Benjamin Jarvis is an Associate Professor at Linköping University specializing in social mobility, residential mobility, and ethnic segregation through statistical models and simulations. His research primarily focuses on the dynamics of social production and reproduction within the context of residential segregation, examining how these factors interrelate with demographic events and resource inequalities. He investigates preferences in neighborhood compositions, residential migration behaviors, and the demographic processes resulting from these migrations. Furthermore, Jarvis employs discrete choice models and micro-simulation methods to reveal how individual-level preferences aggregate into broader social phenomena such as segregation and inequality. His work contributes to a deeper understanding of how residential patterns influence partnership formation and demographic choices, particularly in Sweden. He has published multiple papers on kinship effects in residential mobility, intra-generational occupational mobility, and the implications of stated versus revealed preferences in housing market choices.
