ECIN Replication Package for Unequal Hiring Wages and their Impact on the Gender Pay Gap. (ICPSR 304158)
Released/updated on: 2026-04-08
Time period: 2004-01-01--2019-01-01
National payroll data from Great Britain reveal that men are paid more than women
upon entry into firms. Although this hiring wage gap has narrowed over the past two
decades, it still accounts for more than two-thirds of the steady-state gender pay gap – the
wage gap that would eventually prevail under constant employment levels. We find that
a significant part of this hiring wage gap is not explained by men and women working in
different firms and occupations. Even when a firm hires men and women into the same
specific occupation at roughly the same time, and accounting for previous work experience,
there remains an unexplained hiring wage gap within jobs that favours men by 2.4 log
points. These findings suggest that gender pay gap reporting laws that focus exclusively
on the overall gaps within employers miss an important margin.

Negro Political Participation Study, 1961-1962 (ICPSR 7255)
Released/updated on: 2006-08-15
Geographic coverage: North Carolina, Mississippi, United States, Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Virginia, Arkansas, South Carolina
Time period: 1961-01-01--1962-01-01
This study was designed to investigate patterns of
political participation among adult Blacks in the South. All
interviews were taken in the former confederate states: Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Along with a Black
adults sample (Part 2), a sample of White adults (Part 3) was included
as a control group for comparison and a sample of Black students (Part
1) was interviewed with an aim to projecting trends in participation
patterns. Variables ascertained voting behavior, political discussion,
degree of political organizational activity, participation in
demonstrations, and communication with public officials as modes of
political participation. Respondents' views on Black leadership,
effectiveness of Black organizations, attitudes of White leaders and
officials, the effect of electoral laws on Black participation,
perceptions of the major parties, party identification, and feelings
on race relations were also assessed. The questions asked of both
adult samples are identical, and the data may be used for comparative
purposes. Demographic data include age, sex, level of education,
primary and secondary occupations, religious preference, and family
income.

Racial Neighborhood Inequality in the United States, 1980-2010 (ICPSR 36626)
Released/updated on: 2016-11-03
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1980-01-01--2010-01-01
This project examined economic differences in the neighborhoods where whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians live in the U.S. Although it is commonly believed that blacks and Hispanics generally live in neighborhoods where poverty rates are higher than they are in the neighborhoods where whites and Asians live, very little research has tracked the change in racial disparities in neighborhood conditions over time. In prior research, this project's investigators found that racial differences in neighborhood economic conditions have diminished in the U.S. Since 1980 the decline in racial neighborhood inequality has been much faster than the decline in racial residential segregation. Because prior research on neighborhoods has focused on change in the residential segregation of different racial and ethnic groups, the trend in racial neighborhood inequality has been largely overlooked, and its causes are unknown. The objective of this project is to account for the decline in racial neighborhood inequality by investigating why it has declined faster in some metropolitan areas than in others.

RAND Center for Population Health and Health Disparities (CPHHD) Data Core Series: Segregation Indices, 1990-2000 [United States] (ICPSR 27863)
Released/updated on: 2011-05-13
Geographic coverage: North Carolina, Indiana, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Kentucky, California, Kansas, Florida, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, Idaho, Oregon, Vermont, Puerto Rico, United States, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Maine, Alabama, Arkansas, Washington, South Carolina, Nebraska, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Colorado, Missouri, Alaska, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Nevada, New York, District of Columbia, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Hawaii, Minnesota, New Jersey, Michigan, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Ohio
Time period: 1990-01-01--2000-01-01
The RAND Center for Population Health and Health Disparities (CPHHD) Data Core Series is composed of a wide selection of analytical measures, encompassing a variety of domains, all derived from a number of disparate data sources. The CPHHD Data Core's central focus is on geographic measures for census tracts, counties, and Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) from two distinct geo-reference points, 1990 and 2000. The current study, Segregation Indices, has cross-sectional and longitudinal data sets, containing a number of non-spatially sensitive segregation indices based on the main Decennial Census. These indices are considered non-spatial in that the indices did not take into account any spatial relationships of the geographical entities (i.e., distances apart, clustering within, spatial concentrations, etc.), only association of tracts with either County and/or MSA. In addition, the data are summarized at two different geographic levels: County (Geographic) and MSA (Geographic). The data consist of 11 different segregation indices, with several different binary indicators, and a 5-race indicator. Measures include: Normalized Simpson Interaction Diversity Index, Entropy Diversity Index, Dissimilarity Segregation Index, Gini Segregation Index, Information Theory Segregation Index, Squared Coefficient of Variation Segregation Index, Relative Diversity Segregation Index, N-group Normalized Exposure Segregation Index, Exposure Index, Isolation Index, and 2-group Normalized Exposure Index.

Segregation Data, United States, 1890-2000, 2010 (ICPSR 38765)
Released/updated on: 2023-04-04
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1890-01-01--2000-01-01
Segregation is the physical separation of members of one racial, ethnic, social, or economic group from members of another group. This dataset measures the segregation of blacks from non-blacks. The segregation data come from decadal Census data spanning the years of 1890 to 2010. In addition to the segregation data, there is also supplemental city/metropolitan area data and the original ward and tract data that can be used to construct the indices.
Segregation---Indices-of-Clustering--Concentration--and-Centralization: These indices require information on latitude and longitude of each census tract and are available only for 1990.
Segregation---Indices-of-Dissimilarity-and-Isolation: Indices of dissimilarity and isolation. The "allseg" file includes all years 1890-1990. Supplemental-Data: The "allsup" file includes supplemental data for all years 1890-1990.

Sit-ins and Desegregation in the U.S. South in the Early 1960s (ICPSR 35630)
Released/updated on: 2015-05-08
Geographic coverage: Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland
Time period: 1960-01-01--1961-01-01
This study examines the causes and consequences of sit-ins in the American South. It was motivated by four questions: (1) Why did sit-ins occur in some cities rather than others in the spring of 1960? (2) Did movement organizations grow faster where sit-ins occurred? (3) Why did desegregation occur in some cities but not others in 1960-1961? (4) Was desegregation more likely where sit-ins occurred? To answer these questions, data was collected on cities in the states of the former Confederacy plus Maryland, Kentucky, and West Virginia. All urban places with a population of at least 10,000 and a Black population of at least 1,000 are included. These provide the 334 observations. Variables include dates of sit-in protest and of the desegregation of lunch counters, social and economic characteristics from the 1960 Census, geographical location, Civil Rights organizations, newspaper circulation, and athletic affiliations of Black colleges.
