NEW SSRC CENTER FOR COORDINATION OF RESEARCH ON SOCIAL INDICATORS OPENS IN WASHINGTON

A NEW Social Science Research Council program in the field of social indicators is to be inaugurated with the opening in Washington, D.C. on September 15, 1972 of the Center for Coordination of Research on Social Indicators.

The Center's purpose is to contribute to the develop­ment of a broad range of indicators of social change, in response to demands from both social science and policy communities over the past decade. Its role is to help organize the process by which this objective may be achieved. The Center will seek to stimulate, facilitate, and guide research on social indicators by providing a locus and source of information on research under way, and by encouraging communication among and between researchers and the broad constituency that has need for their output. The task is to encourage the applica­tion of the best social science methods to the problems of social indicators and to bring developments of po­tential significance to the attention of policy planners who can make use of them and statistical agencies that could assume responsibility for their regular production and analysis.

The staff of the Center will be directed by Robert Parke, Jr. and will be responsible to an SSRC Advisory and Planning Committee on Social Indicators. Otis Dud­ley Duncan will serve as chairman of the committee; other members will be announced. The Center is funded by a grant to the Council from the National Science Foundation.

A Washington location was selected by President Eleanor Sheldon in order to facilitate communication between the Center and the federal statistical and other agencies that form a considerable part of the constitu-

ency for social indicators, and agencies that support research in the social indicators field.

In the Center's first year the staff will establish per­sonal contacts with individual scholars, groups, and in­stitutes that are conducting research related to social indicators. These contacts, national and international, are expected to provide the basis for continuing coop­eration and communication, the procurement of rele­vant documents, and the interchange of proposals, plans, and thoughts about future activities. Published and unpublished documents describing past research and present projects will be assembled and catalogued; a periodic newsletter will be issued on current and pro­spective research. Concurrently, committee members, staff, and outside consultants will plan and conduct conferences on future research developments.

Mr. Parke, the Center's Director, is a social statistician and demographer. He was Deputy Director of the Na­tional Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, which last spring completed a two­year program of research and recommendations and issued its final report to President Nixon and the Con­gress. The Commission's report, Population and the American Future} has received wide acclaim as a com­prehensive and well-written social science analysis of the implications of population change in the United States.

Prior to his work for the Population Commission, Mr. Parke was a statistician in the Bureau of the Census. He served for ten years in the Bureau's Population Division, where he was responsible for the statistical program on marriage and the family and related topics, and subsequently served as a Bureau Program Planning

Officer. Mr. Parke has taught sociology at Muhlenberg College and Brown University. He received the M.A. degree in sociology from Columbia University, and has published several research reports on changes in mar­riage and the family in the United States.

STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELS

A CONFERENCE on Structural Equation Models, spon­sored by the Social Science Research Council, was held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on November 12-16, 1970. Seventeen social scientists attended the five-day meeting, which was cosponsored by the Univer­sity's Social Systems Research Institute.1

The background of the conference may be sketched as follows: In economics and educational psychology, formal stochastic models had long been used to analyze behavior. Specifically, "simultaneous equation models" were prominent in econometrics, and "factor analysis models" were prominent in psychometrics. The parallel development in sociology was of more recent origin and came in the form of "path analysis models." Related work had begun in political science as well.

The general approach had already been used in stud­ies of macroeconomic policy formation, intergener­ational occupational mobility, racial discrimination in employment and earnings, scholastic achievement, con­gressional voting behavior, evaluation of compensatory education programs, and many others. The relevant methodological literature referred not only to simul­taneous equations, factor analysis, and path analysis, but also to "linear causal models," "multitrait-multimethod matrices," "cross-lagged panel-correlations," "depend­ence analysis," "test-score theory," etc.

Behind the diversity of subject matter and terminolo­gy, several common elements could be discerned. One

related to nonexperimental data: the absence of labo­ratory conditions appeared to demand statistical proce­dures which could substitute for conventional experi­mental controls. A second related to latent variables: many of the models contained hypothetical constructs which, while not directly observed, had operational implications for relationships among observable vari­ables. A third related to systems: the models were typi­cally built up of several, or many, equations which interact together. With a little effort, it could be seen that all the approaches might be subsumed under the rubric of "causal," or (equivalently) "structural equa­tion," models on the understanding that a structural equation is one which is intended to depict a direct causal link rather than a mere empirical association. The statistical tools required to identify and estimate struc­tural equations were based upon, but considerably more sophisticated than, the familiar techniques of analysis of variance and multiple regression.

