This book addresses the disparities that arise when measuring and
modeling societal behavior and progress across the social sciences.
It looks at why and how different disciplines and even researchers
can use the same data and yet come to different conclusions about
equality of opportunity, economic and social mobility, poverty and
polarization, and conflict and segregation. Because societal
behavior and progress exist only in the context of other key
aspects, modeling becomes exponentially more complex as more of
these aspects are factored into considerations. The content of this
book transcends disciplinary boundaries, providing valuable
information on measuring and modeling to economists, sociologists,
and political scientists who are interested in data-based analysis
of pressing social issues.
