Measuring neighbourhood effects
ESRC Research Methods Programme Seminar
to be held at Royal Statistical Society, London
21 November 2003
This meeting is designed to discuss methods of measuring
neighbourhood/area-level effects. The importance of area effects is
well recognised as influential across the social sciences (e.g. the
influence of neighbourhood on voting preferences, social inequality,
unemployment, health inequalities). There is, therefore, a great deal
of interest and expertise across disciplines. In addition, there is
considerable policy interest in understanding how locality effects
work. However, there are very considerable problems in measuring
these effects, for example, questions of the appropriate spatial level
and issues of endogeneity.
This meeting will bring together experts across disciplines to
discuss and debate alternative approaches.
