ii. Main Research Interests
• Political institutions and positive political economy in comparative perspective. I have
studied the effect of political institutions on public policy outcomes; budgetary policies;
theory of regulation and regulatory governance; executive-legislative relationships;
coalition management; and legislative organization in comparative perspective. I have
also investigated voters’ behavior with regard to corruption information released by anticorruption organizations, and the effect of political institutions of economic growth in
comparative perspective. My research also includes the application of formal theory,
qualitative and quantitative methods to comparative political institutions and public
policies.
• My work has led to articles published in several refereed journals such as Journal of
Politics, Comparative Political Studies, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Political Research
Quarterly, Governance, Electoral Studies, Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance,
Journal of Legislative Studies, Journal of Latin American Studies, Latin American
Politics and Society, and Journal of Politics in Latin America. I also have published a coauthored book, Regulatory Governance in Infrastructure Industries (Trends and Public
Policy Options No. 3 - The World Bank). In addition, I have a co-authored manuscript
