Thesis (Ph.D.)--Northwestern University, 2003.

This dissertation aims first to examine the ways in which standard analytical strategies result in a statistical privileging of certain groups within these countries and second to be an empirical examination of autonomy in Germany and the U.S. To do this two lines of comparison are used: the differences and similarities in the gender policy regimes across Germany and the U.S., and the gender differences within status groups (structurally defined groups based on race, citizenship and class). I examine marriage and divorce in Germany and the United States from 1980 to 2000. My substantive interest in these transitions centers on the capacity of women and men to make life changes freely and deal with the consequences of those changes.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation aims first to examine the ways in which standard analytical strategies result in a statistical privileging of certain groups within these countries and second to be an empirical examination of autonomy in Germany and the U.S. To do this two lines of comparison are used: the differences and similarities in the gender policy regimes across Germany and the U.S., and the gender differences within status groups (structurally defined groups based on race, citizenship and class). I examine marriage and divorce in Germany and the United States from 1980 to 2000. My substantive interest in these transitions centers on the capacity of women and men to make life changes freely and deal with the consequences of those changes.
520 $a I identify three factors contributing to statistical privilege in quantitative analyses. The first is researchers' use of a de facto unit of analysis. Units of analysis are often discipline-specific and data-driven rather than theoretically informed. The second factor is a combination of the role of limited diversity, concern for representativeness, and the research goal of generalizability. The social world is not randomly distributed and certain configurations are more common than others. The resulting limited diversity is often obscured by modeling broad trends for a large, heterogeneous population. The final factor is compositional control. Standard statistical controls assume that covariates are uniformly distributed across the outcome of interest; however, there are often compositional differences across groups that translate into significant differences in empirical outcomes. Thus controls often obscure the substantive differences in the composition within a population.
520 $a Welfare state regimes play a role in shaping individuals' autonomy from labor markets and familial dependencies, and in shaping the classification schemes structuring interaction. My empirical design allowed for comparison across gender policy regimes as well as within the regimes. By considering status groups as an intermediate structurally determined level of analysis, I find substantial variation within regimes. My empirical results demonstrate that status group membership plays a significant role in economic outcomes following marital transitions. In addition, the results demonstrate that aggregate analyses contribute to a statistical privileging of some groups over others.
