Com­par­at­ive Cap­it­al­ism––Search­ing for Bet­ter In­sti­tu­tions

I seek to un­der­stand the eco­nom­ic, polit­ic­al and tech­no­lo­gic­al im­plic­a­tions of China’s rise

I look for ways to best match policies, institutions and corporate and non-corporate actors for beneficial technological development 

My research helps: 

- governments to understand the implications of China’s rise 

- policymakers to incorporate corporate behavior and strategy into technology policy design 

- developing countries to leverage global value chains for socio-economic and technological development 

- change policymaking discourse to include deeper consideration of institutional effects on policy efficacy
