Statistical errors, faulty conclusions, misguided policy: reply to Weitzman
Article Abstract:
Lenore Weitzman used inaccurate estimates in her book, 'The Divorce Revolution,' in arriving at the conclusion that women and children end up economically disadvantaged after divorce. This erroneous findings resulted in distortion of arguments and discussions over no-fault divorce. She failed to inform the public that the data she had relied upon cannot be replicated because of problems with archive records.

The response covers the issues raised by Kenneth A. Bollen and Robert Jackman in "Income Inequality and Democratization Revisited: Comment on Muller."

These flaws invalidate the issues raised in their article as well as negate their own claims.
