Exit, Voice, and Loyalty in the German Democratic Republic, 1970–1989
The paper exemplifies a contrastive research design for a comprehensive comparison of related middle-range theories. Six adaptations of Hirschman’s exit, voice, loyalty (EVL) model for authoritarian states are formalized using directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). From the DAGs, a set of 112 pivotal observable implications is derived. These implications are evaluated using new data from the German Democratic Republic (GDR), covering the period from 197…
Schafft Wissen Demokratie?
Das Hochschulrahmengesetz verpflichtet Hochschulen dazu, ihre Studierenden „zu verantwortlichem Handeln in einem freiheitlichen, demokratischen und sozialen Rechtsstaat“ zu befähigen. Vor dem Hintergrund erodierender demokratischer Normen gewinnt dieser Auftrag an Dringlichkeit. Das Buch betrachtet, was Hochschulen tun, um den Anforderungen des Gesetzgebers gerecht zu werden. Zudem werden Veränderungen der Studierenden während und durch das Studi…
The Mediating Role of Intergenerational Stratification in the Long Arm of Childhood Income
We use the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to investigate whether and how intergenerational income stratification mediates the long arm of childhood income for mature adult health. Using three different mediation techniques, we analyze prospective high-quality data on childhood income (ages 0–17) and six health outcomes (ages 40–67): self-rated health, psychological distress, heart attack, stroke, and life-threatening and non-life-threatening chro…
Business as Usual in the Face of the Populist Challenge? The AfD’s Entry Strategy and Mainstream Parties’ Responses to It
This paper examines the Alternative for Germany’s (AfD) entry strategy and subsequent party repositioning in the German political space from 2013 to 2021. Integrating the demand and supply side of politics, we employ the spatial theory of party competition and data from the German Longitudinal Election Study. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on predefined dimensions, we derive the dimensionality of political space empirically through compu…
Control variable selection in applied quantitative sociology
A review of all research papers published in the European Sociological Review in 2016 and 2017 (N = 118) shows that only a minority of papers clearly define the parameter of interest and provide sufficient reasoning for the selected control variables of the statistical analysis. Thus, the vast majority of papers does not reach minimal standards for the selection of control variables. Consequently, a majority of papers interpret biased coefficient…
The long term relationship between childhood Medicaid expansions and severe chronic conditions in adulthood
We test whether the expansions of children's Medicaid eligibility in the 1980s–1990s resulted in long‐term health benefits in terms of severe chronic conditions. Still relatively rare in the field, we use prospective individual‐level panel data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) along with the higher quality income measures from the Cross‐National Equivalent File (adjusting for taxes, transfers and household size). We observe severe c…
Welcher Zweck heiligt die Mittel? Bemerkungen zur Repräsentativitätsdebatte in der Meinungsforschung
Im Vergleich zu Umfragen an Wahrscheinlichkeitsstichproben bieten Umfragen an Access-Panels, die auf Nicht-Wahrscheinlichkeitsstichproben basieren, unbestreitbare wirtschaftliche Vorteile. Diese Vorteile gehen jedoch mit unvermeidbaren Qualitätseinbußen einher, die auch dann bestehen bleiben, wenn Erstere sehr niedrige Responseraten haben. Daher müssen die wirtschaftlichen Vorteile und die methodischen Einschränkungen gegeneinander abgewogen werd…

Is There a Rural Penalty in Language Acquisition? Evidence From Germany's Refugee Allocation Policy
Emerging evidence has highlighted the important role of local contexts for integration trajectories of asylum seekers and refugees. Germany's policy of randomly allocating asylum seekers across Germany may advantage some and disadvantage others in terms of opportunities for equal participation in society. This study explores the question whether asylum seekers that have been allocated to rural areas experience disadvantages in terms of language a…
The Long Arm of Prospective Childhood Income for Mature Adult Health in the United States
Pioneering scholarship links retrospective childhood conditions to mature adult health. We distinctively provide critical evidence with prospective state-of-the-art measures of parent income observed multiple times during childhood in the 1970s to 1990s. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we analyze six health outcomes (self-rated health, heart attack, stroke, life-threatening chronic conditions, non-life-threatening chronic conditions, an…
Educational Expansion, Social Class, and Choosing Latin as a Strategy of Distinction
In times of educational expansion, privileged families are looking for new strategies of distinction. Referring to Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of distinction, we argue that choosing Latin at school – a language that is no longer spoken and therefore has no direct value – is one of the strategies of privileged families to set themselves apart from less privileged families. Based on two surveys we conducted at German schools, the paper analyzes the re…
The Inheritance of Race Revisited
Vast racial inequalities continue to prevail across the United States and are closely linked to economic resources. One particularly prominent argument contends that childhood wealth accounts for black–white (BW) disadvantages in life chances. This article analyzes how much childhood wealth and childhood income mediate BW disadvantages in adult life chances with Panel Study of Income Dynamics and Cross-National Equivalent File data on children fr…

