家庭的经济特征是其社会经济环境的重要组成部分。然而，它们在调查中常常受到冷遇，因为调查设计者认为其他社会经济地位衡量标准（例如教育）使它们变得多余，受访者不会如实回答此类问题，并且可能导致一些潜在受访者完全退出调查。我们认为，关于经济特征调查问题的传统观点是错误的。我们解释了各种经济指标之间的概念区别，总结了最大限度提高数据质量的调查方法，并提出了收集所需数据的特定问题集的建议。 (C) 2001 年学术出版社。
Economic characteristics of households are an important component of their socioeconomic environment. However, they are often given short shrift in surveys because survey designers believe that other measures of socioeconomic status (e.g., education) render them redundant, respondents will not answer such questions truthfully, and they may lead some potential respondents to drop out of the survey altogether. We argue that the conventional wisdom regarding survey questions on economic characteristics is wrong. We explain the conceptual distinctions among various economic measures, summarize survey methods that maximize data quality, and present recommendations of specific sets of questions that gather the needed data.
