Corrupting Renewable Energy
Many nations are investing heavily in renewable energy sources to support their development. However, there is debate among researchers concerning whether renewable energy leads to reductions in CO 2 emissions. Renewable energy sources should reduce CO 2 emissions, yet some researchers have observed a "displacement paradox," in which renewables are used alongside fossil fuel energy instead of displacing it, and therefore CO 2 emissions are not su…
Terrorism and state repression of human rights
This study examines the major factors that predict states’ repressive policies, focusing on the relationship between oppositional terror attacks and state repression of core human rights. We rely on a theoretical framework that brings together actor-oriented explanations and socio-cultural approaches. While the former emphasize purposive rational action, international pressures, and domestic threats, the latter focus on the power of ideas and on …
The International Monetary Fund, Structural Adjustment, and Women's Health
We conduct a cross-national analysis to test the dependency theory hypothesis that International Monetary Fund structural adjustment adversely impacts maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. We use generalized least square random effects regression models and modified two-step Heckman models that correct for endogeneity using data on 37 African nations with up to four time points (1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005). We find support for our hypothesis,…
The consequences of exposure to developmental, neurological, and respiratory toxins for school performance
Proximity to industrial toxins and childhood respiratory, developmental, and neurological diseases
Environmental Ascription
Studies of ascription often focus on the relationship between inherited characteristics such as gender, race, or social class and educational inequalities that limit life chances. This project proposes that reduced educational outcomes, and hence ascription, can also emerge from physical/spatial inequalities, specifically, the place where a child attends school. The place where one lives is often not a matter of choice; rather, it is determined b…
