Description: We scrape data from a unique dataset of Danish first names and socioeconomic outcomes not previously made available to the public (“Navnehjulet”). We visualize the data and show that there is a general factor with indicator loadings in the expected directions (positive: income, owning your own place to live, being married (slightly); negative: having a criminal conviction, being without a job). This result held after controlling for age and for each gender alone.
