Research and Publications A large part of my resear ch is in applied macroeconomics and finance, focus ing mainly on the macroeconomics of developing countries, and with an emphasis on the political/institutional characteristics that shape economic outcomes. Two themes have been prominent in my recent work: the economic consequences of different institution al characteristics in developing countries (e.g. paper 8 ) and the economic frictions that result from ethnic and religious differences (e.g. paper 7 ) . The most extreme form of friction is violent conflict, and I also research the political economy of civil war (e.g. paper 1 4 ). My interest in the economic consequences of ethnic and religious differences has led to collaboration with experimental economists on the factors that drive the salience of social dist ance in economic decision - making, including both the choices of households in developing countries (e.g. paper 1 5 ) and attitudes in the West towards these countries and their people (e.g. paper 5 ). Th is research on attitudes links with my research on the p olitical economy of foreign aid (e.g. paper 1 2 ) and on the persistence of prejudice (e.g. pape r 3 ). (i) Journal publications 1.
