Donald F. Vitaliano 《Review of Economics of the Household》2009,7(2):179-188
Women employed in the New York paper box industry in 1913–1914 earned about 60% of what men did. This paper employs the human
capital framework to analyze the wage differential due to productivity related factors versus discriminatory nepotism towards
men. Years of schooling, years of experience in the paper box trade, and legislative restrictions on working hours of women
account for virtually all of the observed wage differential, both for all men and women in the paper box industry, and between
the skilled occupations of cutters and strippers.

Professional Women, Good Families: Respectable Femininity and the Cultural Politics of a “New” India
Smitha Radhakrishnan 《Qualitative sociology》2009,32(2):195-212
This study of professional software women in urban India examines practices of respectable femininity and discourses of the
Indian family to understand the changing and abiding aspects of a seemingly new national culture. Colonial and nationalist
constructs of the Indian home, and the middle-class women who protected that home, continue to powerfully shape everyday articulations
of national belonging, even as they are transformed through individual negotiations and a global economy. Drawing from extensive
interviews and ethnographic work, this paper analyzes the interplay of gender, class, and nation in contemporary urban India
as individualized, gendered efforts to accumulate symbolic capital.

This article examines how former prisoners of color conceptualize their political, social, and economic futures and how these
conceptualizations relate to the racialized social structural obstacles encountered upon reentry and decisions to re-engage
criminal labor. I find that, presented with similar post-prison challenges, excarcerated men take several approaches when
reentering society. I argue that the differences among their approaches lie in their varying interpretations of how they can
act as individuals against and within their social structural limitations. Their decisions to rejoin or forfeit participation
in criminal economies are thus shaped by experiences confronting the limitations of material conditions but also emerge from
their critiques of racialized structures.

Previous research suggests that minorities are more likely to perceive racially-based discrimination in a variety of settings
than are whites, in large part because of the ways their personal experiences with racism shape the lens they use to view
the world. We examine a labor market that is typically considered an exception to patterns of racism in employment, the industry
of professional football. We interview athletes who attempted to gain employment in the National Football League, a labor
market where access to valued positions is heavily restricted by industry practices. Findings from field research and semi-structured
interviews indicate that minority workers experience symbolic discrimination during the hiring process. Differential treatment
of players reflects stereotypes about minority families and masculinity. Although minority and white players describe much
of the actual content of their labor market experiences in similar fashion, their perceptions of these experiences differ
sharply, with minority athletes identifying far more negative repercussions.

Evidence suggests a large portion of the gender wage gap is explained by gender occupational segregation. A common hypothesis
is that gender differences in preferences or abilities explain this segregation; women may prefer jobs that provide more “family-friendly”
fringe benefits. Much of the research provides no direct evidence on gender differences in access to fringe benefits, nor
how provision affects wages. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, we find that women are more likely
to receive family-friendly benefits, but not other types of fringe benefits. We find no evidence that the differences in fringe
benefits explain the gender wage gap.

Transnational social networks powerfully shape Mexican migration and enable families to stretch internationally. In an atmosphere
of such high dependence on social networks, it would be rare for families not to be affected by the opinions of others. This
article analyzes this often-overlooked aspect of social networks, gossip. I analyze gossip stories prevalent for one type
of migrant family, those in which parents and children live apart. Drawing on over 150 ethnographic interviews and observation
with members of Mexican transnational families and their neighbors in multiple sites, I describe both parents’ and children’s
experiences with transnational gossip. I show that in a transnational context, gossip is a highly gendered activity with different
consequences for men and women. Although targeting both women and men, transnational gossip reinforces the expectations that
mothers be family caregivers and fathers be family providers even when physical separation makes these activities difficult
to accomplish.

