I study integrity in public supply chains, with a focus on how public procurement can create or constrain favoritism in the allocation of contracts. A central part of my work asks how transparency and procurement regulation shape incentives and behavior, and whether these safeguards reduce preferential treatment in practice. I also examine how procurement integrity affects social outcomes, including service quality, access, and trust in public institutions.
Procurement favoritism: When and how does procurement discretion translate into preferential contract allocation?
Transparency and regulation: Which transparency rules and oversight designs change behavior rather than just reporting?
Social impacts: How do integrity failures or improvements in supply chains affect quality, access, and inequality in public services?
