Firebaugh is best known for his contributions to statistical methods and for his research on global inequality. His publications are highly cited by other social scientists.<ref>Social Sciences Citation Index, accessed through ISI Web of Science (Thomson-Reuters).</ref>
 
==Major Contributions==
 
=== Rules for Social Research ===
 
Firebaugh summarizes the principles for good research in his book Seven Rules for Social Research.<ref>Firebaugh, Glenn (2008). Seven Rules for Social Research. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press.</ref>  The first rule is that “There should be the possibility of surprise in social research.” Good research also will “look for differences that make a difference” (Rule 2) and “build in reality checks” (Rule 3). Rule 4 advises researchers to replicate, that is, “to see if identical analyses yield similar results for different samples of people” (p.&nbsp;90). The next two rules urge researchers to “compare like with like” (Rule 5) and to “study change” (Rule 6); these two rules are especially important when researchers want to estimate the effect of one variable on another. The final rule, “Let method be the servant, not the master,” reminds researchers that methods are the means, not the end, of social research; it is critical from the outset to fit the research design to the research issue, rather than the other way around.
 
===Firebaugh’s general equation for inequality indices===
Inequality indices are scalar measures designed to quantify the degree of inequality in distributions of some valued good, such as income. Researchers often use inequality indices to compare the degree of inequality across populations (for example, to determine if there is greater income inequality in California than in Texas, or in Brazil versus South Africa). The best-known inequality index is the [[Gini coefficient]]; others include the [[Atkinson measure]], the [[Theil index]], the [[Robin Hood index]], and many others.
 
Firebaugh has shown that standard inequality indices reduce to a convenient common form.<ref>Firebaugh, Glenn (1999). “Empirics of World Income Inequality.” American Journal of Sociology 104: 1597-1630.</ref>  He begins by noting that perfect equality exists when the inequality ratio, ''r''<sub>''j''</sub> =  ''X''<sub>''j''</sub> / <math>\scriptstyle\overline{X})</math>  equals 1.0 for all ''j'' units in some population (for example, there is perfect income inequality when everyone’s income ''X''<sub>''j''</sub> equals the mean income <math>\scriptstyle\overline{X})</math>, so that ''r''<sub>''j''</sub> = 1.0 for everyone). Inequality, then, refers to deviations of the ''r''<sub>''j''</sub> from 1.0; the greater the average deviation, the greater the inequality. Inequality indices reflect that fact because they have this common form:
 
::<big><big>''Inequality Index = ''<math>\Sigma_j p_j f(r_j), </math></big>
 
where ''p''<sub>''j''</sub> weights the units by their population share (necessary in a cross-country analysis, for example, since countries vary in population), and f(''r''<sub>''j''</sub>) is a function of the deviation of each unit’s ''r''<sub>''j''</sub> from 1.0, the point of equality. The important insight of Firebaugh’s general inequality equation is that inequality indices differ because they employ different functions of the distance of the inequality ratios (the ''r''<sub>''j''</sub>) from 1.0.
 
===Trends in global income inequality===
Firebaugh was among the first to note that income inequality for the world as a whole leveled off in the last decades of the 20th century, after rising for more than two centuries. Firebaugh describes this important turning point in a 1999 lead article in the American Journal of Sociology<ref>Firebaugh, Glenn (1999). “Empirics of World Income Inequality.” American Journal of Sociology 104: 1597-1630.</ref>  and in a 2003 book.<ref>Firebaugh, Glenn (2003). The New Geography of Global Income Inequality. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.</ref>  While global income inequality is massive, it has remained relatively steady or declined somewhat in recent years due to rapid income growth in China and India. Firebaugh’s findings challenged earlier claims that global income inequality continues to rise rapidly. According to Firebaugh, that claim was based on a flaw: Each country was assigned equal weighting, despite vast differences in population size. When populous countries such as China and India are given their due weight, the data show that global income inequality has not been rising sharply, and most likely is not rising at all. Firebaugh’s findings have been verified by others.<ref>Sala-i-Martin, Xavier (2006). "The World Distribution of Income: Falling Poverty and ... Convergence,
Period." Quarterly Journal of Economics 121:351-397.</ref> As a result, earlier claims by the United Nations<ref>United Nations (1999). Human Development Report, page 36.</ref> and the World Bank<ref>World Bank (2000). World Development Report 2000/2001, page 51.</ref> of rapidly-rising global income inequality have been modified in their more recent publications.
 
===Avoiding the ecological fallacy===
Researchers are said to commit the ecological fallacy when they make untested inferences about individual-level relationships from aggregate data. It is called a fallacy because it is based on the problematic assumption that relationships at one level of aggregation also hold at another level of aggregation.<ref>Robinson, William S. (1950). “Ecological correlations and the behavior of individuals.” American Sociological Review 15: 351-57.</ref> To illustrate, consider the fact that [[George Wallace]], a four-term governor of [[Alabama]] and well-known [[segregationist]] who ran as a third-party candidate well in the 1968 US Presidential election, received a higher share of votes in regions with higher percentages of blacks.<ref>Schoenberger, Robert A. and David R. Segal (1971). “The ecology of dissent: The southern Wallace vote in 1968.” Midwest Journal of Political Science 15:583-86.</ref>  From this one might erroneously conclude that blacks were disproportionately inclined to vote for Wallace (post-election surveys showed that, while one in eight whites voted for Wallace, virtually no blacks did).<ref>Firebaugh, Glenn (2008). Seven Rules for Social Research, page 230. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press.</ref>
Firebaugh has contributed to this literature by delineating theoretical conditions or rules under which it is possible to infer individual-level relationships from aggregate data.<ref>Firebaugh, Glenn (1978). "A Rule for Inferring Individual level Relationships from Aggregate Data."  American Sociological Review  43: 557 572.</ref> These conditions are important because researchers are subject to the ecological fallacy in virtually all the social and behavioral sciences - from history to political science to epidemiology – since individual-level data often are unavailable.
