Dissertation: “The Politics of Consumption Biases in Public Expenditures.”

To be completed in 2010.

 

Research Interests: My research examines how individual preferences for specific public expenditures are affected by the degree to which their consumption is biased towards specific socio-economic groups. I provide a theoretical and empirical analysis of how such preferences aggregate through political parties and party competition. The insights of this analysis are used to explain changes in specific expenditures between countries, and within countries over time.
