I am a sociologist, specialized on organizations, teaching organizational behavior, statistical models, and macro organizational theory.
My research is on change and persistence -- how and why organizations and their components change and persist through time. I hope to contribute with my research to a deeper understanding of the natural evolution of the social world. I use statistical models to explore the mechanisms that create, maintain, and transform persistent patterns of behavior.
A large part of my research is concerned with rules and related phenomena such as routines, guidelines, and laws.The field of rules is broad and expanding. In a world where markets become increasingly replaced by bureaucracies, understanding the evolution of rules and rule systems becomes increasingly relevant.
