Marco Fernández is a PhD candidate in Political Science at Duke University. He earned his BA in Political Science at ITAM in Mexico City. Before going to graduate school, he worked in the Mexican Senate and in Congress as an advisor. In 2007 he worked in the Public Policy Analysis Unit at the Mexican Presidency. Aside from his dissertation project, which is his highest priority until completion, he is working in two complementary research projects. First, he has collaborated with Herbert Kitschelt and a group of graduate students at Duke University’s Department of Political Science on a new data set designed to quantify mechanisms of democratic accountability. Second, along with John Aldrich and Sinziana Popa, he is working on a book project in which they use the second wave of the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) dataset in order to analyze how the left-right divide affects individuals’ evaluation of political parties and their information schema on their voting behavior.
