lower than 0.05; (2) infrastructure has a negative and significant effect on development inequality showing a t value of -3.558233 and a probability value of 0.0007 which is lower than 0.05; (3) Government spending has a positive and significant effect on development inequality showing a t value of 2.446338 and a probability value of 0.0173 which is lower than 0.05.
