The authors examine the genetic and environmental contributions to socioeconomic status (SES) in Norway using a large, population-wide dataset and four different heritability estimation methods. They find that genetic factors explain more variance in education and occupational prestige, while shared environmental factors are more influential for education and wealth, highlighting the complexity and context-dependence of SES determinants.
