Quantifying and Interpreting Measures of Segregation

Boris Barron; in Zusammenarbeit mit Matthew Hall, Tomas Arias (beide: Cornell University, Ithaca, Vereinigte Staaten), Peter Rich (University of Wisconsin-Madison, Vereinigte Staaten)

Segregation research relies on indices that reduce complex neighborhood patterns to single values, obscuring the underlying structure. Going beyond standard index techniques, this project constructs measures that are descriptive and predictive through a triangulation of information theory, simulations, and empirical tests.  Ausführliche Beschreibung
