Weitere Informationen
I came to LMU in 2018 after receiving my PhD from Yale. I teach classes on political behavior, political economy, and quantitative methods.
I am broadly interested in questions pertaining to democracy and inequality, and in applications of behavioral economics to political science. A first line of my research investigates the causes and consequences of unequal political participation. A second line of work examines how voters and public officials make decisions under uncertainty.
