Income advantages of communist party members before and During the transformation process
In this study contradictory hypotheses are tested about the changing income advantages of Communist Party (CP) members derived from the Elite Circulation Thesis and the Elite Reproduction Thesis, using cross-sectional datasets from before and during the transformation process. CP members are matched with non-CP members on several important income determinants such as human capital, occupational class, market capital, age, gender, and marital stat…
Market transition or path dependency
Losers in Market Transition
The market transition debate is almost primarily focused on the 'winners' and on what happens to the formerly privileged during the market transformation process in post-Communist societies. This study emphasizes the impact of the market transformation process on the income of those who have few resources and are eligible for social benefits. Are these people the 'real' losers of the market transformation process in post-Communist societies? OLS …
Log-Linear Models in Comparative Research
Major research questions in the field of social stratification and mobility deal with similarities and differences in the patterns of social mobility in space and time. Answers are typically given by means of regression or log-linear models. Kelley (1990) argues for the superiority of the former in detecting differences in bivariate correlations between two populations, and characterizes log-linear modelling of social mobility tables for contextu…
Why does unemployment come in couples? An analysis of (un)employment and (non)employment homogamy tables for Canada, the Netherlands and the United States in the 1980s
In this paper we first raise the factual question of whether wives of unemployed husbands have a higher chance of unemployment than wives of employed husbands. Data for Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and the USA in the first half of the 1980s indicate that this indeed is the case. We then seek to explain this finding. According to one explanation, (un)employment homogamy is a by-product of educational homogamy combined with a relation at the …
