Disuguaglianze e mobilità sociale
No full textL’obiettivo di questo capitolo è di illustrare, utilizzando strumenti teorici comuni nella letteratura sulla misurazione della disuguaglianza e dati relativi all’evoluzione dei redditi degli individui, come sia possibile analizzare e integrare tra di loro valutazioni relative alla disuguaglianza dei redditi ed alla mobilità sociale. L’analisi empirica presentata rivela il ruolo importante svolto dalle componenti di mobilità intertemporale dei redditi lungo il ciclo vitale nel determinare la disuguaglianza nei redditi permanenti
The measurement of segregation sensitive spatial income deprivation
No full textWe develop dominance criteria to assess the patterns of residential ethnic segregation and urban income deprivation across neighborhoods of a city. The results combine aggregate information on inequality and residential segregation within neighborhoods and disparities across neighborhoods in average incomes. We use this methodology to investigate the dynamic of these phenomena in the cities of Chicago and in New York from 1990 to 2012

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Segregation and the onset of COVID-19 in American cities
Full text linkWe show that ethnic segregation in American cities has contributed to the early
onset and to the speed of propagation of the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that
one standard deviation increase in the exposure dimension of segregation, which
we measure by mean of the Gini Exposure segregation index, leads to an increase
of 8.7 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants across American urban counties.
Exploiting heterogeneity in the geography and timing of stay-at-home orders, we
also find evidence that segregation mitigated the effect of lock-down measures
