Trading genetics

This is the git repository for the paper "Trading social status for genetics in marriage markets: evidence from Great Britain and Norway" by Abdel Abdellaoui, Oana Borcan, Pierre-André Chiappori, David Hugh-Jones, Fartein Ask Torvik and Eivind Ystrøm.

The current version of the paper is at https://github.com/hughjonesd/trading-genetics/blob/master/trading-genetics.pdf.

You can also look at previous versions, to check for specification searches, p-hacking and the Garden of Forking Paths. (But what if we hid them from github? It's a wicked world out there....)

Data is from UK Biobank and is not publicly available, but you can request it from them. We can help with all other data - just get in touch.

Most of the code for the analyses is either in _drake.R or in trading-genetics.Rmd.

To reproduce:

  • Make sure you have the required data.
  • Clone this repository.
  • You'll also need the https://github.com/hughjonesd/import-ukbb-data repository.
  • Edit paths in import-ukbb-data.R.
  • Start R from within this project directory. This should install the R package "renv".
  • Run renv::restore() to install dependencies.
  • Run Rscript -e make-plan-job.R from the command line to build the paper.
