Welcome, I am a Professor of Political Science at the
University of Iowa and Director of the
Iowa Social Science Research Center in the
Public Policy Center. My research focuses on the effect of direct democracy on interest groups -- my
book on this
subject was published by The Ohio State University
Press (the Introduction is available online). I also do research on policy diffusion across the American states. In general I
like to develop and test empirical and formal models of political phenomena. If
you have any questions about me or our program, or would like to discuss any research, please
email me. You can check out the following areas of my academic life.
