Fear Not Scarcity but Inequality, Not Poverty but Instability

Abstract

This special issue, “New Quantitative Approaches to Studying Social Inequality”, aims to present some of the latest methodological innovations that arise from new analytical methods, innovative study designs, and novel and large-scale data that are particularly useful for studying social inequality. The articles included in the special issue not only showcase methodological innovations but also share the common theme that social inequalities are often interconnected across domains of life, time, space, or different policies.
