Project: Diffusion of names and social class

This repository contains code routines for the "diffusion of names and social classes in Chile" project. In the first instance, the code develops routines to:

  • Extract and relate historical data on the socioeconomic composition of the communes of Chile using census data and other alternative sources.

  • Carry out descriptive analysis and modeling (based on Social Network Analysis) that account for historical stratification trends.

Repository under development...

Random thought:

  • We could analyse the transitivity of name difussion across social clases.
  • A los Juanes, los oseses y las Marías les agregaría el segundo nombre y los trataría como nombre unitario. E.j., "Juan Pablo", "María Margarita".
  • Los graficos con top names podrian ser reemplazados con top names cada década y flujos entre ellas, para comunas selectas
