Rural land rental markets in developing countries: Can survey design innovations improve land market participation statistics?

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract A longstanding puzzle in the African land rental market literature is the often‐observed discrepancy between the number of tenants (renters‐in) and the much smaller number of landlords (renters‐out) in survey data.

Balancing bossism: State expansion in the face of elite capture

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Central states have often relied on local elites to implement policies in peripheral areas.

The policy adjacent: How affordable housing generates policy feedback among neighboring residents

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.

Seeing like a citizen: Experimental evidence on how empowerment affects engagement with the state

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Building a strong and effective state requires revenue. Yet, in many low‐income countries, citizens do not make formal payments to the state or forego engaging with the state altogether due to vulnerability to opportunistic demands by state agents. We study two randomized interventions in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, designed to
