Beyond ethnic penalties in occupational attainment
Although native–immigrant gaps in tangible labor market outcomes such as wages have been widely studied, people's experiences at work are also crucial for their wellbeing. This article considers two generic sources of native–immigrant differentials in desirable individual workplace experiences, especially job autonomy. Following the occupational segregation literature, the first is that foreign-borns and natives are recruited to do different type…
Industry comparative advantage and support for redistribution
A fundamental insight of various trade theories is that trade does not have a universally negative effect on different business activities in different countries. Rather, trade’s impact varies concomitantly with the specific country and activity considered. This empirical note expands prior work linking trade to redistribution preferences by using sectoral comparative advantage to incorporate the notion that trade may hurt the prospects of a spec…
Automatability of Work and Preferences for Redistribution
Although the importance of technological change for increasing prosperity is undisputed and economists typically deem it unlikely that labour‐saving technology causes long‐term employment or income losses, people’s anxiety about automation and its distributive consequences can be an important shaper of economic and social policies. This paper considers the political economy of automation, proposing that individuals in occupations more at risk of …
Ethnic switching
Ethnic divisions are prominent in many countries and associated with various societal ills, ranging from discrimination to violence and intra-state conflict. Commonly seen as exogenous, individuals' ethnicity is not necessarily fixed or unmalleable, however. We first use individual-level panel data for Indonesia, the U.S. and India, to document the prevalence of generic, undirected intra-individual ethnicity change. Second, we focus on potential …
Are Scores on H ofstede's Dimensions of National Culture Stable over Time? A Cohort Analysis
H ofstede's framework, which is based on survey data collected in the late 1960s and early 1970s, dominates quantitative culture research in international strategic management. However, as countries develop economically, modernization theory predicts shifts in cultural values, which likely affect countries' scores on H ofstede's work‐related values dimensions, in turn raising doubt about the continued relevance of this framework for global strate…
Individualist-Collectivist Culture and Trust Radius
We apply a multilevel approach to examine empirically the nexus between individualist and collectivist culture on the one hand and people's radius of trust on the other. People's trust level (i.e., the intensity with which people trust other people) has been extensively studied. Increasingly, however, researchers are seeing a need to move beyond trust level and study trust radius (i.e., the width of the circle of people among whom a certain trust…
Trust Radius versus Trust Level
In their October 2011 ASR article, "How General Is Trust in 'Most People'? Solving the Radius of Trust Problem," Delhey, Newton, and Welzel pioneer the measurement of trust radius, defined as the width of the circle of people among whom a certain trust level exists. One key finding of their study is that trust radius correlates so strongly with out-group trust level that the two are essentially identical constructs; this clashes with standard the…
Why Muslims like democracy yet have so little of it
This paper explains the observed combination of relatively low levels of democracy and positive attitudes towards it in the Muslim world. It argues that this democracy paradox is understandable from the perspective of the principle of diminishing marginal utility: people value highly that of which they have little. This reasoning implies, however, that surveys like the World Values Surveys (WVS) elicit circumstance-driven marginal preferences rat…
