The sciences of language and communication tend to study these signals individually. However\, natural human communication uses all these signals together simultaneously\, and in complex social systems of various sizes. It is an open puzzle to uncover how this multimodal communication is structured in time and organized at different scales. Such a puzzle includes analysis of two-person interactions. It also involves an understanding of much larger systems\, such as communication over social media at an unprecedentedly massive scale. \nCollaborators and I have explored communication across both of these scales\, and I will describe examples in the domain of conflict. For example\, we’ve studied conflict communication in two-person interactions using video analysis of body and voice dynamics. At the broader scale\, we have also used large-scale social media behavior (Twitter) during a massively shared experience of conflict\, the 2012 Presidential Debates. These projects reveal the importance of dynamics. In two-person conflict\, for example\, signal dynamics (e.g.\, body\, voice) during interaction can reveal the quality of that interaction. In addition\, collective behavior on Twitter can be predicted even by simple linear models using debate dynamics between Obama and Romney (e.g.\, one interrupting the other). \nThe collection\, quantification\, and modeling of multitemporal and multivariate datasets hold much promise for new kinds of interdisciplinary collaborations. I will end by discussing how they may guide new theoretical directions for pursuing the organization and temporal structure of multimodality in communication. \nUrl: http://statistics.ucla.edu/seminars/2016-03-31/2:30pm/314-royce-hall URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/rick-dale/ LOCATION:314 Royce Hall\, 340 Royce Dr\, los angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar,CSS Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160331 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160403 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20160328T163149Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160328T180450Z UID:10000535-1459382400-1459641599@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Population Association of America 2016 Annual Meeting Washington\, D.C.

We employ automated text analysis on tweets from Members of Congress to estimate their ideal points using Naive Bayes classification and Support Vector Machine classification. We extend these tools to estimate the proportion of partisan speech used in each legislator’s tweets. We demonstrate an association between these measurements\, existing ideal point measurements\, and district ideology. \nUrl: http://statistics.ucla.edu/seminars/2016-03-29/2:30pm/314-royce-hall URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/betsy-sinclair-washington-university-st-louis/ LOCATION:314 Royce Hall\, 340 Royce Dr\, los angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar,CSS Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160316T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160316T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20160224T180400Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T220433Z UID:10000525-1458129600-1458135000@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:CCPR 2016 PAA Practice Session DESCRIPTION:Please join us to hear our residents interesting research and give feedback for their upcoming PAA presentations. \nSchedule: \n\n12:00 – 12:20pm – Sung S.

Worldwide\, Bangladesh has the highest prevalence of IPV and very early child marriage\, before age 15. How the community prevalence of very early child marriage influences a woman’s risk of IPV is unknown. Using panel data (2013–2014) from 3\,355 women first married 4–12 years prior in 77 Bangladeshi villages\, we tested the protective effect of a woman’s later first marriage (age 18 or older)\, the adverse effect of a higher village prevalence of very early child marriage\, and whether any protective effect of a woman’s later first marriage was diminished or reversed where very early child marriage was more prevalent\, suggesting that later marriage in such communities evokes violent backlash. Almost half (44.5%) of women reported incident physical IPV\, and most (78.9%) had married before age 18. At the village-level\, the incidence of physical IPV ranged from 11.4% to 75.0%\, and the mean age at first marriage ranged from 14.8 to 18.0 years. The mean village-level prevalence of very early child marriage was 20.3% and ranged from 3.9% to 51.9%. In main-effects models\, marrying at 18 or later protected against physical IPV\, and more prevalent very early child marriage (village % married before age 15) was a risk factor. The interaction of individual later marriage and village very early child marriage prevalence was positive; thus\, the likely protective effect of marrying later was negated in villages where very early child marriage was prevalent. Collectively reducing very early child marriage may be needed to protect women from IPV. \n  \nStudy 2: Men’s perpetration of intimate partner violence (IPV) is common\, but its multilevel determinants are understudied. Using a probability sample of 570 married men 18–34 years in 50 urban and 62 rural communities in the Bangladesh survey of the 2011 UN Multi-Country Study of Men and Violence\, we tested for (a) a positive relationship of more equitable community gender norms among senior men (n=938; married\, 35-49 years) and (b) a negative relationship of a junior man’s greater exposure to childhood violence with his lifetime rate of physical IPV perpetration (n=570; married\, 18–34 years). We also tested whether more equitable community gender norms mitigated the rate of physical IPV perpetration associated with more childhood exposure to violence. Among younger married men\, 50% reportedly ever perpetrated physical IPV\, the mean lifetime number of physical IPV types perpetrated was 1.1 (SD 1.3) out of 5.0 listed. A majority (64%) reported childhood exposure to violence. In multilevel Poisson models\, a man with more childhood exposure to violence had a higher log rate (Est. 0.31\, SE 0.04\, p<.001) and a man living amidst the most equitable gender norms had a lower log rate (Est. -0.52\, SE 0.19\, p<.01) of perpetrating physical IPV; however\, no significant cross-level interaction was observed. Interventions that address the trauma of childhood violence and promote more equitable community gender norms may be needed to mitigate IPV perpetration by younger men. