This article reviews existing research at the intersection of genetics and economics, presents some new findings that illustrate the state of genoeconomics research, and surveys the prospects of this emerging field. Twin studies suggest that economic outcomes and preferences, once corrected for...

Current research on status attainment usually employs either a scale of prestige or of socioeconomic status to rank order occupation titles. Consistently, in the United States (and in limited international comparisons), correlations among variables in basic stratification models which rest upon...

Students of social inequality and stratification, especially those outside the discipline of sociology, frequently underestimate the quality of information on employment and occupation which can be elicited in social surveys. A brief overview of the current technology of occupation...

Biases due to measurement errors in an earnings function for nonblack males are assessed by estimating unobserved variable models with data from the Income Supplement Reinterview program of the March 1973 Current Population Survey and from the remeasurement program of the 1973 Occupational...

This is a response to the immediately preceding article by George Farkas. Readers are directed to the Editor's Note on page 333 above.

Does the choice of measure of occupational standing affect inferences about gender differences in occupational attainment? The authors use data from the 1994 General Social Survey and the 1986-1988 Survey of Income and Program Participation to analyze the role of gender in the process of...

Measurement error in independent variables produces biased estimates of the coefficients in linear models. These biases can be reduced by obtaining repeated measurements of the variables and then estimating structural equation models with multiple indicators of latent variables. Remeasurement is...
