Substantively, my research bridges public management and public policy, often through the lens of public budgeting and finance. I am particularly interested in how policy failure, public law, performance measurement systems, and bureaucratic discretion broadly effects public service delivery. Methodologically, I leverage robust causal inference approaches in qualitative and quantitative methods, including the use of experimental and quasi-experimental designs.Please find my peer-reviewed work (with full-text accessibility) below. Ongoing projects and working papers as well as community engagement, policy evaluations, and presentations / invited talks & seminars can be found in my CV
