DESCRIPTION:[b]Professor Gregory Clark\, Chair of Business and Social Scie
 nces\, Department of Economics[/b] [nl] [nl]\n\nUsing data from an extens
 ive lineage of 422\,374 English people 1600-2022\, with some families fol
 lowed for 8 generations\, the talk will explore how social status is dete
 rmined.  The lineage data offers some remarkable findings.  [nl]\nFirst s
 tatus persists very strongly across generations\, so that even people as 
 remote as 4th cousins still have correlated social status in 2023 even th
 ough their most recent common ancestor was born in 1780.  [nl][nl]\nSecon
 d the strength of persistence of status across generations has not change
 d 1600-2022.  The momentous social changes of these years – the Industria
 l Revolution\, mass public education\, the emancipation of women\, the we
 lfare state – caused no increase in social mobility rates.   [nl][nl]\nTh
 e third surprising feature is that the correlations between relatives are
  exactly those predicted by a simple model of additive genetic determinat
 ion of status\, with a genetic correlation in marriage of close to 0.6.  
 [nl] [nl] \nIn this talk I will explore\, using other data from this rich
  lineage\, whether the parallel between the status inheritance and geneti
 c transmission is just an accident\, or does indeed imply a social world 
 where genetic determinism rules.[nl][nl][nl]\n\n\n[b] About:[/b]  [nl]\nG
 regory Clark\, Chair of Business and Social Sciences\, is an Full Profess
 or of Economics at the Historical Economics and Development Group\, HEDG\
 , at SDU. He is a Distinguished Professor of Economics at University of C
 alifornia\, Davis\, and a Visiting Professor in the Economic History Depa
 rtment at the London School of Economics and Political Science\, LSE. He 
 is a world-renowned researcher in Quantitative Economic History and has p
 ublished two widely cited books on international economic history: A Fare
 well to Alms – A Brief Economic History of the World (Princeton UP\, 2007
 )\; and The Son Also Rises: Surnames and Social Mobility (Princeton UP\, 
 2014).[nl][nl]\nThe key research idea\, which has led to his moving to th
 e Economics Department of the University of Southern Denmark\, is to appl
 y Clark’s innovative techniques to the Human Capital of the Nordic Countr
 ies (HCNC) database (funded by the Carlsberg Foundation to PI prof. Paul 
 Sharp at SDU) over multiple generations in Denmark and Norway\, spanning 
 1790 to 1940.[nl][nl]\n\n[b]In the DIAS Seminar room\, open for all.[/b]
