Political economist with a particular interest in combining quantitative and qualitative methods for robust causal inference. Enthusiastic about the role of historical events in shaping contemporary political behaviour, particularly the role of political violence in mobilising dissent.
My substantive work lies at the intersection of applied microeconomics, ethics, historical political economy, and political behavior.
My work has been published in the European Journal of Political Research.
I tweet at @Vlad_Surdea.
