Educational Expansion Regimes and Wealth Inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa
Between 1990 and 2019, primary school enrollment in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) surged from 62 million to 187 million students. Despite this growth, SSA remains one of the most unequal continents, challenging the notion that educational expansion reduces wealth inequality. This paper investigates the correlation between educational expansion and household wealth inequality in SSA by conceptualizing educational expansion as distinct regimes with vary…

Data Collection as Disruption
Research disrupts the social world, often by making respondents aware that they are being observed or by instigating reflection upon particular aspects of life via the very act of asking questions. Building on insights from the first Hawthorne studies, reflexive ethnographers, and methodologists concerned with panel conditioning, we draw on six years of research within a community in southern Malawi to introduce a conceptual framework for theoriz…
Immigration and social capital in a Korean-American women’s online community

The central argument of this article is that this “MissyUSA” community creates…

The Quest to Understand Self-employment in American Metropolitan Areas
The mechanisms shaping a shift in intrametropolitan self-employment remain poorly understood. In response, this study aims to examine shifts in both central-city and suburban self-employment by integrating the changing forces of intrametropolitan economy and population with their economic interdependence within an entire metropolitan area. Using a change-score model, data collected over two time-periods (1980—90 and 1990—2000) are pooled. The ana…
Economic Incentive, Embeddedness, and Social Support
Much of the past research on rotating credit associations (RCAs) in the U.S. Korean community has been conducted in the context of Korean entrepreneurs' success in small businesses. By contrast, little has been known about the significance of RCAs in the lives of Korean immigrant workers. Based on a sample of Korean female workers at Korean-owned nail salons in the New York–New Jersey area, the first aim of this study is to address whether Korean…
Social disorganizations and crime rates in U.S. central cities
Little attention has been paid to the simultaneous impacts of urban economic change, in particular the effects of industrial restructuring from manufacturing to service industries in central cities and the suburbanization of employment, on both central-city social disorganizations and crime rates in central cities. This study first assumes that urban economic decline aggravates central-city social disorganizations (family disruption, and populati…
