Research topic: The Regulation of MPs Salaries and Expenses in Westminster Democracies
I am a doctoral researcher in Politics focusing on the regulation of the salaries and expenses of members of parliament in Westminster democracies. The project aims to provide analysis and information on expenses regulation both from a scholarly standpoint and to inform ongoing debates on policy. My broader interests are the comparative study of parliamentary institutions in the English-speaking world, with a particular focus on the interactions between institutional arrangements, resource use and forms of political behaviour.
Research supervisors: Professor Nicole Bolleyer, Professor Claudio Radaelli