This, in broad measure, is the picture that emerged in discussions at an exploratory session on causal analy­sis held in January 1970 at the Council's New York office. The time seemed ripe for a consolidation of the work that had been done within the various disci­plines and for a clarification of the outstanding prob­lems. The Council thereupon invited a group actively engaged in research to participate in a more intensive Conference on Structural Equation Models.

Each participant prepared a report on his current work, methodological or empirical, with structural equa­tion models. Most of the papers were prepared and distributed in advance of the conference. Each paper was presented, and discussed critically, in an hour-and­a-half session during the conference. Throughout the discussions it was apparent that researchers from differ­ent disciplines were concerned with very similar analyti­cal problems, were tackling them in the same general spirit, and had some acquaintance with the methodo­logical literature of other disciplines. At the same time it was clear that each of the participants was gaining new insights, modes of analysis, and flexibility in the formulation of models by giving attention to the work of others.

A fairly large number of problem areas were worked through during the conference. Many of the papers provided significant contributions at the frontier of structural equation model-building. A selective sum­mary may serve to indicate this quality.

Identification. Characteristically, a causal model is formulated in terms of "structural parameters" which are supposed to generate the probability distribution of observable variables. Before attempting to estimate the structural parameters from a single finite sample of observations, it is essential to determine whether they could be estimated from an infinitely large sample of observations-i.e., whether the structural parameters are "identified" in terms of the population probability distribution. If they are not, then the single sample cannot possibly provide enough information to estimate the parameters. Econometricians have worked out the rules for identification in simultaneous equation models, and psychometricians have worked out the rules for identification in factor analysis models. At the confer­ence, progress was made toward developing the rules for identification in models that incorporate both simul­taneity and hypothetical constructs. Also, some detailed results were provided for identification in dynamic models with latent variables.

Estimation. An enormous variety of procedures have been developed for estimation of the parameters of structural models. The procedures span a wide range of models, statistical properties, and computational con­venience, but leave some cases untouched. At the con­ference new results were reported on estimation for simultaneous equation models with unobservable vari­ables. This opens up possibilities for handling empirical situations in which accurate measurement is unattain­able. Also, a useful procedure was presented for dealing with macroeconometric models based on short time series.

Model Revision. The statistical literature discusses significance tests in great detail, but offers surprisingly little guidance to researchers who wish to revise-rather than simply accept or reject-their causal hypotheses in the light of test results. Participants at the conference had new ideas on the way that conventional tests could be used as clues to defects in a structural model, and thus as guides to model revision. New results on dis­criminating among competing hypotheses in dynamic models were also reported.

Socioeconomic Achievement. The causal relationships among family background, education, occupation, and income have received considerable attention on the part of sociologists and economists. Drawing on fresh bodies of data and new estimation techniques, several partici­pants developed empirical models of these aspects of

SEPTEMBER 1972

socioeconomic achievement. The models focused vari­ously on motivation, perceptions, and ability as hypo­thetical constructs, whose implications for observable variables could be traced out only in the context of a carefully specified structural model.

Although the range of methodological and substantive topics covered was quite wide, the scope of the confer­ence was, in a sense, narrowly limited. Attention was confined to situations in which fairly well-developed causal theories are available and in which the objective of the empirical research is to confront the theories with data. Participants with diverse backgrounds worked with the same general principles of classical statistical inference and more specifically with the same general class of linear stochastic models. A critique of this con­ventional wisdom was presented, to the effect that the class of models was too restrictive to deal with the nonlinearities and goal-determined responses of some social processes.

Several other issues provoked little controversy. One of these concerned standardization of variables. In some fields, notably sociology, the common practice is to standardize the observations by adjusting them to pro­vide zero means and unit variances. Once this is done, the correlation coefficients become the primary input to regression-type analyses. In other fields, notably eco­nomics, one retains the data in raw form and thus works with the variances and covariances rather than correlation coefficients. While these conflicting practices may create confusion in communicating results, no issue of principle is involved. The form of the data­standardized or unstandardized-is a matter of conven­tion, at least as far as the analysis of a single body of data is concerned. Parameter estimates obtained with standardized data can be translated into those that would have been obtained with unstandardized data, and vice versa. At the conference there was also a consensus (perhaps not unanimous) that unstandardized results are more likely to be comparable across different samples.

