Welcome

I study how institutions really work, particularly in environments of change and uncertainty.

My research focuses on institutions in emerging markets, from the perspectives of international and comparative political economy as well as international organization. Various manuscripts explore the reputational effects of international organizations; vitality, inertia, change, and death within the lifespans of international organizations; the duration and implementation of international economic agreements; heuristics in financial markets; and the gaps between form and function in institutions.
