SUMMARY:V. Joseph Hotz\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:“The Role of Parental Wealth & Income in Financing Children’s College Attendance & Its Consequences” \nAbstract: This paper examines the influence of parental wealth and income on their children’s college attendance and parents’ financial support for it and whether the latter affects the subsequent levels of indebtedness of parents and their children. We use data from the PSID\, especially data in the 2013 Rosters and Transfers Module on the incidence and amounts of parents’ financial support for their children’s college. To instrument for the potential endogeneity of parental housing wealth and income on these decisions\, we use changes in parents’ local housing and labor market conditions. We find that increases in both parents’ housing wealth and income increase the likelihood of their children attending college through the effect of parents’ financial support. This parental financing of college leads to parents carrying more debt\, but their children having no greater student loan debt after graduation. We also find that parental financing of their child’s college education significantly increases the probability that the child actually graduates from college. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Hotz

SUMMARY:Ethnic/Racial Characteristics and Inequality of Opportunity in Mexico
DESCRIPTION:More Information: http://www.international.ucla.edu/lai/event/13239#.WuoL1C7waUl \nHousehold surveys in Mexico include only limited information on race and ethnicity. The identification of racial and ethnic characteristics beyond membership to indigenous populations has been historically a difficult topic\, in part because it defies the “mestizo” ideology\, that is\, the image of Mexico as a racially integrated society through the mix of ancient indigenous and European populations. In 2016\, the National Institute of Statistics of Mexico (INEGI) executed a national survey on social mobility (MMSI). In this presentation\, I will talk about the process that led to the inclusion of racial/ethnic characteristics in this survey\, the media and academic debate that emerged after its publication\, and the main results of the survey\, which suggest that the effects of ethnic and racial characteristics on social inequality in Mexico extend well beyond the dichotomous indigenous/non-indigenous divide. \nPatricio Solís is Professor-Researcher at the Center for Sociological Studies of El Colegio de México (2004-present) and Editor in Chief of the journal Estudios Sociológicos (2016-present). He obtained a PhD in Sociology from the University of Texas at Austin (2002)\, and a MD in Population Studies from FLACSO-México (1995). His research interests are social stratification\, intergenerational social mobility\, and educational inequality. He was the principal academic advisor of the Intergenerational Social Mobility Module (MMSI) 2016\, a national survey carried out by the National Institute of Statistic and Geography of Mexico (INEGI). Two of his most recent publications are the books “Discriminación estructural y desigualdad social” (2017\, Consejo Nacional para Prevenir la Discriminación-CEPAL) and “Desigualdad\, movilidad social y curso de vida en la Ciudad de México” (2017\, El Colegio de México). \nLight refreshments will be served. RSVP to Jennifer Laínez. \nCost: Free & Open to the Public \nFor more information please contact\nJennifer Lainez\njlainez@international.ucla.edu \nDownload File: Solis_Flyer-55-uub.pdf \nSponsor(s): Center for Mexican Studies\, California Center for Population Research\, Race & Ethnicity Working Group

SUMMARY:Sarah Baird\, George Washington University
DESCRIPTION:“When the Money Runs Out: Do Cash Transfers Have Sustained Effects on Human Capital Accumulation?” \nAbstract: The five-year evaluation of a cash transfer program targeted to young women points to both the promise and limitations of cash transfers for persistent welfare gains. Conditional cash transfers produced sustained improvements in education and fertility for initially out-of-school females\, but caused no gains in other outcomes. Significant declines in HIV prevalence\, pregnancy and early marriage observed during the program among recipients of unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) evaporated quickly after the cessation of support. However\, children born to UCT beneficiaries during the program had significantly higher height-for-age z-scores at follow-up pointing to the potential importance of cash during critical periods. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Baird

SUMMARY:Susan Cassels\, UC Santa Barbara
DESCRIPTION:“Self-selection or enabling environments: What predicts the association between short-term mobility and sexual behavior?” \nAbstract: Short-term mobility is often associated with increased risk behavior. For example\, mobile individuals often have higher rates of sexual risk behavior compared to non-mobile individuals\, but the reasons why are not clear. Using monthly retrospective panel data from Ghana\, we test whether short-term mobility is associated with differences in total and unprotected sex acts\, and whether the association is due to enabling\, selection\, or influential reasons. In other words\, do mobile individuals express higher levels of risk due to an environment that enables that risk? Alternatively\, mobile individuals may be selected on some trait that predicts less aversion to risk. Men who were mobile in a given month had more sex acts compared to non-mobile men. Regardless of short-term mobility in a given month\, both men and women who were mobile in future months had more sex acts compared to individuals not mobile in future months. Our findings support the hypothesis that both men and women who are mobile are positively selected on sexual risk behavior. The enabling hypothesis\, that the act of being mobile enables sexual risk behavior\, was only supported for men. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Cassels

