My research interests lie in American Politics, Political Methodology, and Political Economy. I examine the interactions between politicians, bureaucrats, and voters. In particular, I study incentives and selection in local bureaucracies and their implications for public policy and accountability. To provide rigorous empirical evidence on these issues, I employ quasi-experimental and cutting-edge data science tools to leverage a combination of novel administrative datasets, spatial data, and political text. <br><br>
My research sits at the intersection of American political institutions, bureaucratic politics, local politics, and political methodology. My current work aims to increase our understanding of incentives and selection in bureaucracies and their implications for public policy and accountability. I approach these issues by examining strategic interactions among politicians, bureaucrats, and voters, and their implications for public service provision, regulatory policy, and the representativeness of government. My work leverages a range of research designs and data sources, including causal inference methods for observational data, text analysis, administrative data, and game theory. My work is forthcoming in the <em>Journal of Politics</em> and <em>Political Analysis</em>.<br><br>

I also hold an MSc in Political Science and Political Economy from the London School of Economics and Political Science and a BA in Political Science and Economics from University of Mannheim. Before graduate school at NYU, I worked as a researcher in the Office of the Chief Economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Chair of Econometrics at University of Mannheim and the Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research.</p>
