As it is expected, the east part of Turkey has higher income distortions, while Marmara </p> <p>and Black Sea regions have relatively lower income Gini coefficients. In this paper, we also computed </p> <p>education Gini at the provincial level from 2008 to 2013. Similar to the income Gini index, the </p> <p>education Gini coefficient is also higher in Eastern and South-eastern regions. Besides, the data show </p> <p>that the provinces that have more equal education distribution are generally located in the Marmara </p> <p>and Central Anatolia regions. In this study, we examine the impact of education inequality on income </p> <p>inequality by analysing provincial level panel data between 2008 and 2013. We have employed both </p> <p>static and dynamic panel data models and also controlled for the endogeneity problem. Econometric </p> <p>analysis provides evidence for a negative association between education Gini coefficient and income </p> <p>inequality. </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Marmara Üniversitesi}
