Psychology/biology:

"Long-Term Outcomes Associated with Traumatic Brain Injury in Childhood and Adolescence: A Nationwide Swedish Cohort Study of a Wide Range of Medical and Social Outcomes", Sariaslan et al 2016 (Terrifyingly large within-family estimates, and the risk increases with age in adolescence.)
"Heads or tails: the impact of a coin toss on major life decisions and subsequent happiness", Levitt 2016 (You can randomize anything if you're sufficiently clever about it - even having babies, quitting jobs, moving, or starting a business. Arguably, like computer chess or 'comfort zone expansion', this suggests humans may be too risk-averse: the people on the margin, the 6% who apparently could be swayed by a coin flip, should be making these decisions more often, suggesting a bias towards the status quo.)
"The Long-Term Impact of International Migration on Economic Decision-Making: Evidence from a Migration Lottery and Lab-in-the-Field Experiments", Gibson et al 2016 (Many traits are stable. Migrants aren't going to become more patient, intelligent, peaceful, pro-capitalism, or long-term oriented just because they've immigrated to your country.)
