I am a political scientist at the LSE. I study the politics of public service delivery in low-income democracies. I am particularly interested in the ways in which politicians and voters learn about politics, service delivery and foreign aid. A lot of my work also focuses on the ways in which politicians and voters interact with foreign donors. I also study corruption, election fraud and piracy.
My major ongoing research programs study the causes and consequences of corruption in health supply chains; how politicians learn about constituency needs; how foreign aid impacts government spending; and how foreign aid impacts voting.
I teach courses on public policy, international development, comparative politics and research methods.
