Hypergamy Paper

This is part of a series. See the index here. In my post “Methodology,” I lamented how there was so little substantive evidence supporting the concept of hypergamy. The enthusiasm for the concept far outstrips the quality and quantity of the evidence supporting it. Most of the evidence exists in …

Methodology

I recently saw an article in which something caught my eye. Let’s see if you can see it too (hint: I highlighted it in bold). The author of this article is saying that one side says while the other side shows. These are critically different approaches. On Monday I posted this: One side says …
