Socioeconomic Status: A Re-Examination of Its Dimensions

Jerome B. Gordon

Journal of Human Resources, 1969, vol. 4, issue 3, 343-359

Abstract: This article presents a review of the several existing techniques currently used to derive socioeconomic status scores from Census and other survey sources. Several tests of the determinates of socioeconomic status are presented for the Duncan, N.O.R.C., and Census S.E.S. scoring systems. The results of the several multiple regressions lead towards the development of a proposed Cobb-Douglas production function for estimating socioeconomic status.
