In recent decades, disparities within and across regions have grown distinctively in the US. These disparities might affect the economic development and quality of life of regions and their inhabitants. Therefore, the present dissertation studies regional disparities' causes, drivers, and consequences in three empirical papers. The first paper analyzes the relationship between income and within-city income inequality in US metropolitan areas. The second one assesses whether local reliance on the oil and gas sector contributes to income inequality. The third one evaluates whether the expansion of Medicaid, a public health insurance scheme, induced internal migration within the US.:1 - Introduction
