exposures typically classified as environmental have been found to be heritable. A …

We conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a
sample of~ 3 million individuals and identify 3,952 approximately uncorrelated genome …

Human behaviour is complex and multifaceted, and is studied by a broad range of

As genetic research into outcomes beyond health gathers pace, largely through the use of
genome-wide association studies, interest from policy-makers has grown. In the last year …

While there is widespread agreement in societies like the UK that every child has the right to
a secure childhood and the opportunity to develop to their full potential, this does not match …

There is a growing interest in how social conditions moderate genetic influences on

genetics (BG) to enhance generalizability, enrich explanation, and predict how social factors …

Abstract Families transmit genes and environments across generations. When parents'
genetics affect their children's environments, these two modes of inheritance can become …

Economists and social scientists have debated the relative importance of nature (one's

In this paper, we investigate the context‐dependence of genetic influences on human capital
formation in Denmark. We show that the returns to genetic endowments are smaller for …