SUMMARY:Bruce Western\, Harvard University and Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:“Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison” \nAbstract: This talk will address my new book\, Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison. The book  tells the stories of the men and women I met through the Boston Reentry Study\, a series of interviews my research team and I conducted with people leaving prison for neighborhoods around Boston. We were trying to understand what happens when people return to a community\, and the challenges faced by them and their families. How did they look for work and housing? How did they manage their addictions or mental illness\, and why did some return to incarceration? In trying to answer these questions\, I hoped to bear witness to the lives held captive in America’s experiment with mass incarceration. The research showed that imprisonment is followed by deep poverty\, in which unemployment is widespread and survival is assisted only by government programs and family support. While earlier studies have focused on the stigma of a criminal record\, the men and women of Boston also struggled greatly with human frailty — mental illness\, addiction\, and physical disability — that threatened success after incarceration and impaired the effectiveness of programs. They had experienced serious violence\, often as perpetrators\, but just as frequently as victims and witnesses\, and often since early childhood. Under these conditions\, freedom after prison was not a status granted by release\, but something attained gradually. Becoming free was a process of social integration where one had to find one’s place with kin and community. \nMore on Prof. Western \n*Co-sponsored with the California Policy Lab

SUMMARY:Workshop: Bayesian Concepts for Data Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Michael Tzen \nContent:\nThis 1 hour workshop will provide a sampling of introductory concepts for bayesian analysis. We will use Bayes Rule (and its implications) to think about data analysis. When used as a framework to model phenomenon\, the analyst gets to work with 4 useful distributions: the prior\, posterior\, prior predictive\, & posterior predictive. We will predict what clothing size 2Chainz wears. We’ll also look at the Gompertz Rule from demography. In both examples\, the bayesian framework allows us to clearly express the estimand\, information from data\, information from prior knowledge\, and the estimator. \nThis workshop is the first of a two part series. The first workshop is conceptual while the second workshop will focus on software. The date for the second workshop is TBD. \nPlease RSVP Here: \nhttps://goo.gl/forms/CF4wuaobfqpug9Js1 \nslides

SUMMARY:Emmanuel Saez\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:“Inequality around the World: Evidence and Implications” \nAbstract: The lecture will present new evidence on global inequality and growth since 1980 using the World and Wealth Income Database. We combine data across countries in a homogeneous way to analyze world inequality. Global inequality has increased since 1980 in spite of fast growth in large emerging countries. We plot the curve of cumulated growth from 1980 to 2016 for each percentile of the global distribution of income per adult. This curve has an elephant shape as growth rates have been particularly high around the median (due to growth in China and India)\, growth rates have been low for the middle classes of advanced economies\, and growth rates have been explosive for the global top income earners. We estimate the future evolution of global inequality between now and 2050 combining projected macro growth rates and within country inequality evolution based on past trends. \nPodcast Here \nMore on Prof. Saez \n*Co-sponsored with the Department of Economics and Anderson School of Management and Public Policy and Applied Social Science Seminar (PPASS)

