Chapter 7 … provides a micro data analysis of the role of personality in the intergenerational transmission of earnings. The author uses data on matched father-son pairs from the mature and young male cohorts of the National Longitudinal Surveys. The statistical models link son's and father's permanent income, while also controlling for human capital variables, IQ, and the Rotter score, a commonly used indicator of personality. The results show that a substantial share of the intergenerational transmission of earnings is attributable to the transmission of personality traits: 11 percent of the father-son correlation in earnings is explained by the transmission of personality. |

How Important Is Your Personality? Labor Market Returns to Personality for Women in the US and UK Journal of Economic Psychology 26,6 (December 2005): 827-841.

While cognitive performance and educational attainment have been shown to be strong indicators of economic success, there remains a large portion of unexplained variance in earnings after controlling for the standard variables. This paper uses the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women and women from the National Child Development Study to explore the value of incorporating psychological traits into wage determination models. This research finds that traits such as locus of control, aggression, and withdrawal are all statistically significant factors in the wage determination models of white women.

Personality and the Intergenerational Transmission of Economic Status In: Unequal Chances: Family Background and Economic Success. S. Bowles, H. Gintis, and M. Osborne Groves, eds., Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2005 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: Princeton University Press Keyword(s): Cognitive Development; Earnings; Fathers and Sons; Intergenerational Patterns/Transmission; Pairs (also see Siblings); Wealth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A copy of Chapter 7 is available at: http://www.sv.uio.no/forskerskole/Groves%20on%20personality%20and%20intergen %20inequality.pdf#search=%22osborne%20groves%3A%20Personality%20and %20the%20Intergenerational%20Transmission%20of%20Economic%20Status%20%22 Educational attainment, cognitive performance, and the receipt of wealth transfers have been shown to be strong indicators of economic success across occupations and explanatory variables in the intergenerational transmission of socioeconomic status. Research also suggests, however, that these three mechanisms are not able to explain the bulk of the large intergenerational persistence of earnings. Few researchers have explored the economic implications of the transmission of personality that occurs in the household. While personality has been shown to be highly heritable through a combination of environmental and genetic mechanisms and rewarded in the labor market, its influence on the transmission of earnings remains unclear. This chapter will estimate the influence of personality on the intergenerational transmission of earnings using matched father-son pairs from the mature and young male cohorts of the National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS).
