My research focuses on state–business relations, particularly how political uncertainty shapes firm behavior.

My dissertation examines how firms recognize and respond to political risk. By studying different sources of political uncertainty, I aim to understand how such risk affects firm behavior, the channels through which it reaches them, and how firms adapt their strategies as the political environment shifts. Empirically, I combine establishment-level data on subsidiary placements, a large language model pipeline to analyze corporate textual data, and survey experiments.
