Welcome! I will start in the Fall of 2019 as an Assistant Professor in the department of Government at the London School of Economics.
My research centers on discrimination and immigrant integration, with a focus on France. In my dissertation, I examine who gets refugee status and how do refugees integrate in France using two original data collection. I successfully negotiated an unprecedented research agreement with the French asylum office to collect archival records of over 4,000 asylum applications and survey a representative sample of about 2,000 refugees living in France.
I graduated from Stanford University in June 2019 with a Ph.D. in Political Science. Before attending Stanford, I completed a M.A in Economics at the Paris School of Economics and worked on evaluations of health and cash transfer interventions with Innovations for Poverty Action in Cameroon, Uganda and Liberia.
Political Methodology III - Stanford University
Model-based inference in political science. Topics covered will include likelihood-based inference, generalized linear models, discrete choice models, regularization, missing data, latent-variable models, and (a brief introduction to) optimization approaches.
Instructor: Jens Hainmueller
Quarter: Spring 2018
Political Methodology II - Stanford University
Causal inference, i.e. methods designed to address research questions that concern the impact of some potential cause (e.g. an intervention, a change in institutions,economic conditions, government policies) on some outcome (e.g. vote choice, income, election results, levels of violence). Topics include experiments, matching, regression, panel methods, difference-in-differences, synthetic control methods, instrumental variable estimation,regression discontinuity designs, quantile regressions, and sensitivity analysis.

Political Economy - Sciences Po Summer school
The course will introduce advanced undergraduate students to the field of political economy and will familiarize them with a wide range of empirical methods used in this literature. The course will be organized around a series of topics(including voting, political agency and accountability,special interests politics,conflict and violence, the origins and impact of political institutions), and will be primarily based on the reading of research papers and the in-depth discussion of their theories, methods, and results
Instructor: Ruben Durante
Quarter: Summer 2017
Political Methodology III - Stanford University
Topics include maximum likelihood estimation, and then turn tomodels for discrete responses: binary (e.g., turning out to vote) ordinal (responses to Likertitems on surveys, rating schemes) and unordered or multinomial outcomes (e.g., voting in amulti-party system). We will also briefly look at models for counts (e.g., number of terroristattacks).