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n9:30 am – 10:00 am: Prof. Hiram Beltran-Sanchez \n11:00 am – 11:30 am: Prof. Patrick Heuveline \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Sara Johnsen \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Corrina Moucheraud \n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Prof. Anne Pebley \n4:00 pm – 4:30 pm: Prof. Manisha Shah \n  URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/kathryn-yount-emory-university/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/young.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160224T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160224T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20151020T191449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T221530Z UID:10000506-1456315200-1456320600@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Seth Spielman\, University of Colorado\, Boulder DESCRIPTION:“Measuring neighborhoods in the new data economy.” \nAbstract:  The data economy in the United States has changed dramatically in the past 5-10 years.  Naively one might argue that this new data economy holds particular promise for academics\, because revolutions in science are often preceded by revolutions in measurement.   But for social scientists who study cities in the United States these changes are mixed.  The new data economy is complex complicates the study of neighborhoods.  In this talk I’ll describe one such complication – the replacement of the long form of the decennial census with the American Community Survey in 2010.  The ACS produces estimates for thousands of variables at a variety of geographic scales.  However\, estimates from the ACS are terribly imprecise\, for many policy relevant variables ACS estimates are almost unusable.  In this talk I’ll describe the quality of the ACS and use its shortcomings to motivate a discussion of changing the way we measure neighborhoods.  Rather than just talk about alternatives I’ll present results from two novel computational methods that leverage new ways of thinking about the measurement of neighborhoods.  One of these methods can be used to process existing public domain ACS estimates to dramatically reduce the margin of error. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Dylan Connor\, Matthew Miller\, Sung Park\, Rosanna Smart\, Chad Stecher\, John Sullivan \n2:30 – 3:00 pm: Prof. Siwei Cheng URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/seth-spielman-university-of-colorado-boulder/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/spielman-120x120.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160217T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160217T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20160125T163646Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T221610Z UID:10000513-1455710400-1455715800@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Randall Akee\, UCLA DESCRIPTION:“Race Matters: Income Inequality and Mobility from 2000 to 2013” \nView Podcast Here \nAbstract: Using unique linked Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Census Bureau data matched at the individual level\, we examine the differences in levels and trends for income inequality across racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Our data span 2000 to 2013\, a period including the Great Recession\, and will thus inform us on how financial crises affect inequality for important sub-groups of Americans. Previous research has focused on the increasing concentration of income and assets in the top decile of tax filers; this analysis will provide information on the entire distribution of income by decile\, highlighting the circumstances of those at the lower end of the distribution as well. Because our data include both administrative and census data\, our research is the first to provide detailed income and wage inequality information for racial and ethnic groups. Finally\, we focus on short-run measures of mobility and document this measure over the decade and post-Great Recession era. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch \n  URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/randall-akee-ucla/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/faculty_randall.gif ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160210T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160210T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20151020T191354Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T221640Z UID:10000505-1455105600-1455111000@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:James Raymo\, University of Wisconsin\, Madison DESCRIPTION:“Precarious employment and fertility: Insights from Japan’s “Lost 20 Years”” \nAbstract: In this paper\, we examine relationships between precarious employment and fertility. We focus on Japan\, a country characterized by a prolonged economic downturn\, significant increases in both unemployment and non-standard employment\, a strong link between marriage and childbearing\, and pronounced gender differences in economic roles and opportunities. Analyses of retrospective employment\, marriage\, and fertility data for the period 1990-2007 indicate that changing employment circumstances for men are associated with lower levels of marriage while changes for women are associated with higher levels of marital fertility. These two offsetting relationships combine to limit the overall association between changes in employment circumstances and declining fertility. Results of counterfactual standardization analyses suggest that Japan’s total fertility rate (TFR) would have been slightly lower than observed if aggregate- and individual-level employment conditions had remained unchanged from the 1980s. We discuss the implications of these results in light of ongoing policy discussions about fertility promotion and academic debates about the changing nature of gender relations within the family. