My research centers on developing both theoretical and statistical models for analyzing heterogeneous and dynamic political process under various contexts, with a special focus on party competition, legislative decision making, and political representation and accountability of coalition governance in European countries. My research unites two strands of significant political science inquiry: the development of game theoretical models to explain dynamic strategic decisions of political actors, and the refinement of quantitative (in particular quantile models, Bayesian methods and a combination of the two) and experimental methods to better test empirical hypotheses derived from theoretical models.
