Does Inequality Blur Class Lines? Meritocratic Attitudes in Comparative Perspective
Scholars of inequality generally find that lower‐class individuals are more skeptical of meritocratic narratives that link economic success to individual work effort. However, past research has yielded inconclusive findings about how economic inequality affects meritocratic attitudes across different class groups. Theories of activated class conflict suggest that class matters more in high‐inequality contexts, while theories of relative power sug…
Overstatement of GDP growth in autocracies and the recent decline in global inequality
After rising for almost two centuries, global income inequality declined substantially after 2000. While past scholarship on global inequality has explored several causes for this recent decline in inequality, these studies take for granted the official GDP figures released by national governments. A parallel social science literature has documented the manipulation of official data to exaggerate economic performance in autocratic countries, but …
Global Value Chains and Union Decline in Rich Democracies
This article reassesses the classic thesis linking the globalization of production to union decline. Our argument is three-fold. First, prior literature does not appreciate how the exchange conditions characterizing global value chain (GVC) relations between leading firms in rich democracies and supplier firms in less developed countries (LDCs) can undermine unionization through trade. Second, the worldwide entrenchment of GVCs as an organization…

Reconsidering the Relationship Between Educational Hypogamy and Intimate Partner Violence
Past research suggests that the expansion of women's education reduces their exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) due to attitudinal changes and women's greater access to resources. The IPV literature also suggests that educational hypogamy (women marrying men with less education) increases IPV as women face backlash associated with gender-status inconsistencies. However, existing research has not effectively tested the link between educat…
The Decline of Global Inequality in the 21st Century
Global inequality declined substantially after 2000, reversing a two-century-long trend of rising inequality. While conventional explanations attribute this decline to industrialization in poor nations aided by economic globalization, this industrial transformation thesis has not been empirically scrutinized. The author uses counterfactual simulation exercises and sectoral macroeconomic data to examine the factors driving income growth in the poo…
Globalization of production, manufacturing employment, and income inequality in developing nations
The Rise of Sonless Families in Asia and North Africa
A neglected consequence of declining fertility is the likely rise of families with children of one sex—only sons or only daughters. Increases in such families present important demographic shifts that may weaken patrilineal family systems. We assess whether sons-only and daughters-only families rose in Asia and North Africa from the early 1990s to around 2015. Using 88 surveys and two censuses, we examine how the number and sex composition of chi…
World Society Integration and Gender Attitudes in Cross-National Context
Scholars of world society theory argue that integration in global society is important for shaping national outcomes related to gender relations, but past research has not examined how global society shapes individual gender attitudes. Additionally, past research on gender attitudes has not adequately considered contextual country-level determinants of these attitudes and has primarily focused on rich Western nations. In this article, I test hypo…
What is Really Happening with Global Inequality?
We use the latest available data from the World Income Inequality Database 3.4 and the Penn World Tables 9.0 to examine some of the core issues and concerns that have animated research on global inequality. We begin by reviewing the evidence on trends in within-country inequality, drawing out some of the implications of this for our thinking about inequality and economic development. We examine between-country inequality, computing updated estima…
Does Manufacturing Matter for Economic Growth in the Era of Globalization
This study adjudicates between two competing perspectives regarding the importance of manufacturing employment for economic growth with the onset of the most recent round of economic globalization. Established economic theories link shifts toward industrial activities to higher growth due to increases in aggregate productivity. While some scholars argue that the global restructuring of manufacturing in the era of globalization presents novel oppo…
The Decline of Arranged Marriage? Marital Change and Continuity in India
This article evaluates whether arranged marriage declined in India from 1970 to 2012. Specifically, the authors examine trends in spouse choice, the length of time spouses knew each other prior to marriage, intercaste marriage, and consanguineous marriage at the national level, as well as by region, urban residence, and religion/caste. During this period, women were increasingly active in choosing their own husbands, spouses meeting on their wedd…
