My research examines how globalization and political economy shape economic development, distributional outcomes, and gender relations. My research agenda is oriented toward three classic sociological questions: (1) how has the global reorganization of production near the turn of the last century affected developmental prospects for countries in the Global South, (2) how do globalization and political economy shape income inequality, poverty, and well-being within countries, both rich and developing, and (3) how do development and globalization shape gender relations and family systems in the developing world. Most of my work is cross-national in scope and uses quantitative macro-comparative methods.
