Citation? Also, it's worth pointing out that the question was not "do they predict success", but "do they predict success controlling for pedigree". Ive been thinking for a while on how you might actually measure the effect of pedigree, beyond the identity of university. I believe that the specific research group matters, but that's a lot harder to prove (smaller N, harder to get reliable data about counterfacuals).

> it's worth pointing out that the question was not "do they predict success", but "do they predict success controlling for pedigree" This is a valid social question. As a hirer, however, you are measured by your success, not your success benchmarked to some other thing.
