In this working paper, Torkild Hovde Lyngstad and co-authors perform the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) on a latent index for partner choice. Their findings can be read below.
In this working paper, Torkild Hovde Lyngstad and co-authors investigate the heterogeneous effects of neighborhood socioeconomic composition. Their findings can be read below.
In this article, Ruth Eva Jørgensen, Torkild Hovde Lyngstad and co-authors investigated the genetic component of partnership dissolution. Their findings can be read below.
In this article, published in Demographic Research, Torkild Hovde Lyngstad and co-authors examine long-term trends in the gap in single parenthood between more educated and less-educated mothers. Their findings can be read below.
In this article, Tina Baier and Torkild Hovde Lyngstad review recent developments and ongoing research integrating molecular genetics to study educational outcomes, and discuss their implications for sociological stratification research.
In this book chapter, in the Handbook of Labor, Human Resources and Population Economics, Agnes Fauske and co-authors writes about Causal Analysis of Policy Effects on Fertility. The chapter can be read below.
In this working paper Arno Van Hootegem, Adrian Farner Rogne, Caroline Tveter Cros, Ole Røgeberg and Torkild Hovde Lyngstad estimate the strength of the intergenerational social transmission of a range of socioeconomic status indicators. Their findings can be read below.
In this working paper, Adrian Rogne and Agnes Fauske assess the impact of local colleges on cohort fertility and age-specific fertility outcomes. Their findings can be read below.
In this working paper, Agnes Fauske explores how the genetic influence on fertility behavior changed throughout the Second demographic transition. Her findings can be read below.
In this article, published in the acclaimed journal Nature Human Behaviour, Torkild Hovde Lyngstad and co-authors tested if indirect genetic effects reflect within-nuclear-family transmission or instead a multi-generational process of social stratification. Their findings can be read below.
In this article Arno Van Hootegem, Ole Røgeberg, Bernt Bratsberg and Torkild Hovde Lyngstad examines the correlation between cognitive ability and educational attainment across male birth cohorts in Norway. Their findings can be read below.
In this article, Torkild Hovde Lyngstad and co-authors investigate interactions between polygenic indices for educational attainment and environmental levels. Their findings can be read below.
In this working paper, Tina Baier and co-authors examine the role of genes in the study of equality of opportunity. They do this by testing theoretical assumptions, using twin methods and register data from Finland. Their findings can be read below.
In this article, Arno Van Hootegem, Adrian Farner Rogne and Torkild Hovde Lyngstad estimate how much variation in class positions that can be attributed to genetic and environmental factors. The results can be read below.
In this working paper, Tina Baier, Torkild Lyngstad and co-authors investigate whether intergenerational transmission reflects within-family processes or social inheritance. Their findings suggest that the effects of the environmental processes characterized as “nurture” are explained less by parents’ specific behaviors and more by dynastic stratification in environments relevant to success in school.
In this article, published in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", Martin Isungset, Torkild Lyngstad and co-authors approach the question of the influence of genetics and social environment on educational outcomes - in a Scandinavian welfare state.
In this article, Martin Isungset, Torkild Lyngstad and co-authors investigate if birth order differences in education are caused by genetic differences. Their findings show that birth order differences are not biological in origin, but pinning down their specific causes remains elusive.
In this article, Tina Baier, Torkild Lyngstad and co-authors address a shortcoming in previous research on intergenerational correlation of educational attainment, by adopting a Multiple-Children-of-Twin design and decompose the ICE into its environmental and genetic transmission mechanisms.
In this research article, Agnes Fauske and her co-authors describe the results of a systematic review of the literature on the effects of policy on fertility since 1970 in Europe, the United States, Canada, and Australia.
In this research article Tina Baier and her co-authors compare genetic influences on educational achievement and their social stratification across Germany, Norway, Sweden, and the United States.
In this working paper, Tina Baier focus on the extent to which parental separation affects genetic influences on educational attainment across 20th Century birth cohorts.
In this journal article, published in European Sociological Review, Torkild Lyngstad and co-authors ask whether birth order in the parental generation influences the educational attainment of their children.
