Thank you for visiting my homepage!

 

I am a political scientist interested in the formation of political views, especially immigration preferences, either as results of long-standing historical processes or sudden events.

I am an assistant professor at the Department of Social Sciences at Carlos III University in Madrid and a researcher at the Carlos III Juan Linz Institute specializing in comparative politics and economic history. I am also a visiting researcher at the Department of Economics at the Aalto School of Business in Helsinki.

My current research focuses on the political economy of rural and peripheral Europe: how local economies, public services and demographic decline shape what communities want from politics.

My PhD thesis (completed at the University of Oxford) focuses on the formation of elite- and citizen level immigration attitudes. I am also interested in the effects of regional disparity and history on both current and past political behavior. I also have a keen interest in political methodology, especially quantitative methods of causal inference. For more info, please download my CV. You can also find me on ORCID and Google Scholar.
