| ABOUT |
My primary area of research is domestic and international civil society, namely the role of social groups in development and governance, and the role of social institutions in international flows of migrants and investment. Additionally, I analyze international and comparative political economy issues, such as transition economies, cross-border monetary flows, and paths of development. My third main area of research is institutional change. Specifically I examine if institutional change is a product of feedback loops, as recent research suggests, or part of a broader evolutionary interaction between individual preferences and political and economic institutions.
