Please share this paper if you're interested in criminal justice research, disparities research, &/or causal inference methods!

We hope it will help to settle many methodological arguments and maybe - one day - lead to a fairer criminal justice system.

NEW PREPRINT by CREST Sociology's Julia Nicolas: "Language Barriers and Healthcare Uptake. Causal Evidence From Immigrants in France"

AVAILABLE at @socarxiv.bsky.social: doi.org/10.31235/osf...
Immigrants often arrive with better health than natives of their host country, a phenomenon known as the ‘healthy immigrant effect.’ This advantage diminishes over time, one reason being unequal healthcare access. Our study examines whether communication barriers contribute to these inequalities in a healthcare system that rarely accommodates an increasingly diverse and multilingual population. We expect that limited French proficiency restricts equitable access to care. Using the Trajectoires et Origines 2 survey conducted in 2019 in France among over 27,000 individuals---oversampling immigrant-origin populations---we investigate how language shapes healthcare use. France provides a relevant case, as immigrants come from diverse origins, including former colonies where French is an official language, generating substantial variation in proficiency. Findings show significant language-related disparities in medical visits, except for generalist practitioners. To address possible endogeneity bias in the relationship between language and healthcare uptake, we construct an instrument combining age at arrival in France and linguistic distance between French and the mother tongue. This method reveals a significant language effect only for visits to psychologists or psychiatrists. Theoretically, we propose a quantitative strategy to assess language barriers’ effects on immigrants’ healthcare access. Practically, we highlight the need for linguistically inclusive health services.

The Ruhrgebiet, once Europe’s largest industrial region, mined coal from the 13th century. By 1956 it employed almost half a million people, but within two decades the workforce had shrunk by two thirds. The last mine closed in 2018.

It's quite absurd that there is no funding to keep ParlGov updated: this is essential data infrastructure for political science! No funder is interested in keeping the data backbone of comparative politics alive, while millions get spent on all kinds of BS. Ridiculous!

Our study on public immigration misperceptions is out! Prior research overstated their prevalence due to flawed measurement. Our new approach separates real misperceptions from uninformed guessing — showing they’re less common than widely assumed and ideologically motivated.
