I am a Professor of the School of International Relations at the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV), Sao Paulo. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Sao Paulo, and I am also a Ph.D. Candidate at the Wilf Family Department of Politics, New York University. My work concentrates on the fields of Comparative Political Economy and International Politics, investigating collective action problems affects the design of institutions, incentives, and welfare.
In my recent working papers, I study how electoral systems and competition affects corruption, how legislature size influences welfare in Brazilian municipalities, and how international institutions affect the rogue state’s deterrence. Here you find information about my recent work.
