Twin differences in birth weight: the effects of genotype and prenatal environment on neonatal and post-neonatal mortality.

Economics and human biology - 1 Jun 2006

Conley Dalton, Strully Kate W, Bennett Neil G

Abstract excerpt

There is much evidence to suggest that both genes and prenatal environment influence life chances. However, recent within-twin estimates also raise questions about how the influence of genes and prenatal environment may vary across different subgroups of a population and over time. This paper explores such potential variation within the 1st year of life. Using data on twin births from the 1995-1997 Matched...
