I am a political scientist interested in related international development problems: 1.What are the causes and consequences of conflict? 2.What policies promote stability and the provision of other public goods and services? My research uses fine-grained, often geo-spatial, data; employs natural or field experiments to identify causal relationships; and applies game-theoretic models to motivate and interpret empirical analysis. I often collaborate with NGOs and government agencies in the Global South.
