We have a new paper out, led by the great @hfsunde.bsky.social! We find that the correlation between parental income and offspring mental disorders may be partly causal in adolescence (phenotypic transmission), but that it is largely explained by passive genetic transmission in adulthood.

Our new paper is out today! 🎉 In it, we use administrative register data to document how psychiatric disorders are strongly linked to parental income, from childhood far into adulthood. Furthermore, we attempt to separate causation and selection using kinship-based models.

New paper on family resemblance in school performance! We find that a model with only additive genetics and assortative mating fits the data well, but underestimates the resemblance of close relatives and adoptees, indicating some shared environmental effects. See @eivindy.bsky.social thread!
