• Recent Developments in Intergenerational Mobility (2010, background): “A major advance in understanding the nature/nurture distinction is research by Bjorklund et al. (2005); using extremely rich Swedish data, they make use of correlations across a wide range of sibling types, including identical (also called monozygotic) and fraternal (dizygotic) twins, full…”
• Why Do Wealthy Parents Have Wealthy Children? (2020, unknown): “Björklund et al. (2006) and Björklund, Jäntti, and Solon (2007) use information on the adoptees’ biological parents to control for their observable characteristics. By comparison, Sacerdote (2007) takes advantage of information on Korean-born children who were quasi-randomly assigned to approved ado”
• OECD SOCIAL, EMPLOYMENT AND MIGRATION WORKING PAPERS Intergenerational Transmission of Disadvantage: Mobility or Immobility across Generations?

(2005), using MZ- and DZ-twins reared together and apart but earnings as outcome variable, find that their best-fitting model is one in which MZ- and DZ-twins do not share environmental influences to the same extent.”
