Research
My research studies how institutional rules actually operate on the ground. Rather than treating institutions as immutable background conditions, I model them as strategic environments with informational frictions, thresholds, and incentives that shape behavior in subtle ways. Using causal designs and formal theory, I show how small policy details (cutoffs, timing rules, and enforcement asymmetries) can affect behavior, reverse incentives, or disadvantage compliant players even when institutions appear inclusive.
