Spatial inequality is an important concern for academics, policymakers, and governments. However, we do not fully understand it. Based on the theories of agglomeration economies and neighborhood effects, this dissertation aims to better understand spatial inequality and its effects on human outcomes. In particular, this dissertation examines firm, racial, and health inequality in the United States (US), highlighting the roles of scale and neighborhoods. First, this dissertation theorizes and examines the multiscale effects of different types of agglomeration economies, namely, specialization, related variety, unrelated variety, and urbanization economies, on tech firm births in Salt Lake County, Utah, US, to explain spatial inequality of tech firm agglomeration and suburbanization. It finds that specialization and related variety positively operate at all scales including neighborhood scale, while urbanization economies only negatively work at city-wide scale. Unrelated variety does not affect tech firm births at all scales. Second, this dissertation investigates the mechanisms of the effects of urban sprawl on racial inequality in intergenerational mobility (IM). Compact areas have higher rates of racial inequality in IM than do sprawling areas. The direct effect, which is partially attributed to higher racial disparities in social capital in more compact counties, is statistically significant. For the indirect impacts, racial segregation has the largest mediating effects on racial inequality in IM, followed by economic connectedness and racial bias. Third, with a focus on spatial effects, this dissertation further investigates the effects of neighborhood IM on spatial inequality in population health. Neighborhood IM is positively associated with population health status at the neighborhood scale, and the relationship is moderated by spatial interaction and heterogeneity; that is, the magnitude of this relationship is larger when advantageous neighborhood characteristics are smaller, disadvantageous neighborhood characteristics are larger, and spatially lagged neighborhood IM is smaller, and vice versa. To sum up, this dissertation extends agglomeration economies and neighborhood effects to deepen the understanding of spatial inequality. The findings deliver new and essential insights for developing policies to mitigate spatial inequality. It also advances research in agglomeration economies, urban sprawl, neighborhood effects, and spatial inequality.