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n10:30 am – 11:00 am: Prof. Siwei Cheng \n11:00 am – 11:30 am: Prof. Robert Mare \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Jennie Brand \n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Prof. Patrick Heuveline \n3:30 pm – 4:00 pm: Prof. Judith Seltzer URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/james-raymo-university-of-wisconsin-madison/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/jimraymo.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160203T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160203T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20151020T191310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T221712Z UID:10000504-1454500800-1454506200@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Tom Valente\, University of Southern California DESCRIPTION:“Social Network Influences on and for Behavior Change” \nView Podcast Here \nAbstract: In this presentation\, Valente will show how social networks influence behaviors across a wide variety of applications.  Recent research on the diffusion of innovations will also be presented along with results from the study of the diffusion of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).  Models for how social networks can be used for program implementation and network interventions will also be detailed. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Paul Chandanabhumma\, Matthew Miller\, Sara Johnsen\, Chad Stecher\, Lena Riess\, Alina Arseniev-Koehler\, Subasri Narasimhan \n2:30pm – 3:00pm: Prof. Ka-Yuet Liu \n3:30pm – 4:00pm: Prof. Gabriel Rossman URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/tom-valente-university-of-southern-california/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/tvalente.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160127T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160127T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20151020T191215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T221837Z UID:10000503-1453896000-1453901400@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Christine Dehlendorf\, UC San Francisco DESCRIPTION:“Health Equity in Family Planning and Family Planning Care: Putting the Focus back on Women” \nView Podcast Here \nAbstract: Differences in contraceptive use and unintended pregnancy by race/ethnicity are well described. Interpretation of these differences\, and how they relate to the desire to achieve health equity\, is complex due to the nature of reproduction\, including the personal\, social and historical context in which reproductive and contraceptive decisions are made. Lack of attention to these contextual factors has the potential to interfere with the ultimate goal of optimizing women’s reproductive health and to exacerbate health inequities. This talk will review data regarding women’s reproductive outcomes and how they vary by their sociodemographic characteristics\, and discuss conventional approaches in both public health efforts and clinical family planning care to thinking about and responding to these data. I will then make the case for a woman-centered approach that focuses on individual’s preferences and conceptualizations of reproductive health as the best strategy to meet women’s needs and promote health equity. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n10:00 – 10:30 am: Prof. Jessica Gipson \n10:30 am – 11:00 am: Mieke Eeckhaut \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch:Alexis Cooke\, Larissa Dooley URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/christine-dehlendorf-uc-san-francisco/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/PhotoHandler.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160120T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160120T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20151020T191115Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T222628Z UID:10000502-1453291200-1453296600@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Randall Kuhn\, University of Denver DESCRIPTION:“Thirty-Five Years Later: Long-Term Impacts of the Matlab Maternal and Child Health Program on Migration and Labor Market Outcomes” \nAbstract: Despite global proliferation of reproductive health and family planning programs\, little is known about their long‐term effects. This talk introduces a project that provides causal evidence on the impact of the Matlab Maternal and Child Health and Family Planning Program (MCH‐FP) in Bangladesh\, over thirty‐five years after it began. The Matlab Health and Socioeconomic Survey 2 (MHSS2) collected surveys and objective tests from a sample of 36\,000 participants\, including beneficiaries and their descendants\, with followup of ~90% of migrants living outside the study area or abroad. I introduce the larger study in the context of evaluating MCH/FP program impacts on migration and labor market success. To the extent that family planning reduced competition for resources\, the program may discourage migration among treated populations. However\, to the extent that child health services increased human capital\, treated individuals may be better positioned to migrate successfully. The results illustrate the importance of intensive migrant followup for reducing attrition bias. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu \n9:00 am – 9:30 am: Prof. Judith Seltzer \n10:00 am – 10:20 am: Prof. Manisha Shah \n10:30 am – 11:00 am: Prof. Siwei Cheng \n11:30 am  – 12:00 pm: Prof. Patrick Heuveline \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch:  Karra Greenberg\, Sung S.

