Latine political realignment and differential turnout: Reassessing the 2024 U.S. presidential election
Analyses of the 2024 U.S. presidential election have emphasized an apparent shift in Latine voter support toward the Republican candidate, often interpreted as evidence of partisan realignment. In this paper, political realignment refers to a durable shift in partisan attachments, vote choices, or coalition patterns that alters the relationship between social groups and political parties across elections. Because a single election cannot establis…
What about immigration? The closed-population assumption in research on intergenerational income mobility
Research on intergenerational income mobility is highly informative and increasingly popular. A neglected aspect of these studies, however, is their implicit target population. Studies of income mobility are typically biased toward the representation of third-and-higher-generation persons. We refer to this practice as the closed-population assumption. First-generation, second-generation, and undocumented immigrants are less likely to be included …
Digital Migration Systems: An Integrated Framework for Theory, Measurement, and Policy
International migration research is entering a phase in which digitalization reshapes how migration processes are measured, modeled, and governed. At the same time, recent scholarship emphasizes the need to further develop migration theory so that it reflects contemporary migration dynamics and evolving data environments. This article proposes a global framework for “digital migration systems” that integrates classic migration theories with digit…
Toward theory consolidation: Stratification, organizational, and political-legal effects on greenhouse gas emissions
The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between dimensions of the social structure and greenhouse gas emissions in U.S. fossil fueled electrical power plants. While environmental scholars have made important contributions to understanding society-environmental relations, theoretical growth and therefore the capacity to affect environmental policy is hampered by the lack of integration among different middle range perspectiv…
Open-Population Inference: An Investigation of the Underrepresentation of the Second Generation in Research on Intergenerational Income Mobility
Studies about intergenerational income mobility are increasingly popular across the social sciences. These studies require individuals’ own incomes and their parents’ incomes to be observed prospectively across decades. Because this longitudinal observation is less difficult among third-and-higher generation persons than among 1.5- and second-generation persons (particularly undocumented 1.5-generation immigrants), studies of intergenerational in…
The Socioeconomic Attainments of Second-Generation Nigerian and Other Black Americans: Evidence from the Current Population Survey, 2009 to 2019
Second-generation black Americans have been inadequately studied in prior quantitative research. The authors seek to ameliorate this research gap by using the Current Population Survey to investigate education and wages among second-generation black Americans with a focus on Nigerian Americans. The latter group has been identified in some qualitative studies as having particularly notable socioeconomic attainments. The results indicate that the e…

Este artigo visa investigar a estrutura invisível de segregação da Região Metropolitana de Goiânia (RMG), a partir das inter-relações entre processos de produção do espaço urbano, princípios de planejamento e dinâmicas populacionais. Essas inter-relações são fundamentais para compreender a estruturação de desigualdades socioeconômicas nas áreas metropolitanas. Realizou-se uma análise do processo de formação da estrutura de segregação na região, a…
A Meta-Analysis of the Association between Income Inequality and Intergenerational Mobility
We provide an overview of associations between income inequality and intergenerational mobility in the United States, Canada, and eight European countries. We analyze whether this correlation is observed across and within countries over time. We investigate Great Gatsby curves and perform metaregression analyses based on several papers on this topic. Results suggest that countries with high levels of inequality tend to have lower levels of mobili…
Challenges to the integration of Syrian refugees
In this study, we provide an overview of the situation of Syrian refugees and other non-citizens living in host countries. We explored the cases of several countries: Turkey, which is one of the main destinations for refugees, flees the Syrian crisis; Germany and the United Kingdom, which are high-income countries where the public sentiment about refugees has changed over time; Greece and Italy, nations that share a close border with countries ex…

O objetivo é discutir os principais fatores a influenciar no incremento do provimento de razões por postagens nessas…

A política de segurança pública no Brasil: Uma Análise Dos Gastos Estaduais (1999-2010)
Este artigo analisa os gastos estaduais em segurança pública no período de 1999 a 2010, observando principalmente suas relações com as perspectivas ideológicas dos partidos eleitos para o Poder Executivo (governador). Testou-se, sobretudo, a hipótese de que o gasto com a política de segurança pública seria maior em estados governados por partidos de direita, uma vez que parte da literatura nacional aponta para a existência de maior preocupação de…
The Growth of Protestantism in Brazil and Its Impact on Male Earnings, 1970-2000
Protestantism has expanded rapidly in Brazil in recent decades. The question we tackle in this paper is whether Protestantism has had a positive influence on male earnings in this setting, either through its influence on health and productivity, by way of social networks or employer favor and reduced discrimination, or through other mechanisms. We tackle the problem of the selectivity of religious conversion and affiliation using microdata from t…
Deliberação online em consultas públicas? O caso da assembleia legislativa de Minas Gerais

Effects of the Age-Education Structure of Female Workers on Male Earnings in Brazil: Female Labor Force Participation and Male Earnings in Brazil
The main concern of this study is the impact that an increase in female participation within the labor force has on the earnings of males in Brazil. Previous research considered these transitions for male workers, but did not include female workers when estimating various effects on earnings. The 1970, 1980, 1991, and 2000 Brazilian Demographic Censuses were used for this analysis. Results suggest a significant negative impact on male earnings in…
Age, education, and earnings in the course of Brazilian development: Does composition matter
BACKGROUND: The impacts of shifts in the age distribution of the working-age population have been studied in relation to the effect of the baby boom generation on the earnings of different cohorts in the U.S. However, this topic has received little attention in the context of the countries of Asia and Latin America, which are now experiencing substantial shifts in their age-education distributions. OBJECTIVE: In this analysis, we estimate the imp…

Government or Opposition? The Determinants of Legislative Support for Governors in Brazil
This article analyzes the microfoundations of support for governors in Brazil based on a decision model in which deputies attempt to reduce their electoral risks. This model considers the effects of the individual backgrounds of legislators, party strength, and the dynamics of political competition in states. We used ordinary least square regression models to estimate the chances of a legislator to adopt an oppositional stance. The results confir…

Para avaliar o efeito do seguro-desemprego sobre o mercado de trabalho brasileiro, foram estimados modelos de regressão logística. A variável dependente …

The Decomposition of Economic Outcomes as a Result of Changes in Brazil’s Male Age–Education Structure
Long Term Influences of Age-Education Transition on the Brazilian Labour Market
The objective of this study is to estimate the long term mean earnings of the male Brazilian population, taking into account the ageing process of the population and the increase in educational attainment. Using census data, household sample surveys, as well as population and education projections, estimates indicate that an ageing population and an increase in education will have a 2 percent impact on the annual growth of an average income in Br…