Data collected on self-employed women and men in one county allow examination of work effort, housework effort, housework
hours, and preference for flexible work on earnings. Regressions indicate housework effort of self-employed women contributes
to their lower earnings. Housework hours do not supporting the view women select self-employment to find flexible work. Housework
hours do reduce the earnings of self-employed men, which could reflect their stronger commitment to housework combined with
less flexible work. A Oaxaca decomposition suggests less tenure and greater housework effort are important contributors to
lower earnings of self-employed women. Ranges that measure earnings may contribute to the insignificance of work effort, normalized
work effort, and preference for flexible work hours. (J16, J23)

In the late twentieth century, many social scientists and other social commentators came to characterize the world as evolving
into an “information society.” Central to these claims was the notion that new social uses of information, and particularly
application of scientific knowledge, are transforming social life in fundamental ways. Among the supposed transformations
are the rise of intellectuals in social importance, growing productivity and prosperity stemming from increasingly knowledge-based
economic activity, and replacement of political conflict by authoritative, knowledge-based decision-making. We trace these
ideas to their origins in the Enlightenment doctrines of Saint Simon and Comte, show that empirical support for them has never
been strong, and consider the durability of their social appeal.

This study reports a meta-analysis of 75 estimates of the efficiency-wage effect. It reveals a strong efficiency-wage effect
that depends upon whether researchers control for potential simultaneity between wages and productivity. Studies that control
for simultaneity tend to report stronger effects. Clear evidence of publication selection is also found. E24, J30.

The current crisis of neoliberalism is calling into question the relevance of key international institutions. We analyze the
origins, nature, and possible impacts of the crisis through comparing two such institutions: the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Both originated in the post-World War II U.S.-led hegemonic order and were transformed
as part of the transition to global neoliberalism. We show that while the IMF and the WTO have been part of the same hegemonic
project, their distinct institutional features have put them on significantly different trajectories. Historical differences
in the two institutions’ systems of rules have placed the IMF in a more vulnerable position than the WTO, which provides clues
to the future contours of global economic governance.

The Multiple Meanings of Work for Welfare-Reliant Women 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Kerry Woodward 《Qualitative sociology》2008,31(2):149-168
Based on ethnographic and interview data collected at two welfare to work offices, this paper explores the various meanings
that welfare-reliant women give to paid work. Although studies show that welfare-reliant women support work requirements and
believe that welfare receipt should be temporary, even Progressives often fail to see the multiple meanings work has for poor
women, and how similar these are to the meanings most Americans attach to work. Not only do poor women want to work for basic
economic survival, but they view paid work as a means to family security, a path to fulfilling personal aspirations, and as
their civic responsibility.

Joni Hersch 《Review of Economics of the Household》2009,7(2):159-178
Using data from the American Time Use Survey for the years 2003–2006, this paper finds that housework has a negative relation
with wages for both women and men. The negative relation between housework time and wages is not likely to arise from omitted
working conditions that are correlated with housework, nor from omitted effort. For women, the negative relation between housework
and wages appears in most occupations, including professional and managerial occupations. The connection of housework time
to the ‘lack of interest’ argument proposed by defendants in class action sex discrimination cases is examined and is not
supported by the evidence.

This paper analyzes how ethno-racial standpoints influence the ways that genealogists negotiate and narrate biological and/or
social interpretations of family and social history. A constructivist methodological approach grounds the analysis of three
family genealogists who all have African and European lineages, but differ in their current ethno-racial identities. These
case studies serve as exemplars of how individuals negotiate the racial formation processes of past and present. I suggest
that there is reflexive and political potential in bio-based genealogy to transform our current racial “common sense.” The
practice of genealogy reveals tacit social and biological assumptions that can serve as points of leverage for progressive
social change, and yet vary by standpoint. In the context of the iconic gene we must be vigilant about the threat of genetic
essentialism, yet the threat is mitigated by the simultaneous democratization of our knowledge and control over origin stories.

This paper extends the program evaluation literature by investigating intra-household externalities generated by a reproductive
health program, administered as a quasi-control experiment in rural Bangladesh. Although the program targeted only mothers
and children in randomly selected treatment areas, using a reduced form demand approach and data from Matlab Health and Socio-economic
Survey of 1996, we found a significantly positive spillover impact of this reproductive health program on the health of the
never-targeted elderly women.

