Measuring site fidelity and spatial segregation within animal societies
Animals often display a marked tendency to return to previously visited locations that contain important resources, such as water, food, or developing brood that must be provisioned. A considerable body of work has demonstrated that this tendency is strongly expressed in ants, which exhibit fidelity to particular sites both inside and outside the nest. However, thus far many studies of this phe...
متن کاملSpatial Segregation in Demography: A Short Review
Abstract. Spatial has always been an inherent component of demography, and demographic processes are inherently spatiotemporal. Recognizing the importance of spatial in general and spatial segregation in particular in demographic analysis has created new positions in demography and its conceptual and analytical frameworks. The notion of spatial segregation refers to the distribution of social...
متن کاملA New Approach to Measuring Socio-Spatial Economic Segregation
In this paper we propose two measures of income segregation, the rank-order information theory index (HR), and the rank-order variation ratio index (HR). We propose spatially-explicit versions of these indices as well. These indices have several appealing features that remedy flaws in existing measures. First, they are relatively easy to compute, since they require simply computing a series of ...
متن کاملMeasuring Segregation∗
We propose a set of basic properties that any reasonable segregation index should have. We then fully characterize the class of segregation indices that satisfy these basic properties. We show that every such index has a particular simple form. Finally, we show that with one rarely used exception, each index defined in the literature violates one or more of our basic properties. Journal of Econ...
متن کاملMeasuring school segregation
Using only ordinal axioms, we characterize several multigroup school segregation indices: the Atkinson Indices for the class of school districts with a given xed number of ethnic groups and the Mutual Information Index for the class of all districts. Properties of other school segregation indices are also discussed. In an empirical application, we document a weakening of the e¤ect of ethnicity...
