Methods of Moments and Semiparametric Methods for Limited Dependent and Variable Models or Race Class Gender

Methods of Moments and Semiparametric Methods for Limited Dependent and Variable Models

Author: Myoung Jae J Le

The classical econometric approach to modelling has been to specify a model up to a finite-dimensional parameter vector, and estimation and testing techniques have been widely used on these finite-dimensional parameter spaces. In the last fifteen years or so, however, new methods have been developed to allow more flexible models which utilize infinite-dimensional parameters.

Race, Class, & Gender: Common Bonds, Different Voices

Author: Esther N L Chow

Published in cooperation with Sociologists for Women in Society How do race, class, and gender interrelate? How does the interlocking of race, class, and gender form patterns of social relations and develop into hierarchical orders? What are the dilemmas and contradictions created by the simultaneity of race, class, and gender? How can feminist scholarship based on the complex understanding of the interlocking nature of race, class, and gender transform our knowledge and social life? In Race, Class & Gender, an accomplished cast of contributors with a great diversity of backgrounds--ranging from sociology, African American studies, Chicano studies, ethnic studies, and gender studies--addresses these important issues and much more. This new anthology--significantly derived from a special issue of the journal Gender & Society--seeks to bring understanding to the complex intersections of race, class, and gender. The editors have chosen selections that take the study of race, class, and gender beyond their usual context--that of social stratification--and locate them in the wider sociological world. This informative volume's broad scope and interdisciplinary emphasis make it an invaluable contribution to the study of social organizations. Offering a comprehensive examination of race, class, and gender, this important volume will be vital to professionals and students in the fields of gender, sociology, race/ethnicity, social problems and theory, and it should appeal to the general public that seeks to enhance personal learning in this subject area.
