<span style="letter-spacing:0.3pt; font-family:Helvetica; font-size:10.5pt; color:rgb(35,35,51); background-color:white"><b>Abstract:</b> Nature versus nurture is fundamental in behavioral, biological, and medical sciences. Central to it is the concept of heritability,
a quantity that measures how much genes contribute to complex human traits. The "missing heritability problem” is a great scientific puzzle identified by the Human Genome Project: there is a substantial gap between heritability estimates from population-based
cohorts and those from twin data. Up to now, there is no widely accepted solution to this dilemma and our theoretical understanding of the problem is still limited. Inspired by the twin design, we define heritability by contrasting the factual value of the
trait with its counterfactual value under the same environmental exposure and an “independent draw” of genetic variants. This new notion offers a more nuanced understanding of the genetic and environmental contributions and their interactions. A particularly
interesting feature is that, without strong untestable assumptions, we can only obtain bounds (but not precise estimates) of counterfactual heritability. We provide conditions for partial identification of this new notion with and without covariates in completely
randomized experiments. In addition, we compare it with commonly used definitions of heritability in genetics through simulation studies. Our analysis sheds light on the important missing heritability problem. </span></p>
