About Me
I study comparative politics, with a focus on authoritarian regimes. My research interests can be broadly categorized into three areas: (1) the political survival in authoritarian regime, (2) the information politics , and (3) applying computational methods to policy texts. In the thesis project, I draw empirical insights from the legal system in both modern and ancient China and model the way leaders of authoritarian regimes manage the exercise of discretionary power by government bureaucrats. My coauthors and I are also developing new methods to analyze the structure and content of policy texts.
