New @jmfncfr.bsky.social paper w/ @arnovanhootegem.bsky.social & @torkildl.bsky.social!
Triangulating adoption- and CoT-designs, we find that parental 💔 has minimal impact on children's partnership formation but increases their risk of partnership dissolution.

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 🧬👪
Love this! Congratulations!
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.

🚨 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 📚🎓🧬 💰

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]
Two weeks left to apply! Organized with @rutheva.bsky.social @gaiaghirardi.bsky.social, Torkild Lyngstad and Karri Silventoinen. We will have presentations by Gregory Clark, Evelina Akimova and @fctropf.bsky.social! So apply to join this exciting group in Oslo. Accommodation and food are covered!
New sociogenomics WP!
Does family SES moderate the impact of children’s genetic predisposition for (non)cognitive skills on educational outcomes?
2nd WP of my thesis by a strong interdisciplinary team: Gil-Hernández, @fabriberna.bsky.social, van Bergen @perlinedemange.bsky.social! ✨
We are hosting a workshop on how genetics can help to understand social structures, especially in interaction with environments! Apply before the end of the year if you want to join us in beautiful Oslo!
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!
