 | Francis, John G. | Evolving regulatory structure of European church-state relationships | In Western Europe, many contemporary churches have achieved remarkable levels of administrative autonomy and tangible resource support. Yet paradoxically, public participation in the traditional churches appears marginal. In Eastern Europe under Communism, churches experienced varying levels of hos... | Regimes; environment; regulation | 1992 |

 | Rogers, Alan R. | Evolution of time preference by natural selection | This paper entertains the hypothesis that human time preferences are in evolutionary equilibrium (i.e. that no mutation changing time preferences could be favored by natural selection). This hypothesis implies that the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) holding Darwinian fitness constant must equal... | Capitalism; econometric models; equilibrium | 1994-06 |

 | Fogel, Alan Dale | Expressing affection and love to young children | Few people would seriously contest the proposition that children need love. The belief that children thrive on love is not universal, but in our western culture it has become the foundation for the work of educators and parents (Kagan, 1978). Yet, for all of our certainty about the principle, the p... | Expressing affection | 1980 |

 | Diamond, Lisa | Contributions of psychophysiology to research on adult attachment: review and recommendations | Despite the increasing use of psychophysiological measures to investigate social and interpersonal phenomena, few studies of adult romantic attachment have taken advantage of this approach. In this article I argue for a biologically-specific, theory-based integration of psychophysiological measures ... | Attachment; emotions; physiology | 2001-10-08 |

 | Yu, Zhou; Myers, Dowell | Convergence or divergence in Los Angeles: three distinctive ethnic patterns of immigrant residential assimilation | This paper uses census microdata to examine five aspects of residential assimilation in the greater Los Angeles area. A double cohort method is used to separate the effect of duration in the U.S. from the effect of aging. We track a single arrival cohort that came in 1970-79, and analyze the process... | Residential assimilation; immigrants; cohort; Los Angeles; homeownership | 2006-01-11 |

 | Cashdan, Elizabeth A. | Competition between foragers and food producers on the Botletli River, Botswana | The immigration of food-producing groups into areas occupied by hunters and gatherers must have been a common occurrence in prehistory. How were the hunter-gatherers affected by this? I describe here two groups of Kalahari Basarwa ('Bushmen'), one living along the flood plain of the lower Botletli ... | Kalahari basarwa; bushmen; foraging; cattle | 1986 |

 | Hall, Thad | Controlling democracy: the principal-agent problems in election administration | Election reform has become a major issue since the 2000 election, but little consideration has been given to the issues associated with managing them. In this article, we use principal agent theory to examine the problems associated with Election Day polling place voting. We note that Election Day v... | Election reform; public management; principal-agent theory | 2006-07-20 |

 | Codding, Brian | Conservation or co-evolution? Intermediate levels of aboriginal burning and hunting have positive effects on kangaroo populations in Western Australia | Studies of conservation in small scale societies typically portray indigenous peoples as either sustainably managing resources, or forsaking long-term sustainability for short-term gains. To explain this variability, we propose an alternative framework derived from a co-evolutionary perspective. In ... | 2014-01-01 | |

 | Kowaleski-Jones, Lori | Community contributions to scholastic success | The authors examine the influence of neighborhood characteristics on the academic outcomes of children in middle childhood. Prior research has examined structural features of the community and has evaluated their associations with youth outcomes (Brooks-Gunn, Duncan, Klebanov, & Sealand, 1993; Kowal... | Academic development; child development; developmental psychology | 2006-05 |

 | McDaniel, Susan | Continuities and transformations: challenges to capturing information about the 'Information Society' | Continuous change and radical transformations are intrinsic and often contradictory in the 'Information Society.' If the 'Information Society' marks a radical social shift, i.e. discontinuous change, then theorizing what the phenomenon is becomes crucial in capturing useful information about it. Yet... | Social process; information; computer technologies | 2002 |

 | Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Genetic evidence on modern human origins | A review of genetic evidence leads to the following conclusions concerning human population history: (1) Between 33,000 and 150,000 years ago the human population expanded from an initial size of perhaps 10,000 breeding individuals, reaching a size of at least 300,000. (2) Although the initial popu... | Population history; mitochondrial DNA; mismatch distribution; intermatch distribution; replacement hypothesis; population bottlenecks | 1995 |

 | Rogers, Alan R. | Genetic evidence for a Pleistocene population explosion | Expansions of population size leave characteristic signatures in mitochondrial "mismatch distributions." Consequently, these distributions can inform us about the history of changes in population size. Here, I study a simple model of population history that assumes that, t generations before the pr... | 1995 | |