SUMMARY:CEGA-EASST Scholars Visit from East Africa
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 16\,  UCLA is hosting three CEGA-EASST scholars from East Africa. EASST invites East African researchers to apply for a 4-month fellowship at UC Berkeley to build skills in rigorous social science research and impact evaluation-these are the fellows who won this fellowship.  Each scholar will present on the following topics from 12:00-1:30PM in Public Affairs building room 4240. Lunch will be served.  They will be visiting all day so let us know if you would like to meet with any of them individually. Hope you can join us. Register Here\n  \n\nSamuel Muhula: Monitoring\, Evaluation and Research Manager at Amref Health Africa\, from Kenya \n“Social Dynamics and HIV Treatment Retention: Can Non-monetary Incentives and Facility-Based Psychosocial Support Improve Patients’ Retention in the Early Stages of HIV Care?”\nSuboptimal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment retention has profound impacts on morbidity and mortality among HIV positive participants. Monetary incentives and psychosocial support have been shown to be effective in various aspects of HIV control and may improve retention of participants in the early stages of HIV continuum of care. This two-armed randomized control trial evaluates the effectiveness of social dynamics involving non-monetary incentives and facility-based psychosocial support for HIV treatment on retention in the first six months of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group will receive standard care and the treatment which includes non-monetary incentives and participants enrolled into psychosocial support groups. The study will be implemented in Kibera informal settlement in Nairobi\, Kenya.\n  \n\nDanish Us Salam: Senior Research Associate at BRAC Uganda\, from Pakistan \n“Play & Learn – Using Intramural Sports to tackle Health and Educational Outcomes in Sierra Leone”\nPolitical and economic pressures on education systems to improve standardized test scores have had the unintended consequence of reducing or eliminating physical education curricula and thus students’ opportunities for physical activity. Extensive scientific evidence demonstrates that regular physical activity promotes growth and development in youth and has multiple benefits for physical\, mental and cognitive health whereas the lack of it can be detrimental to optimizing child health and development. I propose an experiment to test whether introducing a sport’s curriculum in under-resourced schools can drive health and educational outcomes among primary and secondary school students. More specifically\, I’m interested in the impact of supervised sports participation and school-sport performance-linked cash benefits in curbing teacher absenteeism\, teacher effort and improving student health and educational status across gender\, class level and socio-economic status.\n  \n\nPatrick Okello: Research Fellow at BRAC Uganda\, from Uganda \n“The Unemployment Problem and the Informal Economy: Can Evaluative Conditioning increase Labor Market Engagement?”\nYouth unemployment presents a major challenge in Uganda and is estimated to be as high as 64%. Only 30% of the labor force is engaged in the formal sector as it cannot absorb the large numbers entering the labor market annually. The informal sector\, however\, contributes considerably to the national GDP. There is anecdotical evidence that the reluctance to engage in the informal sector is attitudinal rather than structural\, partly as a result of asymmetrical information flows between the informal sector and job seekers. Therefore\, job seekers delay employment in expectation of a higher reservation wage attainable from a job in the formal sector. By exposing different groups to stimuli to reshape their negative opinions about self-employment\, we query whether this could be a cost-effective way to promote labor force participation rates.

SUMMARY:David Card\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:“The Health Effects of Cesarean Delivery for Low-Risk First Births” \nAbstract: Cesarean delivery for low-risk pregnancies is generally associated with worse health outcomes for infants and mothers. The interpretation of this correlation\, however\, is confounded by potential selectivity in the choice of birth mode. We use birth records from California\, merged with hospital and emergency department (ED) visits for infants and mothers in the year after birth\, to study the casual health effects of cesarean delivery for low-risk first births. Building on McClellan\, McNeil\, and Newhouse (1994)\, we use the relative distance from a mother’s home to hospitals with high and low c-section rates as an instrument for c-section.  We show that relative distance is a strong predictor of c-section but is orthogonal to many observed risk factors\, including birth weight and indicators of prenatal care.  Our IV estimates imply that cesarean delivery causes a relatively large increase in ED visits of the infant\, mainly due to acute respiratory conditions. We find no significant effects on mothers’ hospitalizations or ED use after birth\, or on subsequent fertility\, but we find a ripple effect on second birth outcomes arising from the high likelihood of repeat c-section. Offsetting these morbidity effects\, we find that delivery at a high c-section hospital leads to a significant reduction in infant mortality\, driven by lower death rates for newborns with high rates of pre-determined risk factors. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Card

SUMMARY:Jake Bowers\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Statistics and the Center for Social Statistics presents:\nRules of Engagement in Evidence-Informed Policy: Practices and Norms of Statistical Science in Government\n\nCollaboration between statistical scientists (data scientists\, behavioral and social scientists\, statisticians) and policy makers promises to improve government and the lives of the public. And the data and design challenges arising from governments offer academics new chances to improve our understanding of both extant methods and behavioral and social science theory. However\, the practices that ensure the integrity of statistical work in the academy — such as transparent sharing of data and code — do not translate neatly or directly into work with governmental data and for policy ends. This paper proposes a set of practices and norms that academics and practitioners can agree on before launching a partnership so that science can advance and the public can be protected while policy can be improved. This work is at an early stage. The aim is a checklist or statement of principles or memo of understanding that can be a template for the wide variety of ways that statistical scientists collaborate with governmental actors. \n\nSpeaker:\nJake Bowers\, Associate Professor at University of Illinois and Fellow of the Office of Evaluation Sciences

