Trust and Gender in the Caucasus
I wrote a blog post a few weeks ago about interpersonal trust (using EBRD data). One of my arguments is that Azerbaijanis have very low interpersonal trust. After a conversation with a girlfriend, I had the idea to look at gender differences in trust as well. This is with CRRC data. First, without gender, you…

Material Deprivation in 2012
A few years ago I wrote a piece about measuring poverty in the South Caucasus. That paper ended with 2010, but I was talking about it with someone yesterday, so I did some quick 2012 updates. As far as monthly household income in 2012, the distribution hasn’t changed much since that 2010 paper, but you…

(Sarah Kendzior and I wrote a piece centered around this measure in 2012). It is an interesting way to ask a question in a vignette format. People are asked which statement they…

Let’s have a data party
Last year I wrote a blog post about triangulating different data sources. I used the example of mobile phone ownership and the ITU, Caucasus Barometer, and Gallup. In that post I said: “The point I’d like to make is that these statistics are complicated and it is hard to get at the “right” number. That’s…

Azerbaijan Gender Issues Online
In honor (?) of March 8, a blog post on gender… Last year I did quite a bit of work on gender and Internet in Azerbaijan. Here are two blog posts [1] [2]. Like in 2011, in 2012, there are almost no gender differences in Armenia or Georgia, so there is no need to write…
