Pinelopi Koujinou Goldberg
Princeton University
Visiting Scholar
1998 to 1999
Pinelopi Koujinou Goldberg, assistant professor of economics at Princeton University, will investigate how the growth in international trade has affected American workers of different skill levels. Goldberg uses the exchange rate, which has varied considerably and is highly correlated with import prices, as a measure of trade levels, and draws parallels with changes in American wages and employment. She examines which workers have lost jobs and why, the relative length of unemployment, and the sources of new jobs.
Miriam Golden
University of California, Los Angeles
Visiting Scholar
2000 to 2001
Miriam A. Golden, professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles, will analyze the causes of political corruption in Italy from 1948 to 1994. In recent years, scholars have unveiled the networks of corruption in Italian politics, but they have not explained why such widespread corruption persisted in a relatively wealthy democracy.
Claudia Goldin
Harvard University
Visiting Scholar
1997 to 1998
Claudia Goldin, professor of economics at Harvard University, program director for the Development of the American Economy, and research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and Lawrence F. Katz, professor of economics at Harvard University and research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, conducted historical research into the impact of technological and educational developments on the American economy during the years 1910 to 1960.
Noreen Goldman
Princeton University
Visiting Scholar
2018 to 2019
Goldman and Anne Pebley will analyze longitudinal data on Latino health outcomes, focusing on how factors such as documentation status and occupational segregation affect the physical wellbeing of immigrants and native-born Latinos. They will also examine the extent to which the recession affected immigrants’ health and the extent to which the risk of deportation for undocumented individuals changed during the Obama administration.
Pilar Gonalons-Pons
University of Pennsylvania
Visiting Scholar
2021 to 2022
Gonalons-Pons will conduct the first comprehensive comparative study of the feminization and devaluation of paid and unpaid childcare and eldercare. Drawing on survey data on care work that covers 30 countries and spans four decades, she will examine how women came to perform most care work, leading to severe economic penalties for those who perform such work.
Colin Gordon
University of Iowa
Visiting Scholar
2022 to 2023
Gordon will work on a book examining racial restrictions on property in the city and county of St. Louis. He will use a mixed methods approach that combines archival work with property records, statistical analysis of race-restrictions in these records, and digital mapping of these restrictions to explore their origins, spread, and impact on racial and spatial inequality.
Linda Gordon
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Visiting Scholar
1997 to 1998
Linda Gordon, professor of History and Vilas Research Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, worked on a book manuscript entitled An Orphan Story: Family, Race and Vigilantism in Arizona, 1904. Drawing on a turn of the century conflict over cross-racial adoption near the Mexican-U.S. border, Gordon explored the construction of Mexican/Anglo racial prejudices and the eruption of vigilantism founded on attitudes of white moral superiority and good citizenship.
Janet C. Gornick
Graduate Center, City University of New York
Visiting Scholar
1999 to 2000
Janet C. Gornick, assistant professor of political science at Baruch College and the Graduate Center, CUNY, will author a book on public policies that support the employment of mothers with young children. The United States lags behind the rest of the industrialized world in providing child care services, family leave schemes, employment protection for part-time workers, and public school schedules that suit working mothers. Mothers are thus forced into unstable working patterns that may contribute to the strikingly high rates of child poverty in this country.
Heidi Gottfried
Wayne State University
Visiting Scholar
2025 to 2026
Gottfried and Ruth Milkman will examine the complexities of the fast-growing U.S. home care labor market. They will compare formal employment in the Medicaid-funded market segment, formal employment in the privately paid segment, and the 'gray market,' in which clients hire home care workers through informal networks and pay them directly. The project draws on original interviews and survey data collected by Gottfried and Milkman.
Marie Gottschalk
University of Pennsylvania
Visiting Scholar
2001 to 2002
Marie Gottschalk, assistant professor of political science at the University of Pennsylvania, will study the political factors behind the increase in mass imprisonment in the United States. While the incarceration rate in the United States remained remarkably stable for much of the twentieth century, it took a sharp upward turn in 1973, and it has increased by about 500 percent since then. Penal policies have also become far more restrictive, with punishment rather than rehabilitation as the stated goal.
