Zoltan Fazekas

As Associate Professor of Business and Politics with focus on quantitative methods since 2019, I study questions related to how politicians and businesses interact, what voters think about such relationships, and how these influence public policy. My research is at the intersection of political science, psychology, and communication. In my research I mostly apply various computational approaches to better understand texts, information exchanges, communication, but I also rely on surveys and experiments to uncover individual attitude formation and voter expectations. Overall, I strive to understand the cost, desirability, and potential of economic and political expertise in modern democracies.
