My research interests are rooted in the Political Science sub-fields of American Political Development, Political Economy and Public Policy. I have written on taxation, public finance, and social welfare topics. My long-term research plan is to explore the emergence of innovative public policies and institutions at state and national levels, particularly those developed in response to the rise of industrial capitalism and its challenge to democratic values.
