       This book introduces new methods for measuring and 
       analyzing residential segregation. It begins by placing 
       all popular segregation indices in the "difference of 
       group means" framework wherein index scores can be 
       obtained as simple differences of group means on 
       individual-level residential attainments scored from area 
       racial composition. Drawing on the insight that in this 
       framework index scores are additively determined by 
       individual residential attainments, the book shows that 
       the level of segregation in a given city can be equated to
       the effect of group membership (e.g., race) on individual 
       residential attainments. This unifies separate research 
       traditions in the field by joining the analysis of 
       segregation at the aggregate level with the analysis of 
       residential attainments for individuals. Next it shows how
       segregation analysis can be extended by using multivariate
       attainment models to assess the impact of group membership
       (i.e., the level of segregation for a city) while 
       including controls for other relevant individual 
       characteristics (e.g., income, education, language, 
       nativity, etc.). It then illustrates how one can use these
       models to quantitatively assess the extent to which 
       segregation traces to impacts of group membership on 
       residential attainments versus other factors such as group
       differences in income. The book then shows how micro-level
       attainment models can be used to study macro-level 
       variation in segregation; specifically, by estimating 
       multi-level models of individual residential attainments 
       to assess how the effect of group membership (i.e., 
       segregation index scores) vary with city characteristics. 
       Finally, the book introduces refined versions of popular 
       indices that are free of the vexing problem of upward 
       bias. This improves the quality of segregation measurement
       directly at the level of individual cases and expanding 
       the number of cases that can be safely included in 
       empirical studies. .--|cProvided by publisher.
