Gene-Environment Interplay in the Social Sciences
Abstrak
Nature (one’s genes) and nurture (one’s environment) jointly contribute to the formation and evolution of health and human capital over the life cycle. This complex interplay between genes and environment can be estimated and quantified using genetic information readily available in a growing number of social science data sets. To help the novice reader interested in understanding individual decision making, public policy, and inequality using genetic data, we introduce essential genetic terminology, review the literature in economics and social-science genetics—with a focus on the interplay between genes and environment—and discuss policy implications and future prospects of the use of genetic data in the social sciences and economics.
