Tracing the genetic footprints of the UK National Health Service

Martín Bassols, Nicolau; Biroli, Pietro; De Cao, Elisabetta - 2026

The establishment of the UK National Health Service (NHS) in July 1948 was one of the most consequential health policy interventions of the twentieth century, providing universal and free access to medical care and substantially expanding maternal and infant health services. In this paper, we...

Sources of inequality at birth : the interplay between genes and parental socioeconomic status

Biroli, Pietro; Martín Bassols, Nicolau; Marees, Andries T. - 2026

The start of a human's life can be characterized by two lotteries: that of your genes (nature) and the family you were born into (nurture). These set in motion a trajectory, from birth onward, in health and human capital. Leveraging three longitudinal social-science data sets, we systematically...

Understanding sibling correlations in education : molecular genetics and family background

Fletcher, Jason; Lu, Qiongshi; Mazumder, Bhashkar; Song, Jie - 2023

Sibling correlations in socioeconomic status are one of the key measures of equality of opportunity and social mobility, providing an omnibus examination of the importance of family background. Typically, these correlations are interpreted as the combined effects of shared sibling background and...

The economy, the ghost in your gene, and the escape from premature mortality

Costa, Dora L.; Bygren, Lars Olov; Graf, Benedikt; … - 2025

Explanations for the West's escape from premature mortality have focused on chronic malnutrition or income and on public health or state capacity. We argue that by ignoring the multigenerational effects of variance in ancestors' harvests, we are underestimating the contribution of modern...

Born that way : beliefs about genetics' importance and redistribution preferences

Meritocratic fairness justifies inequality when it stems from performance. Yet performance is influenced by one's genetics. I investigate whether individuals' redistribution preferences are affected by their beliefs about genetics' role in generating performance inequality. In an incentivized...
