The need to combine spatial data representing sociodemographic information
across incompatible spatial units is a common problem for demographers. A
particular concern is computing small area trends when aggregation zone
boundaries change during the trend interval. To that end, this study provides an
example of dasymetric areal interpolation using the pre-classified land cover

Amy Kate Bailey
In this paper, I gauge the impact of veteran status on migration probabilities
for black and white men in the late 20th century United States, comparing
cohorts that were subject to various military staffing policies. I find that
white veterans are more likely than are white non-veterans to live outside the
state of their birth and to have recently migrated. These effects persist
regardless of whe... hiện toàn bộ

China’s sex ratio imbalance and the surplus of males have received a great deal
of attention, but measures of the extent of the marriage squeeze do not take
into account the marital status of population. In this paper, we devise an index
of the marriage squeeze for the never-married population and use it to project
the male marriage squeeze from 2000 to 2060. From the predicted population and