The second such issue concerned path analysis as a distinct statistical procedure. The technique of path analysis, developed over 50 years ago by the geneticist Sewall Wright, has been widely adopted by sociological model-builders. It features a diagrammatic display of the structural equations from which estimating equa­tions can be read off in accordance with certain rules set out by Wright. This approach has certain clear ad­vantages in terms of compact representation of the assumptions and directions of causality in a structural equation model. Furthermore, the use of path analysis has facilitated the introduction of latent variables into structural models. It is now clear, however. tliat the

27

Page 4: Items Vol. 26 No. 3 (1972)

models handled graphically in path analysis can be handled algebraically in the framework of stochastic linear models. Indeed, the algebraic treatment is re­quired so that one can fully exploit statistical techniques. Consequently, path analysis is best viewed as a heuristic aid, rather than as a distinct procedure for statistical inference. In a similar vein it was found that the prob­lems posed in the cross-lagged panel correlation approach yielded to rigorous analysis with linear models.

Over the course of the past year-and-a-half, the papers have been thoroughly reworked in response to discus­sion at the conference and to editorial comments. The finished manuscript has just been submitted to Seminar Press, and publication of Structural Equation Models in the Social Sciences: Proceedings of a Conference, edited by Arthur S.

USES OF COMPUTER SIMULATION IN HUMAN POPULATION STUDIES:

OVER the past decade, a small but growing number of workers in anthropology, demography, and human popu­lation genetics have been developing computer simu­lation models of human populations. Although such models have been used for diverse purposes, certain common characteristics are evident: social, demographic, and biological parameters and their interactions are implicit in most models; and no matter what the pur­pose of the simulation, there appears to have developed a remarkable similarity in the computer programs and basic decision techniques involved.

A CONFERENCE REPORT by Bennett Dyke and Jean W. MacCluer ,..

Simulation models are usually so complex that in­vestigators cannot publish their techniques in detail, but it has become apparent from conversations at pro­fessional meetings and from reading between the lines of published results that a number of similar (perhaps identical) problems have been encountered and either independently solved or dismissed at the expense of considerable duplicated time and effort. Because of the small number of workers using simulation in human population studies and their varied professional special­ties, it has been difficult to exchange useful information at conferences and at meetings of the larger associ­ations. For example, even within anthropology, those doing simulation studies of kinship and of gene flow may not be aware of each other's work. The conference was intended to provide a critical audience for the dis­cussion of simulation models and their results, and to disseminate information otherwise difficult to transmit.1

1 Participants in the conference, in addition to the organizers, were: John C. Barrett, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; Alice M. Brues, University of Colorado; Alice S. Clague, Columbia University; Frank Godley, National Center for Health Statistics; Eugene A. Hammel, University of California, Berkeley; Gerhard J. Hanneman, University of Connecticut; Ivar Heuch, and John C. Holland, Uni-

Most of these models are of the "microsimulation" type-that is, decisions about life-cycle events are made for each individual in the artificial population, as dis­tinct from "macrosimulation" where decisions are made for aggregates. Decision making is customarily done by a Monte Carlo process: a random number is generated by the computer and is compared with a given proba­bility distribution in order to determine the occurrence or nonoccurrence of an event. In the microsimulation case, for example, a decision as to whether a pregnancy will terminate with the birth of a boy or a girl can be made simply by generating a random number between zero and one; if the number is less than 0.5 (assuming a sex ratio equal at birth) the child will be a girl, if greater than 0.5, it will be a boy. This type of decision making can be done for any kind of event-birth, mar­riage, death, etc.-throughout the life of the individual, a new random number being generated each time an independent decision is to be made. Limits on numbers of individuals in a population for which life·cycle events can be simulated are imposed by the size and speed of present computers, and to a lesser extent by the in­genuity of the programmer.

Although simulation models do not give as elegant solutions as some analytical techniques used in the study of social, demographic, and genetic systems, they have certain advantages. Extreme oversimplification can be avoided, since a large number of parameters can be specified in the computer program. Moreover, combined results of repeated simulation trials can give distribu­tions of various population measures without requiring difficult mathematical solutions. To the extent that com­puter models can provide analogues of those processes or phenomena in which the investigator is interested, simulation offers the opportunity of using what amounts to experimental methods on human populations.

tion of contributed papers. The conference opened with general comments on the uses and limitations of simu­lation by MacCluer, who reviewed the types of problems that can be investigated using simulation, and by John C. Holland, who discussed a number of methodological difficulties often encountered in applying simulation to research problems.

