Harry is a PhD candidate at the Government Department, Cornell University
I study political economy, bureaucracies, and electoral accountability, with ongoing research in Indonesia and Ethiopia. I use field and survey experiments, observational causal inference, and interviews.
I received degrees in history and in economics from the University of Oxford and University College London.
