Children living in families with low incomes and those with poorly educated parents are much more likely than other children to grow up to be adults with less education, lower incomes, poorer health, and shorter lives, all of which severely impact federal, state and local budgets. William T. Dickens and Charles Baschnagel examine the effects of investment in selected prekindergarten education programs in a growth model of the U.S. economy to judge the impact they would have on these budgets.

In 2001 William Dickens and James Flynn proposed a model of cognitive ability that explains how large IQ gains, such as those observed in the United States and other countries over the 20th century, are possible despite the substantial roll played by genes in explaining differences among people within the same social group.

Darwin's Origin of Species sparked the modern debate about genes versus environment in explaining differences between human individuals and groups. Ever since, the pendulum of scientific opinion has swung back and forth with consensus always out of reach.