The first session of contributed papers, chaired by Eugene A. Hammel, was devoted to anthropology and social systems. Hammel and David Hutchinson pre­sented the results of their experiments with the effect of incest and exogamy rules on population growth. Kenneth Morgan gave a detailed statistical analysis of a set of simulation runs based on Ramah Navaho popu­lation structure. Dyke discussed the use of simulation in estimating changing fertility rates over a 50-year period in a Caribbean isolate. Nancy Howell-Lee out­lined the difficulties of making demographic measures of primitive populations, and suggested where simula­tion might be used for such purposes. Anthony V. Wil­liams presented the results of a simulation study of urban emergency services; and Gerhard J. Hanneman, an application of a simulation model to the spread of information to small cliques in a peasant society.

In a session on simulation methodology B. V. Shah, the chairman, contrasted simulation with analytic solu­tions, in terms of time, difficulty, and cost. Peter Kun­stadter pointed out that in using simulation models, the experimenter is constantly confronted with the question of the validity of his assumptions about popu­lation and social structure, and that these assumptions are critical for meaningful results.

Hannes Hyrenius chaired a session of contributed papers on the uses of simulation in demographic re­search. He reviewed the experience of the Gothenburg group with fertility and labor force models. Henri Leri­don presented research by Albert Jacquard and Leridon on the use of simulation to determine the degree of complexity necessary to represent demographic phe­nomena with sufficient accuracy. Daniel G. Horvitz gave the results of an evaluation made by Horvitz, A. V. Rao, R. C. Bhavsar, and J. R. Batts of a number of family planning programs for India, using the North Carolina simulation program, POPSIM; Alexa M. Sorant presented a modification of POPSIM made by Peter A. Lachenbruch, Mindel C. Sheps, and Sorant, which can be used to show the effects of such problems as mis­reporting of dates in the estimation of fertility. Jeanne Clare Ridley and Alice Clague discussed the use of simulation in assessing alternative methods of estimating births averted by family planning.

John C. Barrett showed, both by simulation and ana­lytically, how the introduction of contraception in a

29

Page 6: Items Vol. 26 No. 3 (1972)

population causes rapidly damped oscillations in subse­quent fertility rates. Kenneth W. Wachter discussed the use of simulation in the historical demography of seven­teenth century England; and James Pick presented a model of national migration developed by Arthur Boughey and Pick.

In a session on simulation languages. random number generation. and Monte Carlo techniques. William M. Stiteler demonstrated the generation of statistical dis­tributions for simulation purposes. and James M. Sa­koda presented the application of DYSTAL, a series of FORTRAN subprograms. to computer simulation. F. Paul Wyman compared the advantages of two special-purpose simulation languages, SIMSCRIPT and DYNAMO.

The final session, devoted to genetics and adaptive systems, was chaired by William J. Schull. Alice M. Brues presented the results of a simulation of geographi­cal distribution of gene frequencies as the result of differential rates of gene flow and selection. Newton E. Morton outlined a model of the genetic structure of a population using the analysis of kinship; and David Rossmann reported on his work with Schull using a simulation model to evaluate the effect of recessive lethal mutations on the birth interval. Holland showed the effect on rates of evolution, when coadapted linkage groups, as opposed to single genetic loci, are taken into

account. Mark H. Skolnick described the results of a simulation program developed with C. Cannings that can be used to investigate the effect of mating systems on genetic and demographic structure. MacCluer showed the effects of incest avoidance on various genetic and demographic measures in model populations. Francis H. F. Li presented the results of his simulation experiments on the survival of single mutant genes.

Most investigators working in these fields are careful to incorporate social, demographic, and biological pa­rameters in their models, and are aware of the impor­tance of interactions of these factors. It was apparent that considerable similarity exists in the basic method­ology of the models presented at the conference. N one­theless, the variety of problems to which simulation has been applied and the diversity of interests of the in­vestigators had been underestimated by most of the partici pants.

The long time required to develop programs and the considerable computer expense involved in such studies may eventually be overcome with special simulation languages and a new generation of computer hardware. However, even at this point in the state of the art, rich possibilities for the understanding of human population structure, whether the focus be social, demographic, or biological, are beginning to be realized.
