The heterosis effect in human capital and wealth accumulation

Zhu, Chen; Böckerman, Petri - 2025

In genetics, heterosis describes how crossbreeding produces offspring with greater fitness than their parents. We propose a socioeconomic heterosis hypothesis: does genetic diversity at the individual level benefit economic success? Using UK Biobank data (N=488,152), we find that people with...