SUMMARY:Fernando Riosmena\, University of Colorado
DESCRIPTION:“A re-appraisal of thinking on and the empirical evaluation of migration theories” \nAbstract: Over the last quarter Century\, there has been considerable efforts to systematize knowledge on and empirically test the drivers of population mobility around a set of eight theories that either explain the initiation or continuation of international labor migration flows. In this presentation\, I provide a reflection aimed at furthering theoretical development and empirical testing of these theories. I do so by: (1) providing more specific guidance on how the different theories’ overlapping scales of influence interrelate more specifically than examined in prior work; (2) arguing for a more complete formulation of some of these theories to better explain contemporary immigration flows; and (3) discussing whether/how these theories can help bridge the understanding of the “drivers” of internal vs. international migration\, and of labor vs. other kinds of mobility\, including some forms of forced displacement. Throughout\, I also discuss how the quantitative testing of these theories has fallen into pitfalls of both thinking measurement\, which have likely led to a misattribution of the relative importance of some theories\, suggesting some refinements on the empirical validation of and the more general use of these theories in guiding empirical analysis going forward. \nAccess Podcast Here \nCo-sponsored with the Center for the Study of International Migration and the Center for Mexican Studies \nMore on Prof. Riosmena

SUMMARY:Yu Xie\, Princeton
DESCRIPTION:“Heterogeneous Causal Effects: A Propensity Score Approach “ \nAbstract: Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in social science.  Individuals differ not only in background characteristics\, but also in how they respond to a particular treatment. In this presentation\, Yu Xie argues that a useful approach to studying heterogeneous causal effects is through the use of the propensity score. He demonstrates the use of the propensity score approach in three scenarios: when ignorability is true\, when treatment is randomly assigned\, and when ignorability is not true but there are valid instrumental variables. \n  \nMore on Prof. Xie

SUMMARY:Joscha Legewie\, Yale University
DESCRIPTION:“Policing and the Educational Performance of Minority Youth” \nAbstract: How does the expansion of police presence in poor urban communities affect educational outcomes? Exploiting a quasi-experimental design from New York City\, we present causal evidence of the impact of aggressive\, zero-tolerance policing on the educational performance of minority youth. Under Operation Impact\, the New York Police Department (NYPD) saturated high crime areas with additional police officers with the mission to engage in aggressive order maintenance policing. We used administrative data from about 680\,000 adolescents aged 10 to 14 and exploited quasi-random variation in the relative timing of police surges and the date of standardized exams among children in the same neighborhood. Exposure to police surges significantly reduced test scores for African-American boys. The size of the effect increases with age but there is no discernible effect for African-American girls and Hispanics. Aggressive policing can thus lower the educational performance of African-American youth and perpetuate the racial achievement gap. \nMore on Prof. Legewie

SUMMARY:Randall Kuhn\, UC Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:“A Large-Scale Survey of International Migrants from Rural Bangladesh: Longitudinal Evidence on Migration Costs\, Earnings and Health” \nAbstract: Popular attention has focused on the harsh conditions facing overseas guest workers from countries such as Bangladesh to the states of the Persian Gulf\, with the assumption of negative health consequences. In contrast\, the global empirical literature on migrant health finds generally positive health outcomes for migrants relative to those left-behind\, due in large part to self-selection. Yet most such studies match separate datasets from sending and destination country rather than using a binational panel survey. Few focus on guest workers or migrants to non-OECD destinations. The Matlab Health and Socioeconomic Survey (MHSS) is a binational panel survey that follows a representative sample of a rural area of Bangladesh from 1996-7 to 2012-4. Between survey rounds\, one quarter of young adult males moved outside the country (most to the Persian Gulf)\, with one-third migrating internally. All out-migrants were followed\, including festival and phone interviews with overseas migrants. MHSS2 achieved a 92% reinterview rate\, including 87% of overseas migrants. This paper provides preliminary assessment of data quality for phone and festival interviews\, and measures the effects of migrant status (international\, internal)\, return migrant and country of destination on livelihoods\, physical health and mental health. Regression estimates account for the potential confounding effects of current and past socioeconomic characteristics of the migrant\, his parents\, family and community using data back to 1974. Propensity score estimates account for the effects of self-selection into migration\, while bounding exercises address the potential effects of differential inter-survey mortality. \nAccess Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Kuhn  \n

