The key findings are:
1) Beauty is partially heritable: With data from three separate datasets, we narrowed down the heritability of beauty around 0.25 (with 1 being perfectly heritable);

It is well established that physically attractive individuals get paid better (so-called “beauty premium”) across different occupations and countries. We study the extent to which parents pass their looks to their children, and how this heritability influences economic outcomes and inequality.
