15801. WIM | How Has COVID-19 Affected Job Markets Worldwide? (1:08:00)

2021-02-26
Main contributors:
Dr. Kosali Simon, Dr. Coady Wing
Summary:
This presentation starts by discussing how COVID-19 has affected job markets worldwide, key questions, methods, and data sources used. I will then focus on the research my colleagues and I have conducted in the last year, paying most attention to the focal paper using Current Population Survey monthly data from the US. In that paper, we make several contributions to understanding the socio-demographic ramifications of the COVID-19 epidemic and policy responses on employment outcomes of subgroups in the U.S., benchmarked against two previous recessions. First, monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) data show greater declines in employment in April and May 2020 (relative to February) for Hispanics, younger workers, and those with high school degrees and some college. Between April and May, all the demographic subgroups considered regained some employment. Reemployment in May was broadly proportional to the employment drop that occurred through April, except for Blacks. Second, we show that job loss was larger in occupations that require more interpersonal contact and that cannot be performed remotely. Third, we show that the extent to which workers in various demographic groups sort (pre-COVID-19) into occupations and industries can explain a sizeable portion of the gender, race, and ethnic gaps in recent unemployment. However, there remain substantial unexplained differences in employment losses across groups. We also demonstrate the importance of tracking workers who report having a job but are absent from work, in addition to tracking employed and unemployed workers. We conclude with a discussion of policy priorities and future research needs implied by the disparities in labor market losses from the COVID-19 crisis that we identify.

15803. WIM | Technical Forecasting of Political Conflict (1:19:00)

Date:
2020-11-13
Main contributors:
Dr. Philip Schrodt
Summary:
Over the past couple of decades, technical models, both statistical, machine learning and combinations of these methods, for forecasting various forms of political conflict, including protest, violent substate conflict, and even coups, have become surprisingly common in policy and NGO communities, particularly in Europe, though not, curiously, in US academia. These methods, working with readily available, if noisy, open source data, use a number of familiar predictive analytical approaches such as logit models in the statistical realm and random forests in the machine learning, and consistently outperform human analysts. This talk will first review the current state of the field, with a particular emphasis on why current models work whereas prior to 2005 there was little consistent success with the problems, and then present some challenges that remain unresolved. The talk will assume familiarity with general social science quantitative approaches, but not with the details of specific technical approaches: lots of graphics, a couple tables, no equations.

15804. WIM | Text Mining in Python for Social Scientists (1:46:00)

Python packages: nltk, fuzzywuzzy, re, glob, sklearn, pandas, numpy, matplotlib

15805. WIM | Webscraping and APIs Using Python for Social Scientists (1:50:00)

Date:
2020-09-18
Main contributors:
Helge-Johannes Marahrens, Anne Kavalerchik
Summary:
In recent years, social scientists have increased their efforts to access new datasets from the web or from large databases. An easy way to access such data are Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). This workshop introduces techniques for working with APIs in Python to retrieve data from sources such as Wikipedia or The New York Times. It is intended for researchers who are new to working with APIs, but are familiar with Python or have completed the Introduction to Python workshop. Python is best learned hands-on. To side step any issues with installation, we will be coding on Jupyter Notebooks with Binder. This means that participants will be able to follow along on their machines without needing to download any packages or programs in advance. We do recommend requesting a ProPublica Congress API key in advance (https://www.propublica.org/datastore/api/propublica-congress-api). This allows participants to run the API script on their own machines. Helge-Johannes Marahrens is a doctoral student in the department of Sociology at Indiana University. He recently earned an MS in Applied Statistics and is currently working toward a PhD in Sociology. His research interests include cultural consumption, stratification, and computational social science with a particular focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP). Anne Kavalerchik is a doctoral student in the departments of Sociology and Informatics at Indiana University. Her research interests are broadly related to inequality, social change, and technology.

15831. Witt Lightning Talk (2019 Spring Symposium) (02:53)

Date:

Main contributors:
Alexis Witt, Institute for Digital Arts & Humanities
Summary:
As part of my PhD dissertation in Musicology,I am building a network graph (visualized using Gephi) of Russian émigré and traveling performers who toured the United States in the first half of the twentieth century. By visualizing these relationships in a graph, I more clearly define the extent to which these people are related while presenting these relationships in a way that is more useful and illustrative than prose text. The relationships that exist between the people in my study fall into six types: artistic (when individuals collaborate together for a performance or other creative enterprise), patron (when one individual is providing money or influence in support of another with no expectation of reciprocation), professional (when an individual is employed by another individual), family (marriages, family relationships), educational (teacher-student relationships), and personal (mutual acquaintances exclusive of artistic or professional endeavors). The graph frames a more nuanced reading of particular nodes in the artistic networks of New York City in the 1920s.

15836. Women and Citations in Jewish Studies (19:10)

Date:
2022-04-22
Main contributors:
Sarah Imhoff
Summary:
Women make up about half of Jewish Studies scholars, and they are 42% of tenure-track faculty at R1 universities. Yet in peer reviewed journals, women made up only about a quarter of cited authors. How can we understand this difference? How does it relate to other fields where bibliometric studies have shown gender gaps? Have there been substantial changes over the past four years, which could correspond with #MeToo and heightened interest in diversity in academic circles? This is not a “bad apple” problem: It can’t be true that each of the many dozens of male article authors independently has a problem of reading and citing fewer women. And if the problem is not just individual men, we will not arrive at the solution by designing strategies to change the citational habits of each individual man. The issue is clearly systemic and structural. This project uses bibliometric analyses of gender and Jewish studies scholarship to begin to answer these questions - as well as generate additional ones.
