Immigration Effects on Homicide Offending For Total and Race/Ethnicity-Disaggregated Populations (White, Black, and Latino) (2009, methodology): “…land; and police presence, as the number of full-time law enforcement officers/1,000 census place residents.5 Last, we include a control for racial/ethnic heterogeneity using a three-group (Black, White, and Latino) entropy index score calculated for each census place (Reardon & Firebaugh, 2002).”
Inaccurate Estimation of Disparities Due to Mischievous Responders (2014, methodology): “In such a case, w could incorporate the representativeness of the response options in a manner similar to the multigroup entropy index Theil’s H (Reardon & Firebaugh, 2002).”
Income Inequality and Income Segregation1 (2011, background): “…measures of segregation among unordered categorical groups, such as race or gender (see, e.g., Duncan and Duncan 1955; Taeuber and Taeuber 1965; James and Taeuber 1985; Reardon and Firebaugh 2002; Reardon and O’Sullivan 2004),12 methods of measuring income segregation are much less well developed.”
Exploring Student Achievement Gaps in School Districts Across the United States (2020, background): “…Americans (e.g., information index; Theil & Theil, 1972) and the economic inequality indicator of African Americans in schools (e.g., Gini index; Reardon & Firebaugh, 2002) as sociological factors that would contribute to an achievement gap even in the presence of similar educational…”
The Relative Importance of Income and Race in Determining Residential Outcomes in U.S. Urban Areas, 1970-2000 (2003, background): “The calculation of these measures and their properties are covered in detail in several review pieces (see Allison 1978; James and Taeuber 1985; Massey and Denton 1988; Reardon and Firebaugh 2002; and White 1986).”

Segregation and Inequality in Public Goods (2016, background): “To account for the alternative explanation that diversity drives down spending, the analyses include the proportion of the population that is Black, Asian, and Latino and overall Diversity.”
Measures of ordinal segregation (2009, methodology): “In this paper, I develop a new approach to the measurement of ordinal segregation that is derived from the variation ratio approach described in Reardon and Firebaugh (2002) and similar to that used in many of the income segregation papers referred to above.”

Entropy-Based Segregation Indices (2011, methodology): “In an occupational context, supergroups appear when different categories of female and male workers are aggregated into people of both genders of different age and/or educational attainment. and was later extended to the multigroup case by Reardon and Firebaugh (2002).”
