Edgar Alonso R.

I am an economist with a Master's degree in Economics. My research interests lie in the fields of political economy, development economics and economic history. I am currently working on the ideological orientation of voters and incumbents, the role of the media in political support in the context of conflict, and understanding processes of political violence. I have also been involved in projects on ethnicity and development, immigrant integration and some historical issues. In my research I use quantitative methods, especially those related to causal inference, from observational studies to experimental approaches.
