The Determinants of Home Price Appreciation Among Community Reinvestment Homeowners
Homeownership is considered an effective wealth creation mechanism for low-income households. This study examines the appreciation of homes purchased with community reinvestment loans in a national pilot in the USA called the Community Advantage Program (CAP). Homes purchased between 1998 and 2002 are found to have appreciated at a median annual rate of 5.4% between the time of purchase and spring 2003. This is less than the national house price …

Welsh Bynames on the Allegheny
The Welsh have long suffered from an inadequate number of names. This problem was solved in different ways in different communities. In the Welsh settlement in and around Ebensburg, PA, an elaborate, nuanced system of bynames was created, which served to differentiate similarly-named or identically-named individuals. The system which developed here is apparently unique and has not been previously reported. Characteristics of the bynames and their…
Spatial Processes and the Duality of Church and Faith: A Simmelian Perspective on U.S. Denominational Growth, 1900–1930
With information on all U.S. denominations of nontrivial sizes, this paper examines various spatial and temporal prcesses underlying religious expansion between 1900 and 1930. Simmel's provocative and complex essay, “Soziologie des Raumes” (1903) poses the central paradox that religion is both faith—cultural constellations of beliefs—and church—social associations that are spatially situated. This distinction helps to clarify differences among de…
Organizing the Boys of Summer: The Evolution of U.S. Minor-League Baseball, 1883-1990
The authors use life-history data on analyze the organizational evolution of U.S. minor-league baseball. The article introduces the concept of "structural mutualism" to account for the structural effects of required league membership on team foundings and deaths. This term refers to cooperative behavior that occurs among the teams within a league, that benefits each team, and that league membership promotes. Net of conventional density-dependence…
The FC1 Rule of Identification for Confirmatory Factor Analysis: A General Sufficient Condition
Establishing the identification of a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model continues to be one of the most difficult tasks in structural equation modeling. Proving the identification of such models algebraically is both error prone and time consuming. Unfortunately, very few general rules of identification exist for CFA models and they are limited to simple models that do not allow for correlated errors. This article presents a new, highly gen…
