 Leah studies American political institutions with a focus on corporate political activity at the state level. She is particularly interested in understanding how the relationship between business and government affects job creation in US states. She also studies US federalism and explores how the federalist structure affects the distribution of resources across states and voters’ representation at the national level. Prior to starting at Harvard, Leah received an MA in Politics from New York University and a BA in Economics and Fundamentals: Issues &amp; Texts from the University of Chicago.