The paper makes three arguments. First\, that denominators are essential in domains far beyond the quantitative disciplines that presently attend to them. In ethnography\, in practical politics\, in cultural studies\, in everyday decision-making\, we need to think much more about the pools of possible chances out of which emerge the events we observe. Second\, denominators in the social sciences are much more intently theoretical objects than their usual treatment suggests\, both in the sense that populations are not naturally bounded in the ways that many statistics imply\, and in the sense that people do not merely find themselves randomly in certain populations facing certain risks\, but rather participate in a variety of ways in their location. Finally\, I argue that a classical demographic way of thinking about the denominator—as exposure to risk—offers an elegant way of integrating contemporary theory about uncertainty\, agency\, and habitus into formal quantitative research. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n10:30 am – 11:00 am: Prof. Jessica Gipson \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Lei Feng\, Karra Greenberg\, Sara Johnsen\, Lena Riess\, John Sullivan\, Ka Yuet \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Patrick Heuveline \n  URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/jennifer-johnsks-uc-berkeley/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/jennifer-johnson-hanks.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160106T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160106T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20151020T190826Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T221128Z UID:10000501-1452081600-1452087000@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Emily Smith-Greenaway\, University of Southern California DESCRIPTION:“Death and Desirability: Retrospective Reporting of Unintended Pregnancy after a Child’s Death” \nAbstract: Social scientists have long debated how to best measure pregnancy intentions. The standard approach in domestic and international surveys is to use mothers’ retrospective reports of their intentions at the time of conception. Because women have already given birth at the time of this report\, their children’s health may influence their responses. Some fertility scholars have argued that mothers will be more likely to recall “lower quality”—that is\, unhealthy—children as unintended. What about children who are no longer alive? In contemporary sub-Saharan Africa\, where one in ten African children die before their fifth birthday\, this research aims to understand whether women are susceptible to recalling deceased children\, and the pregnancies from which they resulted\, in a more positive light. Leveraging Demographic and Health Survey data from 31 sub-Saharan African countries\, I will demonstrate how children’s health and vital status is associated with women’s retrospective reports of pregnancy intentions. The results challenge the reliability of standard measures of pregnancy intentions in high mortality settings\, and thus our current knowledge of the levels and consequences of unintended pregnancies in these contexts. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n10:00 am – 10:30 am: Prof. Jessica Gipson \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Subasri Narasimhan\, Sung Park\, Emily Treleaven \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Patrick Heuveline URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/emily-smith-greenaway-university-of-southern-california/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Emily_smith_greenaway-e1446855896519.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160106 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160109 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20160315T211201Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210422T021225Z UID:10000533-1452038400-1452297599@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:China Multigenerational Panel Datasets Workshop DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored with Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR)\, the workshop will feature the China Multigenerational Panel Dataset-Shuangcheng (CMGPD-SC)\, the release of which is nearing completing\, as well as the previously released China Multigenerational Panel Dataset-Liaoning (CMGPD-LN).