The Potsdam Grievance Statistics File. New data on quality of life and political participation for the German Democratic Republic 1970–1989
The newly collected “Potsdam Grievance Statistics File” (PGSF) holds data on the number and topics of grievances (“Eingaben”) that were addressed to local authorities of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) in the years 1970 to 1989. The PGSF allows quantitative analyses on topics such as participation, quality of life, and value change in the German Democratic Republic. This paper introduces the concepts of the data set and discusses the validit…

La reforma agraria de Lázaro Cárdenas en los Altos de Chiapas. Un relato en tzotzil de San Pedro Chenalhó
This is an oral account of the dismantling of haciendas in San Pedro Chenalhó, in the highlands of Chiapas, for the benefit of the local Tzotzil Indians. The narrator vividly describes the hard work and abuses the Indians formerly had suffered from their landlords and their ardent struggle during the thirties to recover their lands, in which he himself participated. They finally achieved their goal with the help of President Lázaro Cárdenas (1934…

Los dioses de los cerros entre los tzotziles en su contexto interétnico
Entre los dioses de los tzotziles hay un grupo que forma una etnia particular: los dioses de los cerros. Por su apariencia y vestimenta son todos ladinos. A pesar e esto son las deidades más importantes para la agricultura y cacería indígenas, puesto que guardan el alma de los principales cultivos, mandan la lluvia y son dueños de los animales cazados por su carne. Se ha investigado si estos dioses se han mezclado o no con otra etnia de deidades,…
The Authentic Subdivisions of Daytime and Night Among the Tzotzil Rejection of a Popular Model of the Universe
This paper examines Tzotzil concepts on day and night and how they are subdivided. In order to understand the indigenous cognitive system it is important to clarify where the sequence begins and to determine the periods and/or points within it, their lengths and how they are delimited from each other. If the phases are conceived of metaphorically, it is an additional goal of the investigation to show how the various metaphoric images are distribu…

New Developments in Sequence Analysis
Sequence analysis was originally invented by biologists with the aim of com-paring DNA sequences in order to find out to what extent two DNA strands are homologous to each other or, in other words, to determine the distance between them (Kruskal 1983). The established degree of similarity then allows for conclusions about a common ancestor of two DNA strands. The initial utilization of sequence analysis in sociology was made in the 1980s, with An…

Under What Circumstances Could Maximising Turnout Alter an Election Result
This article analyses the potential for an alteration in turnout changing an election result, after taking into account the offices at stake, the electoral system, prior turnout, the number of parties competing, the division of the prior vote and the gap between the leader and second‐place party. A review of electoral processes in 29 European countries plus the United States finds that even if an increase in turnout altered the distribution of th…

Myths of Paradise Lost in Pre-Hispanic Central Mexico [and Comments and Reply]
Reconstruction and comparative analysis of the Central Mexican myths that deal with the first phase of the creation of the world demonstrate that they all tell the same story. They attempt to explain how the world came to be what it is, the result of a mediation between two poles-the one eternal life in perfect harmony with the creators, the other life in darkness, alienation from the creators, and death. The passage from the first to the second …

Mushrooms, Drugs, and Potters
The function of archaeological mushroom stones has been subject to various speculations. Recently their explanation as ritual objects, associated with the ceremonial consumption of hallucinogenic mushrooms, seems on its way to general acceptance. The subsequent analysis refutes such an interpretation and reveals their real function as potters' molds

Eine empirische Untersuchung einer Individualisierungshypothese am Beispiel der Parteipräferenz von 1953–1992
Neben der Diskussion um die Bedeutung von Lebensstilen erfreut sich im Rahmen "der sozialwissenschaftlich informierten Zeitbetrachtung" (Armingeon 1994: 55) kaum ein Thema so großer Popularität wie die sogenannte "Individualisierungsdiskussion" (Beck und Beck-Gernsheim 1993). Ausgangspunkt dieser Diskussion ist bekanntlich die Idee der Auflösung kollektiver und gruppenspezifischer Orientierungsschemata. In der BRD wurde diese Diskussion vor allem…

Sequence Analysis with Stata
We describe a general strategy to analyze sequence data and introduce SQ-Ados, a bundle of Stata programs implementing the proposed strategy. The programs include several tools for describing and visualizing sequences as well as a Mata library to perform optimal matching using the Needleman–Wunsch algorithm. With these programs Stata becomes the first statistical package to offer a complete set of tools for sequence analysis.

Aparte del intercambio verbal en la vida diaria y oraciones cantadas a los dioses, existe otra forma principal de expresión verbal entre los tzotziles, y probablemente entre la mayoría de los pueblos mayas: los discursos ceremoniales. Con las oraciones tienen en común una forma estrcita poética, pero no son cantadas. Se pueden distinguir discursos ceremoniales privados y oficiales, los últimos son principalmente juramentos para instalar nuevas au…
