Social science genetics is basically genetics and economics combined and that's the expertise of our guest Giorgia Menta, a postdoctoral researcher in economics at LISER. Giorgia used genetics to see the influence of maternal mental health on children’s well-being and school outcomes. She has also studied the development of depression among women influenced by the UK pension reform and even conducted an online experiment to look for buyer bias on the housing market in Luxembourg.
Enjoy this interdisciplinary episode and the clear explanations Giorgia provides!