Peter Gottschalk
Boston College
Visiting Scholar
1996 to 1997
Peter Gottschalk, professor of economics at Boston College, spent a semester at Russell Sage gathering material that would support his argument that technological change has been an important cause of the increasing inequality in the distribution of income. In new empirical work, he examined technological change in various industries, linking it with census data on employment and wage patterns in these industries.
Roger V. Gould
Yale University
Visiting Scholar
2001 to 2002
Roger V. Gould, professor of sociology at Yale University, will write a book on the structural origins of group violence. Gould's research suggests that violent behavior is not only an expression of deviant personality or cultural complexes but is also related to the overall structure of a relationship. Gould hypothesizes that violence is particularly likely to occur when parties have not clearly established who is dominant. While individuals assert rank by exhibiting courage or strength of character, groups claim rank through displays of cohesiveness.
Peter Gourevitch
University of California, San Diego
Visiting Scholar
2005 to 2006
Peter Gourevitch, Professor of Political Science at the University of California, San Diego, will write a book examining the differing levels of managerial oversight employed by institutional investors in four different countries. He will explore the incentives these financial institutions have to monitor managers and the political structures under which they operate. He will examine debates over minority shareholder protection, and the ways in which ideology, interest groups, and politics influence shareholder rights policies.
Ruth W. Grant
Duke University
Visiting Scholar
2009 to 2010
Ruth W. Grant, professor of political science and philosophy and senior fellow at the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University, will write a book exploring how incentives are related to the use and abuse of power in institutions, including an examination of the history of incentive systems and the ethical principles governing their use in various policy arenas.
Brian Gratton
Arizona State University
Visiting Scholar
2003 to 2004
Brian Gratton, professor of history at Arizona State University, will write a book describing the experience of a wide range of immigrant groups to the United States from 1850 to 2000. Using census data to trace the progress of ethnic groups over three generations, Gratton will search for possible ethnic differences in family structure, intermarriage, geographic settlement, and socioeconomic success. His preliminary analysis challenges the commonly held view that the most recent wave of Asian and Latino immigrants are not faring as well as earlier European immigrants.
Samuel Gross
University of Michigan
Visiting Scholar
2007 to 2008
Phoebe Ellsworth, Frank Murphy Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Law at the University of Michigan, and Samuel Gross, Thomas and Mabel Long Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School, will write a book investigating the causes and consequences of false convictions in criminal cases in the United States.
Herschel I. Grossman
Brown University
Visiting Scholar
2000 to 2001
Herschel I. Grossman, professor of economics at Brown University, will compare the usefulness of two competing visions of the state and the economic policies it pursues. The state can be conceptualized as an agent of the citizenry, allocating public resources according to the collective interest. Alternatively, the state can be thought of as an instrument of a ruling elite who claim the tax revenues of the state, much as the owners of a proprietary enterprise claim the profits.
Judith M. Gueron
Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation
Visiting Scholar
2004 to 2005
Judith Gueron, Outgoing President of the Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation, will author a book profiling the development of randomized trials as a tool in the assessment of social programs and an important factor in policy making, focusing specifically on evaluations of welfare reform programs. She will highlight the role played by Congress, the individual states, private philanthropy, and the MDRC in turning these demonstration projects from a stigmatized research design to a fundamental component in the construction of social policy.
Timothy Guinnane
Yale University
Visiting Scholar
2000 to 2001
Timothy W. Guinnane, professor of economics at Yale University, will write a book examining the history and logic of institutions that provided credit and insurance to poor people in Europe and America from the 18th century to the present. Drawing upon the economics of information, game theory, and contract theory, Guinnane will mount a systematic study of how poor people in different periods and places have managed risk. He will also explain why some of the early credit unions eventually became formal, profit-seeking institutions, while others remained non-profit.
