Emiel Awad

Welcome! I am a quantitative social scientist who studies political economy. 

I was an Associate Research Scholar at Princeton University's Department of Politics from September 2022 to August 2023. I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science from September 2019 to August 2022. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Rochester in 2019. I also hold bachelor's and master's degrees from Leiden University and Erasmus University Rotterdam in Political Science and Economics and Business Economics.

I study the following topics: 

1. outside influence of political organizations, focusing on lobbying, persuasion, and money in politics;

2. inter-organizational cooperation, focusing on international cooperation and the creation and design of international organizations; and

3. internal politics in organizations, focusing on principal-agent models, reputation concerns, and incentive provision.

I primarily use game theoretical models to analyze strategic interactions related to political organizations. My research page goes into more detail on published papers and working projects. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or feedback.
