The interdisciplinary paper, which also included an undergraduate’s research, uses computer simulations of streetscapes to explore what makes one sidewalk more walker-friendly than another. It builds on Tiemann’s interests and other work on street-level activity in cities, Scott’s methodological expertise developed while studying how visually-impaired pedestrians negotiate city streets, and Atkins’ experience with gathering data and conducting experiements with human subjects.

Using the American Time Use Survey, they estimate that about 6 percent of all adult women in the U. S. live in the suburbs and spend at least an hour a day in the car with their children. Compared with other suburban women with children, these “soccer moms” on average spend two hours a day more with their families (outside of the car), less time with friends, more time shopping and engage in more different activities during the day. Tiemann and DeLoach also found that there are significant numbers of urban women and suburban men who spend an hour or more a day in the car with children.

Elon economists Tina Das, Casey DiRienzo and Tom Tiemann have had their paper, “A Global Tolerance Index” accepted for publication by The Competitiveness Review, an international, reviewed journal concerned with competiveness issues. In this study, they constructed a country-level index of tolerance for 62 countries and used their index to find that more tolerant countries tend to attract more net migrants, have a greater concentration of talented workers, have higher levels of economic development, and are more competitive. Their work implies that firms needing to attract talented workers should toward more tolerant nations and develop work environments which encourage acceptance of differences. This paper extends the work of others, most notably Richard Florida, and is the first to include a sample of nations across the development spectrum.
