I am a dual-degree candidate for a PhD in Political Science and a Master's in Statistics, and a Research Associate at the Harvard University Asia Center.
My research focuses on the political economy of development and social identity. My current projects fall into three interrelated areas: (1) the politically endogenous origins of economic institutions, (2) the economic foundations of social identity, and (3) the making and breaking of pro-redistribution coalitions.
Methodologically, I use formal models to define a theoretically motivated estimand, and design-based inference to evaluate what the data can say about it.
I am also interested in probability theory and econometrics.
