I use (quasi) experiments to study elections and democracy, examining how voters and parties react and proactively engage with political institutions. I also occasionally contribute to methodological discussions in the social sciences, particularly in relation to surveys and experiments.


I have published over 40 articles on these topics. Below, I provide a selection of my 10 favorite articles that best represent my research interests. For a complete list of my publications, see here.
