Wolfinger, Nicholas H. | Marriage and divorce in Utah and the United States: convergence or continued divergence? | The social context for marriage and divorce in the United States has changed dramatically over the last 50 years. Since the 1950s, Americans have been waiting longer to marry. Women's median age at first marriage rose from 20 in the 1960s to 25 in 2000; for men, the increase was from 22 to 27 (Clar... | | 2006 |

Fogel, Alan Dale | Maternal speech to three-month-old infants in the United States and Japan | An American-Japanese comparison of maternal speech to 3-month-old infants is presented. Mother-infant dyads were videotaped in the laboratory, and the maternal speech was analysed by function and syntactic form. US mothers were more information-oriented than were Japanese mothers; they also used mor... | Maternal speech; Information-oriented; Affect-oriented; Prelinguistic infants; Baby talk | 1990 |

Jameson, Kenneth P. | Measuring the effect of Bi-directional migration remittances on poverty and inequality in Nicaragua | This paper examines the impact of migrants' remittances on poverty and income distribution in Nicaragua. Nicaraguan emigrants are fairly evenly distributed between the United States and Costa Rica. Poorer migrants overwhelmingly migrate to Costa Rica; richer migrants favor the United States. This bi... | | 2011-01-01 |

Brown, Barbara B. | Methods for preparing dry, partially articulated skeletons of osteichthyans, with notes on making ridewood dissections of the cranial skeleton | We describe methods for preparing dry skeletons of virtually any osteichthyan species with a well-ossified skeleton, including very large specimens (e.g., > 1 m Megalops atlanticus). Our approach differs from those conventionally used to prepare skeletons of tetrapods in that (1) fairly complete di... | Skeleton preparation; Study specimens; Partially articulated skeletons; Osteichthyans; Ridewood dissections; Cranial skeleton | 2004 |

Yu, Zhou; Fan, Jessie X. | Migrant status and consumer financial fraud in China: a two-stage approach | Chinese migrants face socioeconomic disadvantages. Less is known about their vulnerability to consumer financial fraud, which can impede migrants' integration into urban China. This paper uses nationally representative data from 2015 to investigate migrants' risk factors for consumer financial fraud... | Migration; hukou; risk factors; fraud exposure; victimization; rural migrants; and urban migrants | |

Rogers, Alan R. | Migration and genetic drift in human populations | In humans and many other species, mortality is concentrated early in the life cycle, and is low during the ages of dispersal and reproduction. Yet precisely the opposite is assumed by classical population-genetics models of migration and genetic drift. We introduce a model in which population regul... | Frequencies; Variance; Dynamics | 1986 |

Hall, Thad; Roberts, Brian F. | Military voting and the law: procedural and technological solutions to the ballot transit problem | During the 2000 presidential election controversy in Florida, the ballots submitted by individuals living overseas-especially military voters-were seen as crucial to the election outcome as the margin of potential victory was so small that these ballots could turn the election from one candidate ... | Military, Voting; United States, elections; Absentee Ballot | 2007-01-12 |

Yu, Zhou | Misleading comparisons of homeownership rates between groups and over time: the effects of variable household formation | Despite ominous signs of housing market stress, the homeownership rate reached an all time high in 2006. We seek to understand whether the conventional definition of homeownership, which is based on the share of households and ignores the effects of variable household formation, has confounded the a... | | 2009 |

Yu, Zhou | Misleading comparisons of homeownership rates when the variable effect of household formation is ignored: explaining rising homeownership and the homeownership gap between Blacks and Asians | Despite ominous signs of housing market stress in the U.S., the homeownership rate reached an all time high in 2006. The conventional definition of homeownership, which is based on the share of households and ignores the effects of variable household formation, confounds the measurement of "success"... | | 2010-01-01 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Harpending, Henry C. | Mismatch distributions of mtDNA reveal recent human population expansions | Although many genetic studies of human evolution have tried to make distinctions between the replacement and the multiregional evolution hypotheses, current methods and data have not resolved the issue. However, new advances in nucleotide divergence theory can complement these investigations with a ... | | 1994 |

Wolfinger, Nicholas H. | Mixed blessings of no-fault divorce | Between the mid-1960s and 1979 the crude divorce rate in the United States more than doubled.1 Although divorce had increased at a steady rate for more than the previous 100 years, the mid-1960s marked the beginning of an unprecedented boom.2 Despite modest declines over the last twenty years,3 th... | Divorce reform | 2005 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Model of kin-structured migration | When individuals disperse from one local group to another, they often do so in the company of relatives. This is known as "kin-structured migration," and its effect on genetic population structure is investigated here. It is shown that when migration is kin-structured, the ratio of between- to with... | Fission; Mobility; Population | 1987 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Modeling the amplification dynamics of human Alu retrotransposons | Retrotransposons have had a considerable impact on the overall architecture of the human genome. Currently, there are three lineages of retrotransposons (Alu, L1, and SVA) that are believed to be actively replicating in humans. While estimates of their copy number, sequence diversity, and levels of ... | Retrotransposons; Amplification dynamics; Mutation; Human-chimpanzee divergence | 2005 |

Rogers, Alan R. | The molecular clock | The molecular clock uses evolutionary changes in proteins and DNA to measure the passage of time. Yet molecular evolution is clocklike only to a first approximation. Uncertainties arise because of variation in rates of molecular evolution, because of difficulty in calibrating clocks, and because we ... | | 2013-01-01 |

Gelfand, Donna M. | Mother-toddler interaction patterns associated with maternal depression. | Interactive coordination was observed in laboratory play interactions of pairs of 29 clinically depressed and 14 nondepressed mothers and their 13-29-month-old children (M = 18.9 months). Nondepressed mothers and their children displayed more interactive coordination than depressed-mother dyads (p <... | Depression; Child-rearing; Infants; Motherhood | 1997-09 |

Wen, Ming | Neighborhood socioeconomic status and BMI differences by immigrant and legal status: Evidence from Utah | We build on recent work examining the BMI patterns of immigrants in the US by distinguishing between legal and undocumented immigrants. We find that undocumented women have relative odds of obesity that are about 10 percentage points higher than for legal immigrant women, and their relative odds of ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Fan, Jessie Xiaojing | Net income, gross income, and bias in child support awards in gross income-shares states | In this study I discuss the pros and cons of using net income vs. gross income in gross income-shares states. It is argued that the "standardized net" approach is the best approach in determining child support awards based on the combined principles of equity and accuracy. However most states use g... | Net income; Gross income; Tax credit; State income tax | 2006-07-27 |
