Family research often looks at effects of parents on children, but it's a two-way street! Check out our new paper in @pnas.org on evocative effects on family demographic outcomes in MoBa. Kids with much ADHD genes influence their parents' dissolution risk. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 1/x

New paper with @fabriberna.bsky.social - part of my PhD thesis! Why are the negative educational consequences of parental separation stronger among high-SES children? → When high-SES parents separate, they lose their ability to compensate for their child’s low genetic propensity for education 🧬👪

Marte has some fresh-from-the-box research in Social Forces! Behind-the-scenes political power, mapped and measured. She explains: “While wealthy owners are invisible in institutionalized policymaking, the inner circle and wealthy owners converge in support towards rightwing political parties.”

So happy to be a part of the World Elite Database project. We now have our first preliminary results from 16 countries published in @bjsociology.bsky.social! As it turns out, economic elites differ across countries on a wide range of factors. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

🚨 Excited to share our latest work with @perlinedemange.bsky.social, Felix Elwert, Nicolai Borgen, @eivindy.bsky.social, and Henrik Zachrisson. Does more schooling increase earnings? We revisit this classic question using multiple genetically informed designs 📚🎓🧬 💰 osf.io/preprints/so...

My firstborn PhD paper is out 🎉 with @rosacheesman.bsky.social @torkildl.bsky.social and Ole Andreassen. Higher genetic dispositions for EA and sociodemographic factors decrease the risk of partnership dissolution, while dispositions for internalizing symptoms and risk behavior increase the risk 💔

MORE THAN NATURE AND NURTURE? In a new Nature Human Behavior paper, we probe the origins of indirect genetic effects on educational achievement in Norway. We found they are more due to dynastic processes than to nurture processes. Here's a thread, with slight emphasis on the sociology of it. [1/9]

Did educational expansion make cognitive ability more predictive of attainment? Meritocratic logics would suggest so. Our results reveal the opposite pattern: a decoupling between ability and education over birth cohorts! Out now in Scientific Reports! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
