U-Shaped Trend in Various Dimensions of Inequality in the USA

Chapter Chapter 3 in New Methods for Measuring Inequality by Analyzing Assortative Mating, 2025, pp 41-55 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Instead of jumping to an analysis of sorting in the seven numerical examples of Chap. 2 or in any other setting, we first clarify what qualitative trend in sorting is plausible with respect to the USA over the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. While Chap. 4 will focus on the trend in racial segmentation, this chapter focuses on educational segmentation.
