SUMMARY:Raj Chetty\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:“The Relationship between Income and Life Expectancy: Local Area Variation in the United States\, 2001-2014” \nAbstract:  We examine inequality in life expectancy using 1.4 billion anonymous earnings and mortality records covering the U.S. population from 1999-2014. We present four main findings. First\, higher income is associated with greater longevity throughout the income distribution. The richest 1% of American men live 15 years longer than the poorest 1%\, while the richest 1% of American women live 10 years longer than the poorest 1%. Second\, inequality in life expectancy has increased in recent years at the national level. From 2001-2014\, the richest 5% of Americans gained approximately 3 years in longevity\, but the poorest 5% experienced no gains. Third\, life expectancy varies substantially across areas\, especially for low-income individuals. Life expectancy varies by approximately 5 years between the areas with the highest and lowest longevity. Trends in life expectancy varied substantially across areas as well\, ranging from gains of more than 4 years between 2001 and 2014\, to losses of more than 2 years. Fourth\, differences in life expectancy across areas for low-income individuals are highly correlated with differences in health behaviors such as smoking\, obesity and exercise. In contrast\, life expectancy for low-income Americans is not significantly correlated with measures of the quantity and quality of medical care\, local income inequality\, residential segregation\, and labor market conditions. Low-income individuals tend to live the longest (and have the most healthful behaviors) in affluent cities with highly educated populations and high levels of government expenditures. \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: Prof. Jennie Brand\, Ryan Cho\, Dylan Connor\, Ravaris Moore\, Amanda Nguyen\, Ben Smith and Chad Stecher \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Manisha Shah \n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Prof. Leah Boustan \n3:30 pm – 4:00 pm: Prof. Moshe Buchinsky \n4:00 pm – 4:30 pm: Prof. Till Von Wachter \n4:30 pm – 5:00 pm: Prof. Adriana Lleras-Muney

SUMMARY:David Grusky\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:“The Death of the American Dream?” \nAbstract: Whenever an election rolls around\, we can count on dire warnings that the American Dream is under threat\, that hard work and talent are no longer guarantees of success\, and that what now matters most is winning the “birth lottery” and being raised by rich parents.  But are these dire warnings true?  Can a child born into a middle-class family expect to earn much more than a child born into a poor family?  What about a child born into the one percent?  Does that translate into a huge boon to the child’s earnings?  Drawing on new tax-return data\, the hard facts about social mobility in the U.S. are presented\, with a special focus on differences in the mobility opportunities of boys and girls.\n*Co-sponsored with the Dept. of Sociology & Inequality Working Group \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n11:00 am – 11:30 am: Heeju Sohn \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Ryan Cho\, Dylan Connor\, Alexis Cooke\, Larissa Dooley\, Lei Feng\, Ravaris Moore\, Lena Riess\, Rosanna Smart\, Chad Stecher \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Till von Wachter \n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Prof. Siwei Cheng \n4:00 pm – 4:30 pm: Prof. Jennie Brand \n4:30 pm – 5:00 pm: Prof. Judith Seltzer

SUMMARY:Ian W. Holloway\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:“Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Awareness\, Attitudes and Uptake Among Young Gay\, Bisexual and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM) in California.” \nAbstract:  Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in the United States (US) continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV with large racial/ethnic disparities among African-Americans and Latinos. The World Health Organization now recommends that all people at substantial risk of HIV should be offered pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). While PrEP awareness has generally increased\, actual PrEP usage among MSM has been limited. Little is known about PrEP awareness\, attitudes\, and uptake among racially and ethnically diverse YMSM. \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: Matthew Miller\, Lena Reiss