By applying the non-parametric Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) method, this paper attempts to investigate the sources of
productivity changes of China’s State Owned Commercial Banks (SOCBs) and Joint Stock Commercial Banks (JSCBs) during the period
2000–2005. The empirical findings suggest that the China banking sector has exhibited productivity progress attributed to
the increase in efficiency. The empirical findings suggest that the SOCBs and the JSCBs have exhibited productivity progress
of 0.2 and 1.3%, respectively.

The burgeoning literature on transborder membership, largely focused on the thickening relationship between emigration states
in the South and the postwar labor migrant populations and their descendants in North America or Western Europe, has not paid
due attention to the long-term macroregional transformations that shape transborder national membership politics or to the
bureaucratic practices of the state that undergird transborder claims-making. By comparing contentious transborder national
membership politics in South Korea during the Cold War and Post-Cold War eras, this article seeks to overcome these limitations.
In both periods, the membership status of colonial-era ethnic Korean migrants in Japan and northeast China and their descendants
was the focus of contestation. The distinctiveness of the case—involving both a sustained period of colonial rule and a period
of belated and divided nation-state building interwoven with the Cold War—highlights the crucial importance of three factors:
(1) the dynamically evolving macro-regional context, which has shaped transborder national membership politics in the region
in distinctive ways; (2) the essentially political, performative, and constitutive nature of transborder nation-building;
and (3) the role of state registration and documentation practices in shaping the contours of transborder national membership
politics in the long run. By incorporating Korea—and East Asia more broadly—into the comparative study of transborder nation-building,
this article also lays the groundwork for future cross-regional comparative historical studies.

The purpose of this theoretical article is to contribute to the analysis of knowledge and valuation in markets. In every market
actors must know how to value its products. The analytical point of departure is the distinction between two ideal types of
markets that are mutually exclusive, status and standard. In a status market, valuation is a function of the status rank orders
or identities of the actors on both sides of the market, which is more entrenched than the value of what is traded in the
market. In a market characterized by a standard, the situation is reversed; the scale of value is more entrenched than the
rankings of actors in the market. In a status market actors need to know about the other actors involved as there is no scale
of value for evaluating the items traded in the market independently of its buyers and sellers. In a standard market it is
more important to know how to meet the standard in relation to which all items traded are valued. The article includes empirical
examples and four testable hypotheses.

Qualitative research has investigated distinct couple types that divide work and family responsibilities based on employment
circumstances and relationship characteristics, but such research is not conducive to identifying frequencies of couple types
or statistically comparing work-family circumstances across couple types. The current study incorporated both employment and
family variables in identifying four distinct dual-earner couple types among respondents from the National Survey of the Changing
Workforce. Couple types were compared regarding demographic information, and memberships in couple types were predicted based
on this information. Some significant differences emerged that may begin to explain the circumstances and motivations behind
selecting certain work-family arrangements, though the more peer-like couples were less distinct and in some ways less economically advantaged than expected.

Over the last 30 years, social theorists have increasingly emphasized the importance of space. However, in empirical research,
the dialectical relationship between social interaction and the physical environment is still a largely neglected issue. Using
the theory of structuration, I provide a concrete example of why and how space matters in the cultural analysis of an urban
social world. I argue that bike messengers—individuals who deliver time-sensitive materials in downtown cores of major cities—cannot
be understood outside an analysis of space. Specifically, I connect the cultural significance of messenger practices to the
emplacement of those practices inside the urban environment.

Analyses of data from the 2000 US Census show that the gender pay gap differs by sector of employment and according to the
part of the earnings distribution that is considered. The gender pay differential in the private sector in the US does not
display either the glass ceiling or sticky floor effects that have been reported for many other countries. The government
sector is, however, characterized by a distinct sticky floor effect in the female–male pay differential. Regardless of the
sector of employment, females have lower hourly rates of pay than men across the entire earnings distribution.
