Using data from the 2008-19 IPUMS Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), we examined associations between insecure compensation and US adults' self-reported overall health as well as psyc…

Metropolitan Structural Development: The Territorial Imperative
Annexation has been an important factor in the growth of American cities. This continues to be the case in many southern and western cities. Thus, turf politics has figured prominently in the structural development of most metropolitan areas in the United States.
