Abstract	The authors use unique Swedish data to estimate intergenerational associations between adoptees and their biological and adoptive parents. They argue that the impact from biological parents captures broad pre-birth factors, including genes and prenatal environment, and the impact from adoptive parents represents broad post-birth factors, such as childhood environment, for the intergenerational association in education and income. They find that both pre- and postbirth factors contribute to intergenerational transmissions, and that pre-birth factors are more important for mother's education and less important for father's income. We also find some evidence for a positive interaction effect between post-birth environment and pre-birth factor. (Orig.).
