I am a Research Fellow in the Department of Economics at University of Melbourne. My research lies at the intersection of Political Economy, Economic History, Development Economics, and Comparative Politics. My current work examines the institutional development, state capacity, and the political economy of China, with a particular focus on how institutions shape political and economic outcomes. My research has recently been published in Comparative Political Studies, International Studies Quarterly, and Journal of Peace Research.
