The overarching theme of my research is government performance. More specifically, I am interested in understanding the drivers of government behavior and the levers for improving its overall efficiency. My research has focused on this theme from two perspectives: the issue of defense finance at the federal level and the issue of fiscal health at the local level. As such, I have sought to explore timely issues that practitioners and academics will find of interest, with the goal of producing scholarship that impacts both public administration practice and academic knowledge.
