The objectives of this research are to: i) determine the relative importance of spatial vs. household-level factors in explaining variations in wealth and poverty, both across regions and communities and among households within communities; ii) identify the spatial characteristics of the chronically poorest, consistently wealthiest and transient households; iii) determine the importance of ‘compounding effects’ on the likelihood of chronic poverty; and iv) ultimately assess the evidence of spatial poverty traps.
