摘要:	摘要： This paper examines the causal effect of parental schooling on children’s schooling using a large sample of adoptees from Taiwan. Using birth-parents’ education to help control for selective placement of children with adoptive parents, we find that adoptees raised with more highly educated parents have higher educational attainment, measured by years of schooling and probability of university graduation. We also find evidence that adoptive father’s schooling is more important for sons’ and adoptive mother’s schooling is more important for daughters’ educational attainment. These results support the notion that family environment (nurture) is important in determining children’s educational outcomes, independent of genetic endowment. ► Educational attainment is causally related to parents’ education. ► Effect is partly through nurture (environment), not only nature (genes). ► Adopted children’s education is associated with adoptive parents’ education. ► Effect holds controlling for birth-parents’ education. 出版者： Amsterdam: Elsevier B.V 出版日期： 2012-04-01 出處： Economics Letters, 2012-04, Vol.115 (1), p.134-136 資源來源： ScienceDirect 版權： 2012 Elsevier B.V. 版權： Copyright Elsevier Science Ltd.
