This chapter reviews the literature on intergenerational mobility. While our review is
centered around the large empirical literature on this topic, we also give a brief discussion of …

Behavior genetics studies how genetic differences among people contribute to differences in
their psychology and behavior. Here, I describe how the conclusions and methods of …

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 …

A summary genetic measure, called a “polygenic score,” derived from a genome-wide
association study (GWAS) of education can modestly predict a person's educational and …

Polygenic indexes (PGIs) are DNA-based predictors. Their value for research in many
scientific disciplines is growing rapidly. As a resource for researchers, we used a consistent …

Human behaviour is complex and multifaceted, and is studied by a broad range of
disciplines across the social and natural sciences. To mark our 5th anniversary, we asked …

We quantify intergenerational and assortative processes by comparing different degrees of
kinship within the same generation. This “horizontal” approach yields more, and more …

The field of human behavioral genetics has come full circle. It began by using twin/family
studies to estimate the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences. As large …

This paper provides one of the few evidence about migration responses among talents to air
pollution. Specifically, we investigate the impact of PM 2.5 concentration on job location …

What generates the observed differences in economic outcomes by health? How costly it is
to be unhealthy? We show that health dynamics are largely driven by ex-ante fixed …