SUMMARY:James Macinko\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:“Self-reported racial identity\, genomic ancestry\, and health disparities in Brazil: an exploratory study” \nAbstract: Health disparities based on skin color/racial identification are present in many societies. In Brazil\, studies have shown that people who describe their skin color as other than white (e.g. mixed\, black\, and/or indigenous) are more likely to report discrimination\, are less likely to receive some types of health services\, experience higher mortality\, and have higher rates of some negative health behaviors. But how should we interpret these disparities given Brazil’s complex\, fluid\, and changing system of ethnoracial classification and racial identity? This study explores the congruence between genome-wide measures of ancestry and self-reported ethnoracial identify in Brazil and assesses their relationship with 4 health outcomes with distinct etiologies: self-rated health\, hypertension\, complications from Chagas disease\, and all-cause mortality. Preliminary results are discussed in terms of implications for measuring and addressing such disparities in a dynamic multiracial society. \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: Larissa Dooley

SUMMARY:Practical GIS for Demography
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE BRING A PERSONAL LAPTOP \nWe will provide all the software tools (no installation needed) \n  \nContent: \nGeographically referenced data sets are becoming increasingly common. \nIn spatial analysis of demographic data\, three common spatial indices are used: points\, lines\, and polygons. Through interspersed hands on exercises\, we will: obtain\, shape\, and visualize demographic data over space. We will briefly discuss the motivation for incorporating geographic association into downstream models. \n  \nBelow is an example of what we will produce with [R] \n1) Obtain GPS locations of In-N-Out’s obtained from the Google Radar API \n2) Compute their generated Voronoi Tesselation to address spatial competition \n3) Aggregate Census 2010 tract-level population counts into these competing geographies \nNo background knowledge of [R] will be required. The exercises are introductory. We will also highlight alternative software tools to achieve similar goals\, such as GrassGIS and Stata \n  \nSign Up Today! \nhttp://goo.gl/forms/oLrgyVz5Xu \n  \nslides ipynb

SUMMARY:Sigal Alon\, Tel Aviv University
DESCRIPTION:“Race\, Class and Affirmative Action” \nView Podcast Here \nAbstract: This book-length manuscript (forthcoming by the Russell Sage Foundation in the Fall 2015) evaluates the ability of class-based affirmative action to promote the social and economic mobility of disadvantaged populations and boost diversity at selective postsecondary institutions\, as compared with race-based policy. The book draws from within- and between-country comparisons of several prototypes of affirmative action policy. She uses the United States as a case study of race-based preferences\, and Israel as a case study of class-based preferences. For each country she compares the model that has actually been implemented to a simulated scenario of the alternative policy type. The overarching goal of this book is to develop new\, and more global insights about the potential of race-neutral public policy to promote equality in higher education. \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. Siwei Cheng \n10:30 am – 11:00 am: Prof. Megan Sweeney \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Sara Johnsen\, Lena Reiss\, Mienah Sharif\, Chad Stecher \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Judith Seltzer \n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Prof. Rob Mare

SUMMARY:Kathryn Yount\, Emory University
DESCRIPTION:“Community Norms\, Collective Practices\, and Partner Violence against Women in Bangladesh” \nView Podcast Here \nStudy 1: Child marriage\, before age 18\, is a collective practice reflecting institutionalized male dominance and is a risk factor for intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. 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

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

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

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

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

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.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Johnson-Hanks\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:“Restless Denominators”   \nVimeo Podcast \nAbstract: This paper explores how denominators are used\, misused\, and—especially—how often they are missing\, and to what effects. 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

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

SUMMARY:Siwei Cheng\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:“The Shifting Structure of Intragenerational Inequality” \nAbstract: Traditional stratification and inequality research often treats individuals as single points of observation in the stratification system. 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:

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:

SUMMARY:Rachel Goldberg\, UC Irvine
DESCRIPTION:“Immigrant Generation and Adolescent Childbearing in the United States” \nAbstract: Despite recent declines\, the teen birth rate in the United States is still the highest among high-income countries. 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:

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

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:

SUMMARY:Aude Hofleitner\, Facebook
DESCRIPTION:“Inferring and understanding travel and migration movements at a global scale” \nAbstract: Despite extensive work on the dynamics and outcomes of large-scale migrations\, timely and accurate estimates of population movements do not exist. 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

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
