Genetically-informed designs offer new ways to tackle causal questions in the social sciences. Excited to see where this approach goes next! 🚀

It was a privilege to learn so much from this amazing team of coauthors and special shout-out to Perline for key contributions on the genetic data. 🎉

We also look further into potential heterogeneity and found consistent results for lifetime earnings, and the education premium is bigger for women and for individuals from low-income families.

We really strived for methodologically sound analyses and tested our methods’ assumptions with multiple sensitivity analyses. That’s especially the case for Mendelian randomization, which treats genetic variation as a natural experiment, for which we also performed within-family.

Using Norwegian registry data, our study reveals that on average one additional year of schooling raises annual earnings by at least 19,000 NOK (~ $1,700) during one's 30s. This consistent finding across methods underscores that education is a solid investment.

Good initiative! We published an introduction to instrumental variables article in JCE www.jclinepi.com/article/S089...
A Gentle Introduction to Instrumental Variables
Instrumental variables (IV) is a central strategy for identifying causal effects in absence of randomized experiments. Clinicians and epidemiologists may find the intuition of IV easy to grasp by comp...
