We also include a sensitivity analysis: how strong would an unobserved confounder need to be to explain away our main estimates?
Our main finding—a larger separation penalty for high-SES, low-PGI children—holds even under implausible values and sociologically unlikely combinations of bias.

For endogeneity concerns in both divorce and sociogenomic research:
we discuss possible sources of bias involving child’s EA-PGI, parental separation, and parental SES.

We show that this larger penalty in the probability of college attainment for high SES student in case of parental separation is concentrated among those with a lower propensity for education (measured using sociogenomic data and PGI EA).

Strangers gathered on the street, huddled around a small battery-powered radio, searching for news.
Yesterday in Madrid, nearly 12 hours without electricity.

In Italy, April 25th is the Day of the Resistance (La Festa della Resistenza), when we celebrate the victory over Nazi-fascism and the end of the war.
Today, in Madrid, we laid a flower at the grave of the International Brigades.
They began fighting fascism nine years earlier, in 1936.

En 2003 casi todo los findes había una manifestación multitudinaria (contra la guerra, por el Prestige…) de Atocha a Sol. Las movilizaciones en calle sirven para parar la extrema derecha. Entonces Aznar, ahora Ayuso.
Nos vemos a las 12 hoy en Atocha para defender la educación publica.

Public universities are under attack globally, not just in the USA.
In Madrid, a far-right president (friend of Trump, Milei etc) backs private universities and cuts public funding. Let’s defend public education—in the streets too!
If you are in Madrid, see you at demonstration Sunday at 12

I have received a request to review from the Israel Science Foundation today. I have declined it. My email reply below.
My position is similar to @philipncohen.com : I do not collaborate with institutions linked to the Israeli government.
But I do collaborate with individual researchers.
