My research examines the factors that affect individuals' support for policies with a focus on spending, taxation, and redistributive considerations.
One line of my work centers on education, analyzing how material interests, economic factors, and perceptions of social mobility influence support for investment and how these factors play out in different local and sub-national socioeconomic contexts.
Another relates to taxation and welfare policies, examining the role of (mis)perceptions, information, and policy framing in shaping support for measures such as inheritance and estate taxation, pension reform, and omnibus redistributive policy.
A theme underlying much of my work explores how geographical cleavages, such as the urban-rural divide, shape trends in polarization and impact support for investment in public goods.
Using survey methods (descriptive and experimental) and secondary data sources, my research broadly investigates both the structural and perceptual elements that shape public opinion on policy.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher on the project The Politics of Labor Market Inequality and Occupational Mobility at the University of Konstanz in the Cluster 'The Politics of Inequality.'
