ABSTRACT

"Social scientists are mostly interested in complex traits and behaviors such as health and education. Many of these outcomes are interactively influenced by both social and genetic factors. This highlights the importance of incorporating genetic variables into the analysis of social science studies. The increasing availability of genetic data in social surveys enables researchers to address many new questions. In this talk, I will talk about a few examples that, hopefully, show the possible benefits from the integration of genetic variables."
