Sabino Kornrich is a sociologist who studies inequality, gender, and the family in the United States and across developed countries. He is particularly interested in examining competing understandings of inequality and the family: whether these domains function according to economic or social rules, and how and they change over time.
His research on changing parental investments in children has been published in Demography and featured in the New York Times, the Economist, and the Atlantic. His other research on gender and inequality has been published in the American Sociological Review and the American Journal of Sociology. His newest projects examine how the rise of online dating has shaped matching in marriage and examine historical changes in the age at first marriage.
Courses Taught
Inequality is a fundamental issue with which every human society, past and present, has had to deal. This course explores why inequality occurs and why it matters, questions which have taken on critical importance in this time of deepening global inequalities. The course will approach these questions by considering inequality in comparative and historical perspective so that students will gain a deeper perspective on today's debates. While the course will focus on the wide-ranging consequences of inequality, particular emphasis will be placed on the relationship between inequality and government. How does governmental action influence inequality, and why? Does the presence of inequality influence what type of government is possible? To answer these questions the course will draw on sources from a range of academic disciplines including political science, history, economics, philosophy, and literature. However, no prior expertise in any of these areas will be required. By the end of the course students will be in a better position to formulate their own normative opinions about inequality while also understanding how it functions in practice.

This course covers how to analyze data and test theory from a practical perspective. The course begins with techniques for describing data and then moves to the basics of linear regression, a technique that allows researchers to ask how two variables are related to one another while controlling for other variables. The course explores how regression works as well as things that can go wrong with regression, examining diagnostics, errors and collinearity. The course also examines regression models for some special cases, such as yes/no dependent variables and special cases of data that are clustered, such as students located within the same schools. The course focuses on the interpretation of results, with particular emphasis on visualization to aid understanding of complex statistical models and nonlinear relationships, working with the statistical software R.
