CSDE Seminar Series

Like Grandfather, Like Grandson? Multigenerational Mobility in American History

     Where:  101 Hans Rosling Center or register for hybrid zoom here.
     1:1 Meetings are Available with Dr. Ward:Sign-up here 


Join us for this week’s seminar with Associate Professor Zach Ward from the Department of Economics at Baylor University.  Ward will be speaking about the extent to which intergenerational mobility estimates fail to capture the long-run influences of grandparents.  Nearly all estimates of multigenerational mobility find that socioeconomic status is transmitted more strongly between grandparent and grandchild than predicted from a standard intergenerational model.

Zamora-Kapoor and Co-Authors Publish on Risk of Food Insecurity in Young Adulthood

CSDE External Affiliate Anna Zamora-Kapoor and co-authors have published a paper in The Journal of Nutrition entitled “Risk of Food Insecurity in Young Adulthood and Longitudinal Changes in Cardiometabolic Health: Evidence from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health“. The authors assess the longitudinal relation between risk of food insecurity in young adulthood and change in diet-sensitive cardiometabolic health outcomes across 10 years among various ethnic groups utilizing the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health study (ADD Health). These data are available to CSDE affiliates through CSDE's UWDC, so don't hesitate to let us know if you would like to employ these data for your own research.

Flaxman and Sharygin Publish On Reconstructing Age Distributions From Census Data with Differential Privacy Controls

CSDE Affiliate  Abraham Flaxman and CSDE External Affiliate Ethan Sharygin co-authored a study in the journal of Population Research and Policy Review entitled “Reconstruction of age distributions from differentially private census data”. The authors explore the question of whether there are statistical methods that can be applied to noisy age distributions to enhance the research uses of census data without compromising privacy. They utilize a non-parametric method for smoothing and find that smoothing age distributions can increase the fidelity of the demonstration data to previously published population counts by age and discuss implications for future research.
