Genetically-driven effects of anxiety on financial choices and outcomes.

The first column in the table presents the results of an OLS regression of the neuroticism score on dummy variables indicating the subjects’ serotonin transporter gene variant (SS, SL, LL, the latter being the omitted category). The predicted and residual values of neuroticism obtained from this regression, as well as age and sex, are used as explanatory variables in the OLS models in the next five columns, in which the dependent variables are measures of the subjects’ financial choices and outcomes (same as in Table 2). Standard errors are adjusted for heteroskedasticity (t-statistics are in parentheses).
