New Publication Alert!🚨 In this paper, we explore whether extending the school day in Mexico reduced crime. We document that it does. Robbery dropped 11% in more exposed areas, mainly due to incapacitation.

How do governments frame social policies?
In my new article in @LAPSjournal (FirstView), I use text analysis (ALC embeddings) to show that ideology shapes how distributive policies are communicated:
Left → social inclusion
Right → productivity

My first solo-authored publication is now out in @Journal_CompPol (FirstView) 🎉
Why would cash-transfer beneficiaries reduce support for these programs when poverty increases? I show that perceived ineffectiveness pushes recipients toward longer-term social investment policies.

UNC’s Institute for the Study of the Americas was instrumental to my graduate school career. Multiple research grants — including during COVID to conduct surveys — and a FLAS. Without them I wouldn’t have been able to complete my dissertation. This is horrible news.

Re-election means voters can hold elected officials accountable, but can it be effective where criminal groups shape local politics? In my new article in @BJPolS, I show that in high-crime areas of Mexico, re-election did not boost accountability, but increased collusion instead.
