ISBN: 9780882851396 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 405 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

African Americans, on average, are the poorest, most segregated, most...

Quantifying Neighbourhood Effects: Frontiers and Perspectives
ISBN: 9781138984356 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many policies in several Western European countries and the U.S. aim to counter spatial concentrations of deprivation and create more socio-economically mixed residential areas. Such policies are founded on the belief that neighbourhoods have a strong and independent effect upon the well-being and life-chances of individuals. The adequacy of the evidence base to support this position has been the subject of spirited debate on both sides of the Atlantic. The primary purpose of this book is to contribute to this policy-relevant discussion by presenting new scholarship from many countries...
