  • Moving mountains

    Open AccessVictor Yifan Ye, C Becker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Regional Science2024

    Using a novel geospatial panel combined with data from the 2015 American Community Survey (ACS), we investigate the effect of topography—altitude and terrain unevenness—on income segregation at the neighborhood level. Specifically, we perform large‐scale counterfactual simulations by estimating household preferences for topography, altering the topographical profile of each city, and observing the resulting neighborhood sorting outcome. We find t…

  • Race and Subprime Lending Frequency

    Open AccessGlen Morgenstern, C BeckerARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2023Referencias: 3

    Using loan-level data, this analysis considers the intersection of race, subprime home loans, and the current vacancy crisis in St. Louis, Missouri. Borrowers in Black areas in the north of St. Louis City and St. Louis County received subprime home loans at higher frequencies during the subprime boom period of 2003–2007 than those in White areas, with differences in balloon loans especially stark. Specifically, borrowers in Black neighborhoods re…

  • Kayor and Baol

    C Becker, Victor Martin et al.CHAPTERForced Migration2022

    In recent years the appeal is frequently made in academic conferences for studies of the impact of the export slave trade on African societies to include detailed field work, made up of physical observations in slave catchment areas and oral evidence. This chapter aims to examine certain consequences of the slave trade in the Senegalese kingdoms of Kayor and Baol. Archive sources give us a rather unsatisfactory account of the extent and effects o…

  • Framing the Digital Silk Road's (De)Securitisation

    Open AccessChristiane Heidbrink, C BeckerARTICLEJournal of Current Chinese Affairs2022Referencias: 7

    China’s Digital Belt and Road (DBAR) is sending the offer of a technological upgrade around the world. Foreign perceptions of the DBAR pave the way to success through a cooperative attitude or to failure through resistance and confrontation. The United States of America (USA), in particular, plays a prominent role. The power rivalry between Washington and Beijing also affects foreign initiatives such as the DBAR. However, it remains underresearch…

  • Daughters-In-Law and Domestic Violence

    Mavzuna R Turaeva, Mavzuna Turaeva et al.ARTICLEFeminist Economics2022Citada por: 2Referencias: 10

    Patrilocal marriage – living in the husband’s natal household – affects Central Asian women and their choices in family planning, labor force participation, and human capital investment. While anthropological evidence suggests that elder household members play a key role in the lives of junior women, empirical studies are scarce. This study uses Tajikistan’s 2012 Demographic and Health Survey (TJDHS) to explore the link between domestic violence …

  • How marriages based on bride capture differ

    Open AccessSusan Steiner, C Becker et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2019Citada por: 2Referencias: 11

    A significant proportion of women in the Kyrgyz Republic marry via ala kachuu, generally translated as bride capture or kidnapping. Many regard this practice as harmless elopement or a tradition; others perceive it as a form of forced marriage

  • Chapitre 3. À propos de quelques programmes de recherches sur la santé, la population, la société

    Open AccessC BeckerCHAPTERNiakhar, mémoires et perspectives2018

    Cette contribution veut montrer par quelques exemples l’intérêt la vision du fondateur de Niakhar, pour qui la recherche sur la population et la santé, utilisant les méthodes démographiques et biomédicales, pouvait, et même devait, s’ouvrir pour concerner d’une manière plus globale la société rurale sereer, ainsi que d’autres sociétés (dans la zone d’étude “pluri-ethnique” de Paos-Koto). Cette perspective a considérablement élargi les thématiques…

  • Bride kidnapping in post-Soviet Eurasia

    C Werner, Christofer Edling et al.ARTICLECentral Asian Survey2018Citada por: 3Referencias: 16

    Throughout Eurasia, bride kidnapping continues to be a fairly common way to get married. The practice is becoming increasingly controversial. Some local actors argue the practice is a cultural tradition, while others question its acceptability, particularly when a woman is forced to marry against her will. Many scholars, journalists and non-governmental organization workers view non-consensual variations of bride kidnapping as a form of gender-ba…

  • Economic Crisis, Income Gaps, Uncertainty, and Inter-regional Migration Responses

    Galina An, C Becker et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2017

    There is ample empirical evidence that internal migration occurs in response to wage differentials; recently, evidence has emerged that international migration is deterred by rising destination uncertainty. However, to our knowledge, there has been no analysis of how internal migration responds to differing incentives during good times and bad. This paper provides insight into this issue using detailed regional economic and migration data for Kaz…

  • Forced Marriage and Birth Outcomes

    Open AccessC Becker, Charles M Becker et al.ARTICLEDemography2017Citada por: 4Referencias: 29

    We study the impact of marriages resulting from bride kidnapping on infant birth weight. Bride kidnapping—a form of forced marriage—implies that women are abducted by men and have little choice other than to marry their kidnappers. Given this lack of choice over the spouse, we expect adverse consequences for women in such marriages. Remarkable survey data from the Central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan enable exploration of differential birth outcome…

  • The (literally) steepest slope

    Victor Yifan Ye, C Becker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Economic Geography2016

    This paper presents an analysis of elevation gradient and temporal future-station effects in urban real estate markets. Using a novel dataset from the Hong Kong publicly constructed housing sector, we find enormous housing price effects caused by levels of terrain incline between apartments and subway stations. Ceteris paribus, two similar apartments with closest metro stations of the same walking distance may sell at a difference of up to 20% be…

    Open AccessAleksandr Andreev, C Becker et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2010Referencias: 2

    We provide three measures of age-standardized disability rates for each Russian region and show that most, though not all, of the regional patterns in disability prevalence disappear with standardization. Disability prevalence remains unusually high fo

  • Stable isotopes and archaeology in central Chile

    Open AccessRobert H Tykot, Fernanda Falabella et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2009Citada por: 20Referencias: 29

    This paper discusses the problems faced when making interpretations of human stable isotope values due to the various explanatory alternatives that arise when reading archaeological data. These interpretative issues are analysed and discussed using the isotopic results for approximately 100 human individuals from archaeological contexts spanning from 5000 BC to 1540 AD in central Chile, supported by data for more than 50 plant and animal samples …

  • W. Arthur Lewis in Retrospect

    Open AccessC Becker, Charles M Becker et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…2007Citada por: 2Referencias: 7

    This paper reviews several themes from the writings of W. Arthur Lewis, both the first black Nobel Laureate in Economics and the first from a developing country, and examines them from the perspective of two to five decades of hindsight. The paper emphasizes three main interrelated aspects; economic growth, economic dualism, and “the evolution of the economic order”—the forces that drive the prices of goods and relative incomes across countries. …

    C Becker, Erbolat N Musabek et al.ARTICLEEurasian Geography and Economics2003Citada por: 5Referencias: 1

    A team of population specialists from the United States and Kazakhstan uses heretofore unpublished data of the Kazakhstan Statistical Agency to assess gender and age differences in the propensity to migrate from Kazakhstan for the period 1991-2001. The interstate character of the population movements analyzed means that Slavic, German, and other non-Kazakh ethnic groups are disproportionately represented among the emigrant population, but the key…
