Econometrica, Volume 94, Issue 1, Page 71-103, January 2026.We study the problem of a partisan gerrymanderer who assigns voters to equipopulous districts to maximize his party's expected seat share.

Econometrica, Volume 93, Issue 6, Page 1937-1967, November 2025.We offer a theory of changing dimensions of political polarization based on endogenous social identity.

The mobilizing effects of California's Proposition 47 on high incarceration communities
Political Psychology, Volume 46, Issue 5, Page 1013-1038, October 2025.Abstract Existing research provides conflicting accounts of whether indirect exposure to the American carceral state mobilizes geographically proximate community voters. One possible reason for these mixed findings may be a missing connection between electoral participation and expectations of change in criminal legal policies.
