“…The only significant sociodemographic differences in Ko et al’s study (2010) were: moderate symptomatic and high symptomatic classes tended to be comprised of younger individuals and those with lower income as compared to the other two classes. Adults in Brazil and United States have enormous differences regarding levels of educational attainment (Maia and Sakamoto, 2012), which possibly explains the differences between findings regarding educational attainment in our study and in Ko et al’s (2010) study. Only 19.1% of adult population in Brazil aged 16 and older have entered college compared to 62.0% in the U.S. (Maia and Sakamoto, 2012).…”

Background We aimed to identify different categorical phenotypes based upon the DSM-V criteria of alcohol use disorders (AUD) among alcohol users who had at least one drink per week in the past year (n = 948). Methods Data are from the São Paulo Megacity Mental Health Survey collected in 2005–2007, as part of the World Mental Health Survey Initiative. A latent class analysis of the 11 DSM-5-AUD criteria was performed using Mplus, taking into account complex survey design features. Weighted logistic regression models were used to examine demographic correlates of the DSM-5-AUD latent classes. Results The best latent-class model was a three-class model. We found a “non-symptomatic class” (69.7%), a “use in larger amounts class” (23.2%), defined by high probability (>70%) of the “use in larger amounts” criterion only, and a “high-moderate symptomatic class” (7.1%), defined by high-moderate probability of all the 11 AUD criteria. Compared to those in the non-symptomatic class, individuals in the “high-moderate symptomatic class” were more likely to have been married, have lower educational attainment and to be unemployed or in non-regular/informal employment. Those on the “use in larger amounts class” were more likely to have been married or never married. Conclusion The two symptomatic classes clearly represented the dimensionality of the new proposed AUD criteria, and could be more specifically targeted by different prevention or treatment strategies. DSM-5-AUD has the advantage of shedding light on risky drinkers included in the “use in larger amounts class”, allowing for preventive interventions, which will reach a large number of individuals.

“…These changes come from a unitary variation (when all other variables remain constant) in any of the explanatory variables, and they always occur in relation to the control category. Equation can also be expressed by linear Equation According to the literature, the interpretation of coefficient results of multinomial logistic regression is rarely used (Maia & Sakamoto, 2015). The dependent variable of Equation is the natural logarithm of the probability of success of a choice j and the probability of success of the control category (k).…”

Individuals’ socioeconomic and demographic characteristics have always impacted their occupation. However, few empirical studies with census data have researched how migration af- fects occupation. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the determining factors of occupation in migrants and non-migrants aged 15 to 60 years in Brazilian municipalities. The data are taken from 2000 and 2010 Brazilian Demographic Censuses. The literature is reviewed, and then multinomial logistic regressions are used. The results show that fixed-date inter-municipal migrants in Brazil experience worse forms of insertion in the labor market than non-migrants in both censuses under analysis.

“…Because the art market is a huge determinate of entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship positively correlates with regional economic success, policy implementation to destratify the occupational structure of the art market would be beneficial to the region. Inversely, the lack of diversification could be actively contributing to inequality within the area (Gori and Sakamoto, 2015). This policy could range from funding certain art industries to increasing community art events with the goal of spreading awareness.…”

The art market is a sector of the economy that holds great significance in terms of composition and economic impact. Information pertaining to the for profits of the market is often difficult to obtain, leading to a lack of research in the field. A Colorado based report explored the for profit arts of the state using EMSI data to overcome for profits lack of transparency. This report presented the art market of Colorado as having a major economic impact and served as a foundation for further case studies of the art economy within the nation. Additionally, though diversity in markets generally corresponds with economic success, the racial demographics within the art market as a whole show the market to be predominantly white. This paper consists of four sections specialized to answer the question, “To what extent does the makeup of the art economy of Erie, Pennsylvania correspond with regional success?”. First, I review the current literature regarding arts and their relationship with economics. The second section is developing a multi-pronged replicable methodology geared towards city level analysis that corresponds the makeup of a market to its economic impact. The third section analyzes the findings the methodology provides, and the final section explores the implications this study has in regards to the city investigated and others in the field of art economics moving forward.
