Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between urban slum populations and key economic indicators across districts in Karnataka, integrating behavioural economics insights into conventional regression analysis. Using district-level data on Gross District Domestic Product (GDDP), Per Capita Income (PCI), and slum populations, an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression model was estimated to examine the economic determinants of slum persistence. The model explains approximately 67.7% of the variation in slum populations (R² = 0.677) and reveals a statistically significant positive association between GDDP and slum population.
