Maloney, Thomas N. | Living standards in black and white: evidence from the heights of Ohio prison inmates, 1829-1913 | The use of height data to measure living standards is now a well-established method in the economic history literature. Moreover, a number of core findings are widely agreed upon. There are still some populations, places, and times, however, for which anthropometric evidence remains limited. One su... | Stature, Inequality, Nineteenth century US race relations | 2008-07 |

Fowles, Richard | Determinants of motor vehicle fatalities using classical specification testing and Bayesian sensitivity methods | This paper uses classical regression methods along with Bayesian Extreme Bounds Analysis (EBA) to addresses the effect of cell phones on motor vehicle fatality rates so as to examine the potential of net life-taking and life-saving effects. The models adjust for a time trend (YEAR), the maximum b... | Motor vehicle fatalities; Motor vehicle statistical studies; Cell phones | 2008-01-09 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Making the effort: the racial contours of Detroit's labor markets, 1920-1940 | In 1940 the Ford Motor Company employed half of the black men in Detroit but only 14 percent of the whites. The authors postulate that black Detroiters were concentrated at Ford because they were excluded from working elsewhere. Those most affected were young married black men. A Ford job was vir... | Automotive workers - Black people; Ford Motor Company | 1995 |

Jameson, Kenneth P. | Data and social science rhetoric: policy and instruction | I believe that social science and empirical investigation can make important contributions to our understanding and to resolution of policy issues, but only if we are clear on the nature of social science and the role of quantification. In particular we must admit the limits of our truth claims, th... | Social sciences; Quantification; Empirical investigation | 1996 |

Zick, Cathleen D.; Srisukhumbowornchai, Sivithee | Does housework matter anymore? The shifting impact of housework on economic inequality | In recent years, American women's housework time has declined while American men's housework time has risen. We examine how these changes have affected economic inequality in America. Using time-diary data from the Time Use in Economic and Social Accounts, 1975-76 (N=1,484) and the American Time Use... | Demography; Socioeconomic status; Household duties; Female; Male; United States; Economics | 2006-09-25 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Degrees of inequality: the advance of black male workers in the northern meat packing and steel industries before World War II | Recent major works on long-term racial inequality in the labor market revolve around competing hypotheses concerning the importance of human capital factors (Smith and Welch 1989) and government policy (Donohue and Heckman 1991) in promoting black advance. There is however, another line or thinking ... | Labor markets; Northern employers; Racial inequality | 1995 |

Smith, Ken R.; Waitzman, Norman J. | Double jeopardy: interaction effects of marital and poverty status on the risk of mortality | The purpose of this paper is to examine the hypothesis that marital and poverty status interact in their effects on mortality risks beyond their main effects. This study examines the epidemiological bases for applying an additive rather than a multiplicative specification when testing for interacti... | National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey | 1994 |

Fowles, Richard | Cell phone effect on motor vehicle fatality rates: a Bayesian and classical econometric evaluation | This paper examines the potential effect of cell phones on motor vehicle fatality rates normalized for other driving related and socioeconomic factors. The model used is nonlinear so as to address both life-taking and life-saving attributes of cell phones. The model is evaluated using classical meth... | | 2010 |

Jameson, Kenneth P. | Determinants of Latin American exchange rate regimes | The experience of the last thirty years suggests that a wide range of factors affects policymakers' choice of exchange rate regime. The initial explanation was that changes in the international sphere dominated domestic policies and strongly influenced how governments decided among the trade-offs.

Waitzman, Norman J. | Half-life of cost-of-illness estimates: the case of Spina Bifida | Neural tube defects, which include spina bifida, are one of the most frequent and important categories of birth defects. Accordingly, there has been considerable interest in studying the impact of spina bifida as a public health problem. This impact can be measured in various ways, including dise... | Spinal cord; Birth defect; Healthcare costs | 2004-10-12 |
