Is Schooling "Mostly in the Genes"? Nature-Nurture Decomposition Using Data on Relatives

Abstract

We modify R. A. Fisher's model by incorporating measures of the environment that may be correlated across kin groups. We estimate a model of schooling attainment using data on eight kin groups and find a large contribution of genetic endowments to the variance in schooling though certain aspects of the environment matter.
