Bio
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Political Economy of Public Policy at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU for short). My current research addresses (i) how changes in external conditions affect spending trade-off decisions by local governments, and (ii) how to investigate citizens' political preferences using survey-experimental methodologies. My work has been published in disciplinary journals such as the Journal of European Public Policy or the British Journal of Political Science as well as general interest periodicals such as Nature Communications or Nature Sustainability.
