Session: Modelling and Visualising Inequality: Exploring Spatial, Regional and International Differences - Methodological Challenges and Innovations
Time: Tuesday 5th July, 15:45 - 17:15
Convenors:
Professor Susan McVie (AQMeN, University of Edinburgh)
Dr Ellie Bates (AQMeN, University of Edinburgh)
Abstract Details
It is well known that social processes and their outcomes are not identical across places but differ from country to country and from local area to local area. This leads to inequality between areas, as people's experiences and life chances differ according to where they live. In this session researchers from AQMeN showcase a mix of different methodological approaches which attempt to model and visualise this challenging problem: multilevel models including spatial multilevel models, latent class analysis and lexis surface latticeplots, with particular examples from: demographics, migration, crime, education, and segregation.
