  • Equal price for equal place? Demand-driven racial discrimination in the housing market

    Open AccessAnthony Lepinteur, Giorgia Menta et al.ARTICLERegional Science and Urban…2025

    We presented participants to an online study in Luxembourg with fictitious real-estate advertisements , tasking them to appraise the described properties. A random subset was also shown sellers’ surnames, strongly framed to signal their origins. All else equal, sellers with sub-Saharan African surnames were systematically offered lower prices — amounting to an appraisal penalty of EUR 20,000. This figure is highly heterogeneous and can amount up …

  • The intergenerational association of epigenetic modifications between mothers and offspring, from birth to adolescence

    Open AccessChiara Costi, Giorgia Menta et al.ARTICLEEconomics & Human Biology2025

    Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation (DNAm), have an important role in human disease development, with early DNAm patterns potentially influencing health outcomes in later life. In this paper, we examine the intergenerational association of epigenetic mutation load (EML), a biomarker of epigenetic instability, identifying DNAm outliers. Using mother-child dyads from a UK-based cohort study, we examine the intergenerational associatio…

  • Mode of birth and DNA methylation at birth, in childhood, and in adolescence

    Isabel Jaramillo, Luisa Bergunde et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2024

    Mode of birth has been linked to offspring health. Changes in DNA methylation (DNAm) may represent a potential mechanism; however, findings are heterogeneous and limited to early infancy. This preregistered study examined whether mode of birth (vaginal birth compared with elective or emergency cesarean section) affects DNAm at birth, in childhood, and adolescence and whether these effects are modified by the postnatal care environment, specifical…

  • Maternal genetic risk for depression and child human capital

    Open AccessGiorgia Menta, Anthony Lepinteur et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Economics2022

    We here address the causal relationship between the maternal genetic risk for depression and child human capital using UK birth-cohort data. We find that an increase of one standard deviation (SD) in the maternal polygenic risk score for depression reduces their children's cognitive and non-cognitive skill scores by 5 to 7% of a SD throughout adolescence. Our results are robust to a battery of sensitivity tests addressing, among others, concerns …

  • Pace of aging, family environment and cognitive skills in children and adolescents

    Open AccessGianmaria Niccodemi, Giorgia Menta et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2022

    Pace of aging is an epigenetic clock which captures the speed at which someone is biologically aging compared to the chronological-age peers. We here use data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) to investigate the interrelation between the study children's parental social class at birth, and their pace of aging and cognitive skills measures in childhood and adolescence. We show that children from lower parental socia…