This paper extends current scholarship on economic inequality by invoking the life course perspective to study the intragenerational pattern of wage inequality\, focusing particularly on how its structure has changed across cohorts. Using over 40 years of national representative data from CPS and PSID\, I found that inequality increases over the life course for all cohorts born between 1941 and 1970. Further\, cross-cohort comparison reveals that the amount of intragenerational growth of inequality has increased from earlier to later cohorts\, suggesting that the labor market plays a more important role in generating inequality in recent years. Microlevel decomposition analysis suggests that the relative importance of the underlying mechanisms for intragenerational inequality has also shifted across cohorts\, with a growing amount of intragenerational growth of inequality attributable to education-based cumulative advantage and residual inequality. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/siwei-cheng-uc-los-angeles/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/1442271855-e1446855773779.png ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151118T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151118T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20150923T195219Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T222014Z UID:10000499-1447848000-1447853400@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Rodrigo Pinto\, UCLA DESCRIPTION:“Beyond LATE: Economic Choices and the Identification of Multiple Treatment Effects “ \nAbstract: “Monotonicity” refers to a condition in choice models with instrumental variables in which a local variation of an instrument shifts all agents toward or against a choice. This paper presents a useful framework to investigate the role of monotonicity in the identification of causal effects in multiple choice models with categorical instrumental variables.  I first examine a new monotonicity condition that applies to unordered choice models with multiple treatments.  Like its analogous property in the binary choice model\, I show that unordered monotonicity imply and is implied by additive separability in observables and unobservables in choice equations.  I show that unordered monotonicity may arise from preference properties of choice behavior. I then exemplify the use of preference properties to identify causal effects in choice models where monotonicity does not hold. I show that identification and equivalence results flow from simple properties of binary matrices. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/rodrigo-pinto-uc-los-angeles/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Photo_R-Pinto-e1455837609765.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151113T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151113T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20160315T210703Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220906T223445Z UID:10000531-1447416000-1447421400@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Reproducibility of Statistical Results DESCRIPTION:Presented By: \n\nMark S.

Immigrant youth can be expected to increasingly shape US trends in adolescent childbearing as their share of the youth population continues to grow. About one in four US children has foreign-born parents currently\, up from 6% in 1960; this share is projected to rise to one-third by 2050. In this study\, I use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) to examine how the risk of early childbearing varies by immigrant generation; to what extent generational variation reflects discrepancies in the timing of sexual onset (versus post onset factors); and what family\, neighborhood\, and individual-level social factors underlie generational differences. I will also describe a new data collection project called the mDiary Study of Adolescent Relationships\, which pairs a year-long diary study with an ongoing birth cohort study to increase understanding of the content and quality of teen partnerships over time\, and of the childhood precursors and health and developmental consequences of teen relationship behavior. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/rachel-goldberg-uc-irvine/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Rachel_Goldberg_11_4_15.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151028T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151028T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20150923T194911Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T222417Z UID:10000497-1446033600-1446039000@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Mirna Safi\, Sciences Po\, Paris DESCRIPTION:“Immigrant Spatial Desegregation Trends and Inequality Along Ethnoracial Lines in France” \n*Co-Sponsored with The Program on International Migration  \nAbstract: This article describes patterns of ethnoracial and socioeconomic neighborhood attainment among North African\, sub-Saharan African and European immigrants in France. We use the French Trajectories and Origins Survey\, containing rare assimilation variables (length of stay\, immigrant generation\, parental length of stay\, mixed ascendance\, socioeconomic status). Findings highlight the weak potency of these variables in accounting for spatial trajectories compared to the predominance of ethnoracial origin. Simultaneous equations models are used to show how ethnoracial and socioeconomic desegregation overlap\, delineating distinct patterns of neighborhood attainment across immigrant groups\, with intense spatial disadvantage among North Africans and sub- Saharan Africans. The conclusion discusses the implications of these findings for understanding the ethnoracial dimension of socio-spatial stratification in France. