A six-university team hosted by Centers for the study of economic sociology and social inequality associated with the Sociology Departments at Cornell, University of California at Berkeley, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford and the University of Wisconsin that share outstanding reputations and strong track records in economic sociology and related specialties will complete research on the causes and consequences of this historic economic crisis. The recession itself presents a fundamental challenge to the economic sociology of efficient markets and to conventional understandings of concepts like risk and trust that are central to all of the social sciences. It is also likely to have important effects on social inequality -- not just inequality in income, but in economic behaviors like savings, job-hunting, and investments in education, as well as such outcomes as health and wellness, fertility and divorce, and criminal victimization. The project will support twelve postdoctoral research fellows who will work with faculty at the six universities to complete independent research while receive training and mentoring, that will cast light on the causes of the crisis and its impact on social inequality and on U.S. institutions. Broader Impact: The research will help to inform our understanding of the social consequences of the recession. Specifically, the project will bring a sociological perspective to three pressing questions: (1) how did the financial crisis happen, (2) what are the social consequences of the recession, and how is its impacts distributed, and (3) what are the policy responses to the economic crisis and what are their consequences? The project will also provide a career development opportunity for a diverse set of new Sociology Ph.D.s at a time of declining endowments in the private university sector and declining tax revenues in the states. By providing a footing for a group of young scholars and enabling them to contribute to our understanding of the very crisis that has challenged the labor market into which they are moving, the investigators hope to prevent the loss of talent that the field has experienced in previous severe recessions, and to ensure that graduate-training institutions have a robust and consistent pipeline of new talent as faculty hired in the 1970s and 1980s move towards retirement.

摘要SES-0957962 KAREN S.厨师David David Grusky Stanford Stanford University SES-0957200 Victor Nee Kim Weeden Cornell University SES-0957900 Paul Dimaggio Princton University SES-0957923 Bruce Bruce Bruce Western Harvard Universit威斯康星州麦迪逊分校的乔尔·罗杰斯（Joel Rogers）美国和世界经济目前正处于自大萧条以来最广泛，最激烈的衰退。由六级大学团队由中心主持的经济社会学和社会不平等研究中心与康奈尔大学，加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校，哈佛大学，普林斯顿，斯坦福大学和威斯康星大学的社会学系相关，它们具有出色的声誉和强大的经济学社会和相关专业的良好往绩，并将对这种历史悠久的经济和相关的专业经济进行研究。经济衰退本身对有效市场的经济社会学以及对所有社会科学至关重要的风险和信任等概念的常规理解提出了基本挑战。它也可能对社会不平等产生重要影响 - 不仅在收入上不平等，而且对诸如储蓄，求职和对教育的投资等经济行为以及健康，健康，生育能力和离婚以及刑事受害的结果。该项目将支持十二名博士后研究研究员，他们将与六所大学的教师合作，在接受培训和指导的同时完成独立的研究，这将阐明危机的原因及其对社会不平等和美国机构的影响。更广泛的影响：这项研究将有助于告知我们对经济衰退的社会后果的理解。具体而言，该项目将为三个紧迫的问题带来社会学观点：（1）金融危机是如何发生的，（2）经济衰退的社会后果是什么，其影响是如何分布的，（3）政策对经济危机的反应是什么？该项目还将在私立大学部门的捐赠基金下降并在各州减少税收收入下降时为各种新的社会学博士学位提供职业发展机会。通过为一群年轻的学者提供立足点，并使他们能够为我们的危机的理解做出贡献，挑战了他们所搬家的劳动力市场的挑战，调查人员希望防止该领域在以前的严重衰退中所经历的人才丧失，并确保研究生培训机构具有强劲而稳定的新人才能努力养成新的人才，并努力养成1970年代，并在1970年代进行了1970年代的发展。
