...Francis C. Madigan; H. Bradley Wells Abstract There are generally three stages to the development of rules for matching vital events data from two sources covering the same population: (a) establishing a set of “true” matches and nonmatches; (b) determining the best tolerance limits for each single...

Tolerance is a comparative measure and is identified with the area or the bounded neighborhood. In order to find out what bounded neighborhoods might look like (i.e...

... segregation is con- strained (or encouraged) by the size of the black population and the limited acceptance by whites of living in heavily black neighborhoods, one must incorporate racial and ethnic diversity into the measurement and modeling of these condi- tions. Whites not only have strong preferences...

.... EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE Two expectations are tested on Tai- wanese data. Our treatment of tolerators above rests in part on the principle that, once a limiter resorts to induced abor- tion, she will do so a second time if need be. There should be relatively few live births following a first induced abortion...

Note that some members of each sex exceed this limit in each direction for their sex: the norms still have some more work to do. Now imagine that this society undergoes a gender...

... standard deviation. This inference, however, does not hold with 100 percent certainty. An additional source offluctu- ation, which is the probability that x percent of the population values fall within the limits specified by the confi- dence level, must be entered into the computation. A tolerance factor...

... = U v / CitUw. We assume that relative risk tolerance (the inverse of relative risk aversion) varies across individuals and ranges from zero to in¿ nity. Although we assume that everyone is risk averse, the limiting case is an individual who is neutral toward risk and would need no premium to accept...

These results serve further to explain the marked concentration of responses in the two-child category when respondents are asked about their fam- ily-size preferences. Two children are the lower limit for respondents-even if they are reacting to stimuli concerning...

Previous studies, however, show that mothers' atti- tudes probably have a stronger influence on their children's attitudes than do fathers' attitudes (Acock and Bengtson 1978; Bengtson 1975). Therefore measures of mothers' atti- tudes are probably most important to add...

A limitation of this study, of course, is its focus on a relatively small number (N = 44) of nonmetropolitan places in a single state (Texas) that may or may not be representative of patterns or trends in the rest of nonmetropolitan America, where most...
