Felix Rudolf Schönenberger

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Economics at USI, where I also earned my PhD in Economics in February 2024.

I am an applied microeconomist with a strong research interest in empirical political economy. My research uses quasi-experimental methods to study how representative democracy works. I study how voters form beliefs and participate in the electoral process, how voter preferences are aggregated by electoral competition, and how electoral institutions ensure democratic accountability of elected politicians.
