Breaking the ‘Class’ Ceiling? Social Mobility into Britain's Elite Occupations (2015, unknown): “Drawing on US surveys with large sample sizes, these authors demonstrate that distinctive differences in mobility exist between occupational groups, which they argue should subsequently be understood as ‘microclasses’ (Weeden et al., 2007; Jonsson et al., 2009; Weeden, 2002; Weeden and Grusky, 2005)”
The Three Worlds of Inequality1 (2012, background): “Although income gaps between big classes and microclasses have both grown, the gaps between microclasses are growing at a faster rate (Weeden et al. 2007) and should generate correspondingly large consumption gaps at the microclass level.6 As the earnings of stockbrokers, for example, pull away…”
Overwork and the Slow Convergence in the Gender Gap in Wages (2014, background): “Overwork is more concentrated among highly educated, professional, and managerial workers (Kuhn and Lozano 2008); these workers experienced the greatest wage growth in the past 35 years (Weeden et al. 2007).”
Social status, cognitive ability, and educational attainment as predictors of liberal social attitudes and political trust (2010, background): “People at the lower level of the social hierarchy are normally financially less well off compared with those who are at higher levels (Weeden et al., 2007), and tend to have less trust in the democratic political system which is meant to provide equality of life chances (Wilkinson & Pickett, 2009).”
Is a College Degree Still the Great Equalizer? Intergenerational Mobility across Levels of Schooling in the United States1 (2011, background): “Not surprisingly, a large part of economic inequality occurs within them (Weeden et al. 2007; Kim and Sakamoto 2008).”
The Rise of Intra-Occupational Wage Inequality in the United States, 1983 to 2002 (2008, background): “All opinions expressed herein are the sole responsibility of the authors. inequalities (DiPrete 2005; Kalleberg and Mouw 2006; Weeden et al. 2007).”
How to find an appropriate clustering for mixed‐type variables with application to socio‐economic stratification (2013, background): “The main contention is whether the stratification structure is composed of a few big-classes or many micro-classes (Grusky, 2005; Weeden and Grusky, 2005; Weeden et al., 2007).”
The Payoff to Skill in the Third Industrial Revolution1 (2013, background): “This result is now well established ðe.g., Mouw and Kalleberg 2010; Weeden et al. 2007; Acemoglu and Autor 2012Þ.”
Occupations and the Structure of Wage Inequality in the United States, 1980s to 2000s (2010, methodology): “Although most studies using CPS data routinely exclude all cases with missing data (e.g., Autor et al. 2006; Lemieux 2006a; Weeden et al. 2007), it is possible that some occupations are more likely than others to have missing data.”
