I am a Senior Fellow at the Center for Global Development and Director of the University of Chicago’s Market Shaping Accelerator. My research focuses on the micro-foundations of political and social behavior to gain leverage on macro policy-relevant questions. My current work in the political economy of development explores the existence and consequences of social norms of voting in semi-authoritarian states, government accountability in low- and middle-income countries, and inter-group relations. I also work on designing and evaluating optimal policies to combat the spread of online misinformation and increase vaccination, as well as applied research methods.
