Gustavo Guajardo
Hi, my name is Gustavo Guajardo and I am an Assistant Professor at San Diego State. I study quality of governance, democratic institutions, and corruption in politics. My research agenda focuses on the effectiveness of political institutions in ensuring representation and accountability, and the incentives behind anticorruption reform in Latin America. In my research, I employ large-N observational data analysis, causal inference, natural experiments, and elite interviews from fieldwork. My work has been published or is forthcoming in the American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, and Legislative Studies Quarterly.
I hold an M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science from Rice University. Before coming to Rice, I completed my B.A. in Political Science at Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (Mexico City).
