Economic inequality is a long-term concern of social sciences, and is closely related to the distribution of economic activities among different regions. In this seminar, Dr. Siwei Cheng will present large-scale mobility data collected via mobile devices and the American Community Survey to create comprehensive measures of spatial segregation of activities across geographic areas in the United States. The new measures also take into account residents’ daily activities, helping to extend conventional measures of spatial segregation.
