The index of dissimilarity has come to be the principal statistic for measuring segregation, particularly urban residential segregation by race. Recently, though, a literature arisen which criticizes and proposes revisions or alternative statistics.

This proximity compared with other indices found somewhat successful in distinguishing between...
In this article the authors replicate and extend methodological analysis of Massey Denton (1988), which conceptualized residential segregation as a multidimensional construct with five axes spatial variation: evenness, exposure, concentration, centralization, clustering.

Despite lower levels previous academic performance, recent...
The aim of the study presented in this paper is to disentangle roles three mechanisms -- selection, adaptation, and disruption influencing migrant fertility Ghana. Using data from 1998 Ghana Demographic Health Survey, we fit Poisson sequential logit regression models discern effects above on cumulative annual probabilities birth.
