统计方法

谢宇开发了一系列用于分类数据分析的统计程序,特别是他所开发的对数相乘层阶效应模型(log-multiplicative layer-effect model)已经被广泛应用于比较(历史或国际政治)分析表格分析中。他也把这个模型拓展到生育率研究的Coale-Trussell方法和历史事件分析的研究中。他与丹尼尔·A.鲍威斯合著的教科书 《分类数据分析的统计方法》,在统一框架下系统性的介绍了数据分类分析的各种方法,已经成为社会科学研究方法的重要参考书籍。他近期关于方法的研究包括友谊选择中离散选择模型、基于观测数据的因果推断和人口的异质性。

社会分层

谢宇对社会分层的研究做出了巨大的贡献。特别是他对美国移民的研究,为美国移民在教育职位收入健康家庭等各方面提供了重要的实证知识。比如,虽然亚裔美国人在通过教育改变经济社会地位方面很突出,但他们所受教育能得到回报仍然取决于他们在哪里受教育,那些在美国以外受教育的人在收入仍偏低。在以调查数据为基础写就的专著《美国亚裔的人口统计描述》中,谢宇与合作者Kimberly Goyette系统的描述了亚裔美国人与其他族裔群体社会经济地位方面的不同,同时描述了亚裔美国人这个族群中的异质性。在于Jennie Brand合作的研究中,谢宇指出那些最不可能进入大学的人,一旦进入大学会从大学教育中获取经济利益。他近期与Alexandra Killewald的研究驳斥了Ferrie的观点,后者认为从十九世纪开始美国的社会流动性已经显著降低。
