... of race, income, education, housing market conditions, and spatial proximity. Among parents in the upper/upper-middle class, cognitive skills predict sorting on average public school test scores rather than neighborhood socioeconomic status. Overall, we reveal skill-based contextual sorting...

...Emily Rauscher Abstract Modernization theory predicts that rising education should increase assortative mating by education and decrease sorting by race. Recent research suggests that effects of educational expansion depend on contextual factors, such as economic development. Using log-linear...

... of health (broadly de ned) in relation to neighborhoods. Both PHDCN and L.A.FANS have been innovative in their approach to the collection of contextual information. For instance, PHDCN data include a community survey, systematic social observation, and links to administrative data of vari- ous sorts...

...Haley McAvay Abstract Building on emerging research into intergenerational contextual mobility, I use longitudinal data from France (1990–2008) to investigate the extent to which second-generation immigrants and the French majority continue to live in similar neighborhood environments during...

... income. Although these mechanisms have a great deal of face validity in accounting for the consequences of income segregation, there is a dearth of evidence about the extent to which the clustering of high- and low-income families creates inequalities in these potentially influential contextual...

The present study uses instrumental variables to improve the identification of social interaction effects on fertility. Using data from the System of social...

...Susan K. Lewis; Valerie K. Oppenheimer Abstract Whether local marriage market conditions shape marriage behavior is a central social demographic question. Most work on this subject, however, focuses on one type of market condition—sex ratios— and on a single outcome—marital timing or sorting. We...

Explanations have focused on actions and choices made by individuals, neglecting contextual factors such as economic and policy...

... longitudinal data, it is difficult to adjust for the neighborhood sorting process in which people are self-selected into certain neighborhoods with specific contextual characteristics. Furthermore, because all predictors were measured in 1880, residential changes that occurred afterward could result...

...Barrett A. Lee; R. S. Oropesa; James W. Kanan Abstract This paper extends the search for neighborhood contextual effects to residential mobility. We propose that neighborhood consists of subjective and objective domains, both of which are crosscut by substantive (social/physical) and temporal...

In this study, we contend that differences in exposure to environmental health hazards are a central pathway through which neighborhood poverty may harm cognitive development during the first years of life. The most...

To address this question, I use contingency tables and marital sorting parameters to conduct analyses by marriage cohort, subregion of SSA, and household location of residence. I contextualize my findings in light of the main theoretical perspectives...

Segregation is usually studied one dimension at a time, but these social differences are interrelated, and thus a multivariate approach is needed to understand their effects. We find that ethnicity is the main basis of local residential sorting, while occupational standing...

It might seem that in order to examine the effects of contextual differences in educational access, one should measure educational attainment using quantiles that identify where a woman with a given level of education fits within the educational distribution of her birth cohort—for example...
