Researches

We study Macau’s legislative politics using data on roll-call voting and committee deliberations.

We analyzed articles published in five peace and conflict science journals over the past 25 years and show that the gender gap has narrowed but persists.

We show that fathering a daughter makes men more gender-egalitarian, even in a traditionally conservative society like Japan.

We use the case of Macau’s gambling law amendment to examine how tensions between central authority and local interests are managed under the “One Country, Two Systems” framework.

We employ an instrumental-variables approach to identify the causal effect of joint democracy on militarized conflict.
