Representation in US states
I am working on a series of papers that explore how citizen preferences are reflected in local policies in the U.S.
Empathy and political attitudes
I am working on multiple experiments that explore the effect of interventions enhancing perspective taking on intergroup relations.
Empathy, deservingness, and preferences for welfare assistance: A large-scale online perspective-taking experiment (with Alexander Bor)
Reducing Partisan Affective Polarization through Common Humanity and Perspective-Taking: an online survey experiment in the United States (with Jennifer McCoy and Levente Littvay)
Reducing ethnic discrimination in the sharing economy (with Bori Simonovits)

i also work on a range of papers not directly related to my main research interest. These projects are mainly fueled by my fantastic collaborators.
