No full textThis Stata script graphs the proportion of the national population living in central cities
and suburbs each decade from 1930 through 2010
Replication Data for: Figure 1.4 Density Balance Index scores by city size group, 1970-2010
No full textScript graphs box plots of DBI scores for all metro areas, grouping by year and
metropolitan area population size (larger or smaller than 250,000 people).
Additional scripts create different graphs.

Replication Data for: Figure 4.1 5.1 6.1 7.1 Regional Populations by Zone
No full textThis Stata script graphs cumulative populations; that is, each concentric zone's
values are added to the previous zone's. This is how it appears in the book.

Replication Data for: Political Divisions in Large Cities: The Socio-Spatial Basis of Legislative Behavior in Chicago and Toronto
No full textContemporary cities are frequently characterized as divided by race and socio-economic status, yet the political effects of segregation and stratification are rarely fully explored. Urban politics scholars have disagreed on whether urban politics is essentially consensual, conflicts are issue-based and transitory, or social and economic divides generate enduring political cleavages. We contribute to this debate with an analysis of elite conflict as manifested in recorded city council votes in two large, heterogeneous North American cities, Chicago and Toronto, over a multi-decade period. The analysis employs a new technique for analyzing the dimensionality of roll-call votes. We find evidence of durable coordination among ward councilors in both cities, however the substance of conflict differs. Correlating the dimensions of voting behavior with ward characteristics indicates that Chicago’s aldermen divide on racial lines, while Toronto’s councilors primarily divide on the place characteristics of wards, and secondarily on socio-economic status and ethnicity

We provide a mixed-methods, comparative analysis of the development of the urban-rural electoral cleavage in Canada, Great Britain, and the United States from the early 20th century to the present. Using aggregate election results, electoral district boundary files, and electoral district population measures, we construct a new comparable dataset of district election results and urbanity for the lower house of the legislature in each country. We use this dataset to measure the importance of the urban-rural divide for election outcomes across countries and time. We find that the cleavage has widened over time in each country, each arrived at its current urban-rural divide via a distinct developmental trajectory, which we interpret with reference to secondary literature. We conclude by discussing the significance of our findings for theories of both the causes and consequences of urban-rural divides and discuss the implications of our work for the comparative study of urban-rural cleavages
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
