I am an applied economist with research and teaching interests mainly in political economics and public economics. Employing formal theoretical modeling and data-driven empirical investigation, my work has appeared in leading academic journals across the quantitative social sciences. Please see my research page for access to my current working papers and my previous publications.
I teach courses in political economics, public sector economics, and applied econometrics at the Central European University in Vienna, Austria. I offer courses at the undergraduate, masters, and doctoral levels at CEU. I am the head of the Department of Public Policy and an elected faculty representative on the CEU Senate.
