Abstract
The authors introduce a new group of multinomial logit models with special contrasts to identify covariate effects on multiple categorical dependent variables that are strongly associated with each other. The authors first develop the method for a case with two dependent variables and then extend the method to a case with three dependent variables. The model can account for both nominal and ordinal scales of categorical dependent variables. The authors formulate the covariate effects to represent unique effects on each dependent variable so that they become independent across different dependent variables. The application focuses on the multiplicity of occupational attainments by analyzing how gender, race, educational attainment, and parental occupation characteristics affect three distinct but nonindependent dimensions of occupations: socioeconomic status, social skill level, and math and science skill levels.
