I am a political economist at the University of South Carolina where I study broken political and economic institutions in the non-Western world. This website hosts papers, code and data from my research projects and also my blog, Punk Rock Poli Sci, that mixes poli sci (the politics of economic development) with a splash of punk rock (rethinking methods for scientific research in the 21st century). You can find my CV here.
I am the author of two books:
Making Democracy Safe for Business: Corporate Politics During the Arab Uprisings
