Dissertation Title: Multinational Corporations in an Uncertain World: A New Approach to Foreign Direct Investment
Summary: I am a Doctoral Candidate in International Relations at the University of Michigan, with research interests in International Political Economy and Environmental Politics. My research examines how adverse political, economic, and environmental conditions shape firms’ strategic behavior, and how firms’ responses to these conditions, in turn, reshape political and economic outcomes. I focus in particular on foreign investment, corporate climate action, and the governance of international trade. My work develops firm-level theories of political behavior under uncertainty around political risk, corruption, security threats, and climate shocks.
