Her research is at the intersection of comparative political economy and party politics. Current research projects are concerned with the economic, political and strategic determinants of unpopular reforms in particular austerity and the political costs of austerity for parties in and out of government. A second pillar of her research focuses on intra-coalition policy-making dynamics and the attribution of responsibility within coalition governments.
