However, a NonCog PGS based on our GWAS was reported to not be associated with measures of internalizing behaviour in ALSPAC 350,351 , measured with SDQ. In adulthood, NonCog PGS was not associated with neuroticism in NTR, Texas Twins and WLS cohorts (Chapter 2)…”

Education and mental health shape individuals’ wellbeing and their opportunities in life. Understanding the relationship between these two domains and their intergenerational transmission is valuable for researchers, policy makers, and society as a whole. With this doctoral dissertation, I tried to further our understanding of the causes of individual differences in educational outcomes, their relationship with mental health, and their co-intergenerational transmission. In my research I worked with observational data in large samples, triangulating across several genetically-informed designs to study genetic and environmental transmissions.

Families at a Loss: The Asymmetric Relationship Between Income Changes and Child Human Capital

I here assess the link between distributional changes in family income and child humancapital. Using a value-added model and data from a UK child cohort, I show evidence of an asymmetric effect of income gains and losses on child non-cognitive development. Only income losses are associated with a reduction in children's socio-emotional health -with one-third of the effect operating through measures of maternal well-being -while no effect is found for income gains. This is consistent with a model of human-capital formation where the quality and quantity of parental inputs react to changes in family income asymmetrically.
