The ISEI index was constructed by Harry Ganzeboom, Paul De Graaf and Donald Treiman. Please refer to the following article to find out more about this index and to cite it:

The function was constructed from Harry Ganzeboom's SPSS syntax available on his website:

http://www.harryganzeboom.nl/isco88/index.htm

This syntax is part of the "International Stratification and Mobility File" project which provides several social position conversion tools in SPSS format:

Examples

#load the data
data(data_MCH2007)

#visualize the data
str(data_MCH2007)
head(data_MCH2007)

#check the variables needed for social position coding
table(data_MCH2007$iscoR,useNA="always")

#Then, you can run the function:
data_MCH2007 <- recode_from_ISCO88_to_ISEI(
				ISCO88=data_MCH2007$iscoR, 
				data=data_MCH2007) 

#Check the variable created:
names(data_MCH2007)
head(data_MCH2007)
table(data_MCH2007$ISEI,useNA="always")
