Bruce Sacerdote

The work of Bruce Sacerdote is very well worth consulting for those interested in examining, inter alia, causal effects of families and peers, intergenerational transmission of human capital. The Darthmouth random roommate assignment study and the Korean-American adoption studty are very relevant to discussions among the group.
