Research Interests: I study the impact of domestic political institutions on economic policy, drawing from both international relations and comparative politics.  More specifically, my research has focused on the influence of political parties, electoral systems, legislative-executive relations, and sub-national governments on decision-making in trade policy, fiscal policy, and goverance quality.  To address these questions, I make use of a variety of methods, including quantitative cross-national analysis and qualitative, field-work based case studies focusing on India and the European Union.
