Like with like” or “do like?” Modeling peer effects in the classroom
Objective The authors discuss the role of peer networks in shaping the decision to enroll at university. Using panel data from Italy, they apply innovative statistical methods to study a sample of students as they complete high school and decide whether or not to attend university. Methods The authors use simultaneous autoregressive (SAR) models to analyze a four‐wave panel database of Italian students. They explore the role of endogenous, exogen…
Electoral support for the 5 Star Movement in Milan: An ecological analysis of social and spatial factors
After the 2018 general election, several scholars remarked on the failure of the 5 Star Movement (5SM) to increase its vote in Milan. While the role of demographic and socioeconomic factors has been highlighted, little attention has been devoted to spatial dynamics. The authors analyze the greater city of Milan using a new set of spatial units that capture the characteristics of the local populations which voted at specific polling stations. They…
Direct and indirect influences of socio-economic position on the wellbeing of older adults: A Structural Equation Model using data from the first wave of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing
The authors use Structural Equation Modelling techniques to analyse the determinants of wellbeing amongst older adults using data from the first wave of the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), a rich source of data on people aged over 50 and living in private households. The analysis uses a two-group linear statistical model to explore the influence of socio-economic position on the wellbeing of men and women, with Full Information Maximu…
Female employment and the economic crisis
One of the characteristics of the Italian peninsula is a sharp North-South gradient on many economic and labour market variables. This gradient is particularly marked in relation to female employment, making Italy a particularly useful ‘laboratory’ for studying changes in gender roles. Esping-Andersen's description of the decline of the ‘male breadwinner’ model and the search for a ‘new equilibrium’ in gender roles is suggestive, but the assumpti…
Social Polarisation, the Labour Market and Economic Restructuring in Europe: An Urban Perspective
It is frequently argued that changes in the occupational structure and labour markets of European cities have the potential to undermine social cohesion. The term ‘social polarisation’ has been widely employed to characterise this effect, either in a broadly descriptive manner or in line with specific hypotheses. In the first part of this article, alternative definitions are reviewed and the results of empirical research on social polarisation ar…
Measurement of Social Disadvantage and its Spatial Articulation in the Republic of Ireland
Pratschke J. and Haase T. (2007) Measurement of social disadvantage and its spatial articulation in the Republic of Ireland, Regional Studies 41, 719–734. This paper contributes to policy research by developing a reliable aggregate measure of social need in small areas and by describing how this index can be used to evaluate public interventions in disadvantaged areas. Spatially targeted initiatives to combat disadvantage have been implemented in…
Evaluating Springboard: Impact of a family support programme in Ireland
The article reports results from an evaluation of Springboard, a family support programme introduced in Ireland during 1998. The evaluation is based on a non‐experimental design involving a pre‐post comparison of 319 children and 191 parents who participated in the programme. The two main outcomes reported here are children's psychological well‐being (measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire ‐ SDQ), and the parent‐child relationsh…
