Public
Finance and Political Institutions
 |
I
have analyzed how various legislative institutions affect public policy
outputs such as expenditures and budgeting. The institutions I have
studied include districting and legislature size, legislative
professionalism, and term limits. Much of this research employs
empirical strategies designed to identify the causal effects of these
institutions on fiscal outcomes.
