatial effects ofecor/omic development. Threemajor research issues regarding to the temporaltrend, global and local spatial pattern and themulti-scalar mechanisms of regional inequalityhave been reexamined at three different spatialscales using the geospatial analysis.
