Migrant Status and Consumer Financial Fraud in China: A Two-Stage Approach Using a Representative Household Survey
Chinese migrants face numerous socioeconomic disadvantages. Little is understood about their vulnerability to consumer financial fraud, which can impede their integration into urban China and hamper the national priority of continued urbanization. This study utilizes nationally representative data from 2015 China Household Finance Survey to investigate migrants’ risk factors for consumer financial fraud across two stages: fraud exposure and victi…
The economic disparity between Hispanic and non-Hispanic White households: An analysis of middle-class achievement
We utilize data from the 2010-2019 Consumer Expenditure Surveys to examine middle-class achievement of English-speaking and non-English-speaking Hispanic households compared to non-Hispanic white households in the United States. Using an innovative expenditure-based middle-class measure, our findings show that non-English-speaking Hispanics lag English-speaking Hispanics, and English-speaking Hispanics lag whites, in middle-class attainment. We a…
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Consumer Financial Fraud in China
Associations between obesity and neighborhood socioeconomic status: Variations by gender and family income status
Neighborhood SES had stronger and more consistent associations with obesity and BMI for women than men, and for higher-income women than lower-income women
Neighborhood Racial Diversity and Metabolic Syndrome: 2003–2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Built environment and active commuting: Rural-urban differences in the U.S
The purpose of this research was to investigate rural-urban differences in participation rates in three modes of active commuting (AC) and their built environmental correlates. The 2010 Census supplemented with other datasets were used to analyze AC rates in percent of workers age 16+ walking, biking, or taking public transportation to work in 70,172 Census tracts, including 12,844 rural and 57,328 urban. Random-intercept factional logit regressi…
Walkable neighborhoods and obesity: Evaluating effects with a propensity score approach
Results demonstrate that residential selection bias inherent in cross-sectional analysis slightly attenuates the true association between neighborhood walkability and obesity. Results lend support to the growing body of research suggesting that more walkable neighborhoods have residents with a lower prevalence of obesity. Absent propensity score controls, the causal relationship between environment and obesity would be underestimated by 6%. Our a…

Association of individual and community factors with C-reactive protein and 25-hydroxyvitamin D: Evidence from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)
Many individual and community/neighborhood factors may contribute to inflammation and vitamin D deficiency leading to the development of chronic diseases. This study examined the associations of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels with individual and community/neighborhood (tract-level or county-level) factors using a nationally representative sample from 2001-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surv…

Sociodemographic and Environmental Correlates of Active Commuting in Rural America
PURPOSE: This research investigated participation rates in 3 modes of active commuting (AC) and their sociodemographic and physical environmental correlates in rural America. METHODS: The 2000 Census supplemented with other data sets were used to analyze AC rates in percentage of workers walking, biking, and taking public transportation to work in 14,209 nonmetropolitan rural tracts identified by RUCA codes, including 4,067 small rural and 10,142…

Ethnic-immigrant Disparities in Total and Abdominal Obesity in the US
Complex interactions of sex by race-ethnicity and nativity exist for obesity prevalence
Walking or Dancing: Patterns of Physical Activity by Cross-Sectional Age Among U.S. Women
Total PA declines with age but significant decline does not occur until ages 55 to 64. Major decline in leisure PA participation starts earlier at ages 35 to 44. While age-related declining patterns differ for different activities, the top five most popular leisure activities are similar for all age groups

Level of Income and its Distribution as Determinants of Korean Expenditure Patterns
Even though the permanent income and relative income hypotheses have been utilized in past research to explain consumer behavior, no previous attempt has been made to integrate them into one model in explaining household expenditure behavior. In this article, the hypotheses are synthesized into a single model. The model was empirically tested using data from the 1996 Korean National Survey of Family Income and Expenditures. The results indicate t…
A Comparison of Saving Motives of Urban Chinese and American Workers
This article compares saving motives of urban Chinese and American workers. A framework based on Maslow's human needs theory with the consideration of economic and cultural factors was used to develop hypotheses. The results of logistic regressions and simulations suggest that Chinese are more likely than Americans to report four out of six saving motives: saving for daily expenses, emergencies, children, and investment, whereas Americans are mor…
Linking Consumer Debt and Consumer Expenditures: Do Borrowers Spend Money Differently
This study uses data from 5,174 households in the 1994–1995 Consumer Expenditure Surveys to investigate differences in expenditure patterns between households who borrow money and households who do not borrow money. Findings show that, holding total expenditure constant, compared with otherwise similar nonborrowers, borrowers spend less money on necessities such as shelter, food at home, and utilities, but more money on some luxury commodities th…

Expenditure Patterns of Asian Americans: Evidence From the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey, 1980–1992
This article applies a linear approximation of the Almost Ideal Demand System with a set of demographic variables to study the differences in expenditure patterns between Asian American households and households in three other ethnic/racial groups: Black, Hispanic, and White. Findings show that even after controllingfor other economic and demographic factors, compared with each of the three other ethnic/racial groups, Asian American households ha…

Ethnic Differences in Household Expenditure Patterns
Using 13 years of Consumer Expenditure Survey data with price information from the Consumer Price Index and the American Chamber of Commerce Cost of Living Index five household expenditure patterns are identified: shelter‐dominated, food‐and‐utilities‐dominated, health‐care‐dominated, transportation‐dominated, and service‐dominated. Compared to non‐Hispanic White households, Asian American households are more likely to have shelter‐dominated, but…
