Excessive white male privilege biases the measurement of intersectional wage discrimination
We study how overlapping identities shape wage gaps, focusing on gender and race in the United States. The extant theoretical and empirical literature typically interprets intersectionality as intersectional discrimination : multiply marginalised groups (e.g., Black women) suffer a distinct wage penalty over and above the additive combination of gender- and race-based wage gaps. We show that this standard empirical operationalisation is fragile b…
Social segregation, misperceptions, and emergent cyclical choice patterns
Consumption Emulation and Demand Regimes
Personal income distributions robustly follow a two-class structure, with an exponential bulk of labour income accruing to the lower 95 - 99 % population share and an upper Pareto tail of the 1 - 5% richest, where capital income is concentrated. The implications of this regularity for macroeconomic outcomes, especially aggregate consumption, are not yet fully understood, though. We introduce this two-class structure into a Post-Keynesian consumpt…
Perception and privilege
Inequality perceptions differ along racial and gendered lines. To explain these disparities, we propose an agent-based model of localised perceptions of the gender and racial wage gap in networks. We show that the combination of homophilic graph formation and estimation based on locally limited knowledge can replicate both the underestimation of the gender or racial wage gap that empirical studies find and the well-documented fact that the underp…
A network-based explanation of inequality perceptions
Mapping and impact assessment of phenomenon-oriented research fields
In this article, we provide a suggestion for new impact metrics taking the example of migration research as a phenomenon-oriented research field. Therewith, research merit is made comparable and is calculated irrespective of discipline. We show how the field of migration studies evolved, apply our new metrics and give insight into impact factors, numbers of citations of articles, and authors, as well as journals. Further, we present a field-relat…
On the Fate of Protests
This chapter studies individual and network conditions for the emergence of large social protests in an agent-based model. We use two recent examples from Iran and Germany to inform the modeling process. In our agent-based model, people, who are interconnected in networks, interact and exchange their concerns on a finite number of topics. They may start to protest either because of their concern or because the fraction of protesters in their soci…
