I conduct research on international and civil conflict, including its onset, duration, and termination. My work has been published in journals such as the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, and the Journal of Politics. My research develops and tests various bargaining models between actors, including states and rebel groups. Additionally, I have worked with others on laboratory experiments that utilize behavioral economics approaches to further examine the comparative statics from bargaining models of political conflict.