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar\n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/mirna-safi-sciences-po-paris/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151021T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151021T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20150924T165953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T222545Z UID:10000500-1445428800-1445434200@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Chad Hazlett\, UCLA DESCRIPTION:“Kernel balancing: a weighting approach for causal inference and sample adjustment” \nAbstract: When making causal inferences from observational data under the assumption of no unobserved confounders\, matching and weighting estimators are used to adjust the joint distribution of observed covariates for treated and control units to be the same. Similarly\, investigators often have data from an observed sample\, which they wish to adjust to make more similar to a target sample or known population. However\, existing weighting and matching approaches for both problems have important limitations: matches are generally not exact\, and standard weighting approaches ensure that the observed sample is similar to the target sample/population only on a finite set of pre-specified moments. I introduce kernel balancing\, first in the context of causal inference and then as a solution to the general sample-adjustment problem. The method works by taking a high-dimensional expansion of the observed covariates\, and choosing weights on the control group (or observed sample) such that it has equal means to the treated group (or target sample) on this high-order expansion of the covariates. By using kernels\, it is possible to choose an expansion such that all continuous functions of the covariates are linear in that expansion. This proves very desirable\, as the weighting then ensures that any unspecified but plausibly important continuous function of the covariates (such as a ratio of two variables) will automatically have the same means for the two groups as well. I provide empirical examples\, and show that this method also implies that a particular estimator of the entire multivariate density of covariates is the same for the two samples at every observed location in the covariate space. An R package implementing the procedure is available from the author. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/tba/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Chad_Hazlett_10_21_15.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151016T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151016T160000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20151106T233027Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210422T023944Z UID:10000427-1445004000-1445011200@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:So you want to be a researcher?

While censuses\, surveys\, and observational data have been used to measure migration\, estimates based on these data sources are constrained in their inability to detect unfolding migrations\, and lack temporal and demographic detail. In this study\, we present a novel approach for generating estimates of migration that can measure movements of particular demographic groups across country lines. \nSpecifically\, we model migration as a function of long-term moves across countries using aggregated Facebook data. We demonstrate that this methodological approach can be used to produce accurate measures of past and ongoing migrations – both short-term patterns and long-term changes in residence. Several case studies confirm the validity of our approach\, and highlight the tremendous potential of information obtained from online platforms to enable novel research on human migration events. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/aude-hofleitner-facebook/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar,CSS Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Aude_Hofleitner_10_15_15.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151014T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151014T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20150923T193953Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160512T221049Z UID:10000495-1444824000-1444829400@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:William Dow\, UC Berkeley DESCRIPTION:“Why does Costa Rica outperform the United States in life expectancy?  A tale of two inequality gradients” \nAbstract: Costa Rica is among the few low or middle income countries with high quality adult vital statistics mortality data. We link these mortality records with census data to create a Costa Rican National Longitudinal Mortality Study\, and compare adult mortality patterns to those in the United States. We find that mortality in the U.S. is 18% higher than in Costa Rica among adult men and 10% higher among middle-aged women\, despite the several times higher income and health expenditures of the U.S. The U.S.’s underperformance is strongly linked to its much steeper socioeconomic (SES) gradients in health. Although the highest SES quartile in the U.S. has better mortality than the highest quartile in Costa Rica\, U.S. mortality in its lowest quartile is markedly worse than in Costa Rica’s lowest quartile. Further examination of cause-specific mortality and risk factors suggest that these patterns are strongly related to behaviors leading to lung cancer and heart disease. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n9:00 am – 9:30 am: Prof. Hiram Beltran-Sanchez\n9:30 am – 10:00 am: Prof. Adriana Lleras-Muney\n10:30 am – 11:00 am: Prof. Anne Pebley\n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar\n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Jessica Gipson URL:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/event/william-dow-uc-berkeley-why-does-costa-rica-outperform-the-united-states-in-life-expectancy-a-tale-of-two-inequality-gradients/ LOCATION:CCPR Seminar Room\, 4240 Public Affairs Building\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States CATEGORIES:CCPR Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccpr.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/William_Dow_10_14_15.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="CCPR Seminars":MAILTO:seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151007T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20151007T133000 DTSTAMP:20260504T182418 CREATED:20150923T193449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150923T200440Z UID:10000494-1444219200-1444224600@ccpr.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Welcome and Introductions DESCRIPTION:Come and learn all about the California Center for Population Research!
