Vincent is a social demographer whose main interest is racial and ethnic
inequality in the United States. He has carried out several research
projects studying racial and ethnic intermarriage. One such project
compares the characteristics of intermarried and in-married couples to
determine if racial inequality is expressed in marriage pairings. Other
projects have examined change over time and geographic variation in
intermarriage as well as patterns of intermarriage between members of
different minority groups. Future work includes a study of intermarriage
in Brazil and an examination of 1968-1996 Black/White intermarriage using
vital statistics data.

Vincent has also undertaken several projects related to quantitative
methods. He has developed statistical software and collaborated on a
didactic seminar on multilevel models. He also co-authored a review
article on models for sample selection bias which reports results from
Monte Carlo simulations examining the sensitivity of several selection
model estimators to violations of model assumptions.
