Blau's 1977 book, Inequality and Heterogeneity, presents "a macro sociological theory of social structure" [6] where the foundation of his theory "is a quantitative conception of social structure in terms of the distributions of people among social positions that affect their social relations". [6]
Peter M. Blau (1918–2002) and Otis Duncan (1921–2004) were the first sociologists to isolate the concept of status attainment. Their initial thesis stated that the lower the level from which a person starts, the greater is the probability that he will be upwardly mobile, simply because many more occupational destinations entail upward mobility for men with low origins than for those with ...
Inequity aversion (IA) is the preference for fairness and resistance to incidental inequalities. [1] The social sciences that study inequity aversion include sociology, economics, psychology, anthropology, and ethology. Researchers on inequity aversion aim to explain behaviors that are not purely driven by self-interests but fairness ...
Francine Dee Blau (born August 29, 1946 in New York City) [2] is an American economist and professor of economics as well as Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University.

Judith was awarded a BA from the University of Chicago in 1964 and a MA, also from Chicago, in 1967, and a PhD in 1972, from Northwestern University. [1] Blau taught at Baruch College as an assistant professor from 1973 to 1976, held a post-doctoral fellowship at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1976–1978), taught at the State University of New York at Albany (1978–1982), and the ...
Lau and Murnighan identify what they call "faultlines" as a source of conflicts within groups. [2] As a supplement to traditional approaches of research that focused on diversity characterized by variance of demographic attributes across a population, [4] [5] faultlines are hypothetical dividing lines that split groups into multiple sets of subgroups with each set based on different attributes.
Under this condition, even heterogeneous preferences can be represented by a single aggregate agent simply by summing over individual demand to market demand. However, some questions in economic theory cannot be accurately addressed without considering differences across agents, requiring a heterogeneous agent model .
Biological inequity posits that health inequity in urban populations is a result of structurally racist processes executed through the built environment. Specifically, particular social groups are disproportionately exposed to physical and psychosocial stressors in the urban environment.
