Research in Progress
Executing Elections: The Distribution of Voters and the Consequences of Partisan Violence
Formally models the effects of partisan violence on the distribution of voter preferences and consequent behavior by political parties. By supporting violence, I find that parties can escape the median voter's preferred policy.
The Wrong Kind of War
A paper with Dan Slater on the effects of regionalist rebellions on the political militarization of authoritarian regimes. This paper empirically tests our theoretical claims with hazard analysis (Cox proportional hazards and accelerated failure time models).
A Model of Authoritarian Enfranchisement
Formally models the use of parliamentary elections to consolidate dictatorial rule in authoritarian regimes.
