Personal profile
Research interests
My name is Rita and I was born in Portugal where I did my bachelor. I completed my master in economics in Mannheim University and at the moment I do my phD at Erasmus University. My topic is the interaction between genes and environment in health and education inequalities. I am interested in understanding inequalities with respect to health and education as well as to understand the persistence of those inequalities across generations.
