Comparing Contingency Tables Tools for Analyzing Data from Two Groups Cross-Classified by Two Characteristics Historical Methods 40,1 (Winter 2007): 3-16 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Heldref Publications Keyword(s): Ethnic Groups/Ethnicity; General Social Survey (GSS); Home Ownership; Mobility, Occupational Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The authors discuss two tools to compare tables generated by the cross-classification of data by two characteristics (e.g., fathers' and sons' occupations; home ownership and ethnicity): (1) an algorithm to adjust two tables to have identical marginal frequencies, and (2) a measure of the association between rows and columns in a two-way table and a measure of how the row and column associations differ across two such tables, together with a test of the hypothesis that the associations are identical. The authors compare intergenerational occupational mobility in the United States in the period between 1850 and 1880 with that between 1880 and 1910.

The End of American Exceptionalism? Mobility in the U.S. Since 1850 Working Paper, Department of Economics, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, October 2004. Also: http://www.faculty.econ.northwestern.edu/faculty/ferrie/papers/Exceptionalism.pdf Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: Department of Economics, Northwestern University Keyword(s): Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Mobility Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. New longitudinal data on individuals linked across nineteenth century U.S. censuses document the geographic and occupational mobility of more than 75,000 Americans from the 1850s to the 1920s. Together with longitudinal data for more recent years, these data make possible for the first time systematic comparisons of mobility over the last 150 years of American economic development, as well as cross-national comparisons for the nineteenth century. The U.S. was a substantially more mobile economy than Britain between 1850 and 1880. But both intergenerational occupational mobility and geographic mobility have declined in the U.S. since the beginning of the twentieth century, leaving much less apparent two aspects of the "American Exceptionalism" noted by nineteenth century observers. |
