🚨New pre-print! Why do ADHD parents tend to have ADHD children? Mainly because they share genes. Parental ADHD behaviours (F-path👇) had v little impact on their children’s ADHD behaviours. N=22k parents & 11k 8yo children psyarxiv.com/ng5b8

In a new study in Demogrpahy, @STBorgen and I show a persistent pattern of horizontal advantage where children of immigrant are more prone to enter high-status, economically rewarding fields of study than children of native-born parents. 🧵in original tweet!
In the latest issue of @ReadDemography, me and @aresherman show that children of immigrants are more likely to enter prestigious and high-paying fields of study than their fellow students with native-born parents. Why, you ask? A short🧵... (1/5)

… a yet-to-be-explained immigrant optimism seems to manifest as a horizontal ethnic advantage in education; children of immigrants pursue fields of study with high expected economic returns, despite lower earlier achievements and parental resources.
Notably, in Norway ... (4/5)
... there are few economic barriers to education, allowing high-aspiring children to advance into prestigious postsecondary education. Thus, educational choices are likely less constrained than in less egalitarian educational systems. (5/5)

Turn’s out it’s not all about the peers! In an @ActaSocJournal publication, I investigate the effect of attending immigrant-dense schools on dropout and show that students are affected in more ways than through mere immigrant peer exposure. 🧵doi.org/10.1177/000169932311…
Using both a value-added approach and by drawing on application data to manage selection bias, I show that attending immigrant-dense schools increases likelihood of drooping out – even though a school fixed effects model indicates no detectable immigrant peer effects. 👇
