This paper investigates the effect of ethnolinguistic conflict on redistribution. The analysis focuses on the conflict arising between “peripheral” minority groups and a dominant “center”. We propose an index of linguistic conflict that (i) encompasses both diversity and polarization, and (ii) accounts for the distance between lanuguages. Our results suggest that linguistic diversity is a bette...

The genetic composition of the Lithuanian population was investigated by analysing mitochondrial DNA hypervariable region 1, RFLP polymorphisms and Y chromosomal biallelic and STR markers in six ethnolinguistic groups of Lithuanians, to address questions about the origin and genetic structure of the present day population. There were no significant genetic differences among ethnolinguistic grou...

Despite a burgeoning science of cultural evolution, relatively little work has focused on the population structure of human cultural variation. By contrast, studies in human population genetics use a suite of tools to quantify and analyse spatial and temporal patterns of genetic variation within and between populations. Human genetic diversity can be explained largely as a result of migration a...

Arguments about how ethnic diversity affects governance typically posit that groups differ from each other in substantively important ways and that these differences make effective governance more difficult. But existing cross-national empirical tests typically use measures of ethnolinguistic fractionalization (ELF) that have no information about substantive differences between groups. This art...

This study seeks to add the research on inequality in least developed countries, namely Mozambique, by measuring and mapping indicators of horizontal wealth along geographic regions ethnolinguistic identities. Using census data for 1997, 2007, 2017, we identify possible intersecting inequalities, between-group joint provincial–urban/rural–ethnolinguistic Additionally, find heterogeneous evoluti...

Question: The language-farming dispersal hypothesis postulates that the current biogeographic distribution of global ethnolinguistic diversity is due to prehistoric demic expansions of agricultural populations. Does human population size increase as diet is increasingly based on agriculture, and is this relation moderated by agricultural potential, as predicted by the language-farming dispersal...

Abstract The Swedish-speaking ethnolinguistic minority in Finland has a health advantage over the Finnish-speaking majority terms of lower levels sickness allowance and disability pension receipt. We examine whether this differential consequences within social security system by analysing long-term risk for after With longitudinal population-register data covering period 1989–2010, we observed ...
