摘要:	This paper investigates how genetic endowments influence lifetime earnings using a dynamic life cycle model and longitudinal data from a cohort tracked from birth to retirement. We examine genetic impacts on skill formation as well as choices of parental investments, educational attainment, and occupation. A one standard deviation increase in the polygenic score for educational attainment raises lifetime earnings by 18.9%. Although part of this effect is due to genetic endowments impacting skill formation, the majority is due to genetic endowments impacting choices. Extending our analysis to include polygenic scores for additional traits reveals other channels thorough which they operate. Furthermore, our estimates show that genetic endowments and investments are substitutes in the production of earnings during early childhood but are complements later in life, highlighting the crucial importance of early-life interventions to effectively mitigate genetic inequalities.
