My book "Resistance to Gender Quotas in Latin America" is out, and it's *open access*!
The book explores the puzzle of gender quotas—a policy to increase women's representation, adopted when men, who may be affected by these policies, are the majority of legislators.

From policies for retirement to policies for incomes crises
In this new JICSP article, Bernard and I discuss one of the ways in which some countries responded to income shortfalls during the covid pandemic. We provide evidence and debate with respect to emerging market and developed economies.

Sad to hear the brilliant and great Walter Korpi passed. Korpi was on a very short list of my all time favorite political economic theorists. Almost all my work is fundamentally based on power resources theory. His work on the welfare state is pivotal and central to so many fields.

How have the living standards of low-to-middle income Britain changed since the mid-1990s?
After about a decade of significant growth, income growth has stagnated since the mid-2000s.
