EXPLAINING EDUCATIONAL DIFFERENTIALS

Richard Breen, John H. Goldthorpe · 1 Aug 1997

In this paper we seek to provide an explanation of three widely documented empirical phenomena. These are: (i) increasing educational participation rates; (ii) little change in class differentials in these rates; and (iii) a recent and very rapid erosion of gender differentials in educational attainment levels.

Thus, environmental concern influences environmental behavior primarily in situations and under conditions connected with low costs and little inconvenience for individual actors. In a first step, we develop and specify this hypothesis. Referring to two…

The Consequences of Religious Market Structure

Laurence R. Iannaccone · 1 Apr 1991

Smith emphasized the importance of market structure, describing in detail the differences between state-sponsored religious monopolies and competitive religious markets.
