Following in Your Father's Footsteps: A Note on the Intergenerational Transmission of Income between Twin Fathers and their Sons [PDF]
We provide the first twin-based estimates of the intergenerational transmission of income between fathers and sons. Using Swedish register data on the income of monozygotic twin fathers and their sons, we are able to control for unobserved endowments at ...

Identifying Causal Genotype–Phenotype Relationships for Population‐Sampled Parent–Child Trios
Genetic Epidemiology, Volume 50, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT The process by which genes are transmitted from parent to child provides a source of randomization preceding all other factors that may causally influence any particular child phenotype. Because of this, it is natural to consider genetic transmission as a source of experimental randomization.

Traditional approaches often fail to account for confounding and reverse causation. We evaluate the use of Mendelian randomisation with non‐inherited variants (MR‐NIV) to address these limitations ...
