D. Roderick Kiewiet
California Institute of Technology
Professor of Political Science
- Ph.D., Yale University
- B.A., University of Iowa
Professor Kiewiet is currently working on a number of problems. "Rationality and the Recall," with Mike Alvarez, is a study of individual rationality and voter strategy in the 2003 California recall election. As is true of much of his previous work, it represents an attempt to bring some empirical analysis to bear on questions informed by the central concerns of formal political theory . His research on the 2003 recall have culminated in a number of other papers, some of which have been published, some still in the pipeline.
Sarah Hill, a graduate student in our Division, is collaborating with Professor Kiewiet in a study of the impact of Serrano-inspired court decisions on the level and distribution of public school funding across the United States during the past 30 years. He is also trying to make some headway in understanding why parliaments throughout the world vary so much in how many members they have--a topic that has received attention from Rousseau, Madison, and George Stigler.
Topic Specialization
