Research on Elections (experiments)


Since 2008 I have a parallel interest in experimental research . I developed this interest while at Yale in 2008-2009 during my Ph.D. Although I cannot say that experiments are my main research focus, I have greatly benefitted from this experience in my primary research, especially on public opinion.
