Research Interests: My recent research spans a variety of topics in American Politics, including (1) the sources and consequences of beliefs about ballot secrecy, (2) the effects of core psychological traits on attitudes and behavior, (3) how political institutions alter public goods provision and legitimacy, (4) the effect of social rewards and sanctions on political behavior, (5) the intersection between politics and social behavior, (6) how partisanship shapes attitudes, and (7) how convenience voting reforms affect turnout. Additionally, I've previously written about (8) citizens' self-assessed confidence in their policy beliefs, (9) how strategic candidates and political institutions affect the inferences one can make about political competition, (10) the persuasive effect of presidential campaign advertisements, and (11) the consequences of political oversight and institutions for the operation of the criminal justice system and bureaucracy. My research draws on multiple methodologies, spanning field interviews, formal modeling, large-scale survey and administrative records analysis, and field-, lab-, and quasi-experiments.
