Anastasiia Arbuzova

Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE), Stockholm School of Economics. Prior to joining SITE, I completed my PhD in Economics at Boston University and my undergraduate degree at the New Economic School.

My research interests encompass political economy, with a particular emphasis on non-democratic regimes, and development economics, with gender focus. My job market paper studies legitimacy concerns as a driver of electoral manipulations in autocracies.
