Abstract
The problem of an efficient allocation of scarce resources has been studied quite extensively in economics. One of the basic and often unsolved questions in theoretical analyses, however, is the ‘efficiency-equity’ dilemma. This dilemma implies that an optimal use of resources does not necessarily guarantee a social equity. The existence of significant structural welfare discrepancies indicates that this dilemma is also hard to solve in reality. These discrepancies are also reflected in spatial inequalities.
