This paper studies parental investment in education and intergenerational earnings mobility for father-son pairs with nativeand foreign-born fathers. We illustrate within a simple model that for immigrants, investment in their children is related to their return migration probability. In our empirical analysis, we include a measure for return probabilities, based on repeated information about m...

This paper asks whether population growth is conducive to the sustainability of cooperation. A simple model is developed in which farmers who live around a circular lake engage in trade with their adjacent neighbors. The payoffs from this activity are governed by a prisoner's dilemma "rule of engagement." Every farmer has one son when the population is not growing, or two sons when it is growin...

In the 16 cases of familial HCL published, different HLA have been found. Although specific HLA antigens were found to have the same structure in some cases that suggests a genetic predisposition to HCL. Environmental factors, specifically farming labours, were implicated in too. We add two cases (father and son, both farmers), Their HLA haplotype has not been described, but the type A2Bw4Bw6 a...

OBJECTIVES Parental influences are among the strongest behavioral correlates to unintentional injury outcome in early childhood, but are less well understood as children develop. We implemented a prospective research design to study how parenting style, parent-child relationships, and parental mental health influence injury during middle childhood. We also considered the roles of parent and chi...

We present a male infant with cranial hemi-hypertrophy, a lymphangioma, a lipoma, and epidermal naevi. A diagnosis of Proteus syndrome was made. His father had had a large lymphangioma resected from the right side of the face as a child. We propose that Proteus syndrome has been transmitted from father to son.

Two cases, a father and son, of recurrent cerebellar ataxia in the same family are reported, suggesting a familial trait for the dysfunction. In the older male the onset of each episode (30-90 min.) was signalled by dysarthria which then progressed towards gait ataxia; the son presented closely similar clinical symptoms. Physical examination and blood chemistry revealed no obvious neurological ...
