🧵 New WP! w/ @selcanmutgan.bsky.social

Most segregation research examines neighborhoods, schools, or workplaces separately. But do individuals' exposure align across domains and persist over the life course? We fill this gap using 27 years of 🇸🇪 data.

A recent Swedish paper shows attenuating sibling correlations at high parental earnings, meaning more mobility at the top. But the gradient in children’s earnings by parental earnings is steep. Add the mean component and the conclusion becomes more, not less, persistence at the top.

Splitting sibling correlations (ICCs) by parental rank quietly conditions out the mean advantage that is intergenerational reproduction. Group-specific (within) ICCs aren’t “total family influence” when you split by parental rank—they’re residual sibling similarity around group means.

The commentary examines an article studying the relationship between (aggregate) immigration levels and crime in Sweden. I review the article and show that its conclusion is not supported by the results presented.

This is a commentary on an article desk-rejected without feedback. The concerns warrant substantive engagement by the journal. JIMI is part of Springer Nature yet it does not seem to implement their “Matters Arising” policy in practice or consistently follow COPE standards.

I'm happy to share that our team (@lecoursonnais.bsky.social, Maria Brandén, @martinhallsten.bsky.social and myself) has received 6.8M SEK in funding from the Swedish Research Council for our project: “Paths of Inequality: Life-Course Segregation Across Multiple Domains.”

Who would have thought ...

Tell us which "different field" ...!

I just resubmitted a paper where the EDITOR provided a long list of articles from their own journal "that might be of interest"...

How many times can a myth be busted and someone receive a prize for it? The US-immigrant-crime myth was busted 130 years ago www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/epdf/10....

Every analysis of the effects of children’s screen time needs to include, as the counterfactual, older generations’ countless hours spent watching TV test cards while waiting for something to come on

@weratedags.com How do you rate this one?

Mine is: Paper I am glad I never wrote (but someone else did).

Wait: if C is random, then what about AE? Because it is a zero-sum game, right?

When I submitted this paper, I couldn’t have guessed I’d soon join @europeansocreview.bsky.social as Associate Editor. Glad to see it published in print now, with great company from some other authors I’ve edited over the past year.
