In an observational study looking at the inclusive or exclusionary effects of infrastructure development, @Stock2021 analyses the 'gender inclusive' development of a solar park in India which specifically aims to work towards micro-scale equality through regional uplifting.

The project included a training and temporary employment to local unskilled/semi-skilled labour.

It finds that the development instead impacted equality negatively, creating socio-economic exclusion and disproportionately negatively affected women of lower castes.

While acquiring basic additional skills, none of the women participating in training remained connected to the operators of the solar park and none were hired.

While acquiring basic additional skills, none of the women participating in training remained connected to the operators of the solar park and none were hired.

An insignificant amount of women from local villages were working at the solar park, of which most belonged to the dominant caste, and the redistributive potential was stymied through capture by village female elites.

The author suggests this is an example of institutional design neglecting individual agency and structural power relations, especially intersectional inequalities between gender and caste.

The study is limited in explanatory power through its observational design, not being able to make causal inferences.

Minimum wage contributed 16.6% of the effect to overall Gini reduction between the regions while cash transfers accounted for 9.6% of the effect.

The authors argue that this highlights the way even non-spatial policies can have a positive (or, with worse targeting or selection, negative) influence on spatial inequalities,

as transfers occurring predominantly to poorer regions and minimum wages having larger impacts in those regions created quasi-regional effects without being explicitly addressed in the policies.

Highlighted by these studies, one issue of spatial inequality especially is that in many cases policies are crafted that are targeted without any spatial component, intended to function nationally.

These non-spatial policies will, however, carry effects on inequalities that are created or exacerbated by spatial inequalities themselves.

Comparing four financing schemes when looking at the effects on rural households, it finds that they are generally worse off when the development is deficit-financed or paid through tariff revenues.
