  • Migration Status Gradients in Immigrant Poverty

    Open AccessCody Spence, James D Bachmeier et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research2025References: 31

    Research on the stratifying effects of migration status has increased sharply in the last two decades, although efforts have been hampered by the near absence of representative data that include detailed migration status measures. Researchers have developed various statistical and logical imputation methods that have produced widely varying estimates. In this article, we introduce a new indicator of migration status constructed from two federal s…

  • Does ethnoracial context diversity predict implicit associations of sexual orientation? Evidence from linked Census Bureau and Implicit Association Test data

    Open AccessMehrgol Tiv, Cody SpenceARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2024Cited by: 1References: 11

    We examined whether exposure to context diversity in one domain relates to mental associations in another social domain. County-level metrics of racial diversity and segregation computed from restricted-use U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey data were linked to a geolocated measure of sexual orientation implicit bias from over 825,000 respondents across the United States (2015–2021). Multilevel models revealed that living in more racial…

  • Sick Days

    Open AccessC E Altman, James D Bachmeier et al.ARTICLEInternational Migration Review2023Cited by: 4References: 56

    The self-reported number of workdays missed due to injury or illness, or sick days, is a reliable measure of health among working-aged adults.

Current understandings of the association between migration status and sick days are limited for two reasons. First, in the U…

  • The Association Between Legal Status and Poverty Among Immigrants

    Open AccessCody Spence, James D Bachmeier et al.ARTICLEDemography2020Cited by: 9References: 14

    Using nationally representative survey data, this research note examines the association between immigrant legal status and poverty in the United States. Our objective is to test whether estimates of this association vary depending on the method used to infer legal status in survey data, focusing on two approaches in particular: (1) inferring legal status using a logical imputation method that ignores the existence of legal-status survey question…
