My research agenda focuses primarily on political and electoral behavior from a comparative perspective and on the impacts of immigration on countries of origin and destination.
My work on political behavior illustrates my substantive and methodological interests as well as my regional focus in which I highlight its multidimensionality and its connection to the spatial context in which it takes place. My work on immigration focuses primarily on the role of the State as a migrant-producing actor through the design and implementation of public policies as well as on how migration impacts the well-being of those left behind.
In my research, I apply complex survey techniques and employ advanced statistical methods to analyze primary and secondary experimental and observational data to better understand immigration’s impact on individuals and their communities of origin and destination as well as to gain insights into people’s attitudes, opinions, and their electoral and political behaviors.
