Description

This session reports on novel statistical analyses of data on event histories, equity, and causal relationships. The first paper lays out a general framework for structural equation analysis with mixed continuous and discrete data. Two papers model event histories, one in college enrollment and the other on marriage and migration in China. Two others develop measures of residential segregation and of equity in public education. The next examines income distribution with a focus on modeling the high tail of income. Finally, we consider the distribution of the product of correlation coefficients, with applications to causal inference.
