Overview
The main goal of my research is to understand moral and political beliefs: what they are, where they come from, and what they do. I lead the Measuring Morality project, the goal of which is to understand how different ideas of morality fit together and influence politics and other domains of life.
I also work quite a bit on statistical methods for observational data, including panel data, treatment effects analysis, and multilevel modeling.
