The main focus of my study is political economy.
In my first working paper, I have analysed a developing region of India with seizable amounts of data. After a proper identification strategy, it emerges that we currently observe better economic and health outcomes where a more pervasive state administration was previously put in place.
In a similar spirit of enquiry about the effects of institutional design on individual welfare, my second working paper will exploit a random political crisis on the ethnic distribution of politically-mandated jobs in a developed country.