SUMMARY:Per Block\, ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich)
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Department of Statistics and the Center for Social Statistics presents:\nModelling Mobility Tables as Weighted Networks\nContemporary research on occupational mobility\, i.e. how people move between jobs\, tends to view mobility as being mostly determined by individual and occupational characteristics. These studies focus on people’s sex\, ethnicity\, age\, education or class origin and how they get access to jobs of different wages\, working conditions\, desirability\, skill profiles and job security. Consequently\, observations in occupational mobility tables are understood as independent of one another\, which allows the use of a variety of well-developed statistical models. As opposed to these “classical” approaches focussed on individual and occupational characteristics\, I am interested in modelling and understanding endogenously emerging patterns in occupational mobility tables. These emergent patterns arise from the social embedding of occupational choices\, when occupational transitions of different individuals influence each other. To analyse these emergent patterns\, I conceptualise a disaggregated mobility table as a network in which occupations are the nodes and connections are made of individuals transitioning between occupations.\n\n\nIn this paper\, I present a statistical model to analyse these weighted mobility networks. The approach to modelling mobility as an interdependent system is inspired by the exponential random graph model (ERGM); however\, some differences arise from ties being weighted as well as from specific constraints of mobility tables. The model is applied to data on intra-generational mobility to analyse the interdependent transitions of men and women through the labour market\, as well as to understanding the extent to which clustering in mobility can be modelled by exogenously defined social classes or through endogenous structures.\n  \nPer Block\, ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich)\nsite

DESCRIPTION:“Intergenerational Relationships among Latino Immigrant Families in Spain: Conflict and Emotional Intimacy” \n*Co-sponsored with The Center for the Study of International Migration \nAbstract: Relationships with parents have been identified as a major factor in shaping adolescents’ well-being and cognitive development. Compared to adolescents in native families\, immigrant children face multiple stressors associated with international migration that may cause the relationship with their parents to be more conflictive or emotionally distant. In this paper\, we compare the levels of mother-child conflict and emotional intimacy among Latino immigrant and Spanish native families living in Spain. Our analysis shows that Latino adolescents do not describe the relationship with their mothers as more conflictive than natives do. However\, they report more emotional distance with their mothers than native adolescents. This differential with natives cannot be fully attributed to migration-related factors like physical separation from parents due to staggered family migration\, to the lower life satisfaction of Latino mothers’ in their new destination or to an acculturation gap between mother and child. However\, the fact that immigrant mothers spend less time doing activities with their children\, probably due to their harder working conditions\, explains part of the differential in emotional intimacy with native families. Finally\, our analyses clearly establish an equally negative relationship between conflict and emotional intimacy for both native and Latino immigrant families. \n

SUMMARY:Cynthia Feliciano\, UC Irvine
DESCRIPTION:“How Multiracial Identities and Racial Classification Shape Latinos’ Dating Preferences“ \nAbstract:Understanding how life experiences vary by different dimensions of race may help clarify the growing Latino population’s place in the U.S. racial structure. This study examines how self-identifying with more than one racial group and racial classification relate to racial dating choices among Latinos. Analyses of data from online dating profiles reveal divergent patterns in stated racial preferences among Latinos depending upon whether and how they also identify with other racial groups. Latinos who identify as White express racial preferences that are more similar to Whites than to monoracial Latinos\, while the preferences of Black-identified Latinos are more similar to Blacks\, consistent with Whitening and Black exceptionalism theories. However\, regardless of racial self-identity\, Latino online daters vary in their exclusion of Whites depending upon how they are racially classified by others. These findings suggest that Latinos’ racial preferences are influenced by the existing racial structure and that Latinos contribute to maintaining the racial hierarchy through their dating choices. In addition\, the findings suggest multiple assimilation trajectories within this diverse population. \n*Co-Sponsored with the Center for the Study of International Migration \nMore on Prof. Feliciano

SUMMARY:Rob Warren\, University of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:“When Should Researchers Use Inferential Statistics When Analyzing Data on Full Populations?“ \nAbstract: Many researchers uncritically use inferential statistical procedures (e.g.\, hypothesis tests) when analyzing complete population data—a situation in which inference may seem unnecessary. We begin by reviewing and analyzing the most common rationales for employing inferential procedures when analyzing full population data. Two common rationales—having to do with handling missing data and generalizing results to other times and/or places—either lack merit or amount to analyzing sample (not population) data.  Whether it is appropriate to use inferential procedures depends on whether researchers are analyzing sample or population data and on whether they seek to make causal or descriptive claims. When doing descriptive research\, the distinction between sample and population data is paramount: Inferential statistics should only be used to analyze sample data (to account for sampling variability) and never to analyze population data. When doing causal research\, the distinction between sample data and population data is unimportant: Inferential procedures can and should always be used to distinguish (for example) robust associations from those that may have come about by chance alone. Crucially\, using inferential procedures to analyze population data to make descriptive claims can lead to incorrect substantive conclusions—especially when population sizes and/or effect sizes are small. \n*Co-sponsored with the Center for Social Statistics \nMore on Prof. Warren \nAccess Podcast here
