Isi artikel

In this article, I use data on twin to obtain estimates of the degree of shared familial influence on cognitive achievement and academic performance, The results indicate that there is considerable shared influence on cognitive achievement but much less for academic performance. The model estimated also indicates a considerable degree of sibling symmetry in both outcomes. The only significant difference rests between opposite gender twins, for these twins. Non shared sources of influence are more important than for same gender twins. Finally, the results indicate that the regression of academic performance on cognitive achievement is not biased by unmeasured familial characteristics.
