Lasse Aaskoven

 

I am Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science at the University of Southern Denmark, where I am also affiliated with the Danish Institute for Advanced Study.

 

I was previously Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the Department of Government at the University of Essex. I recieved my Ph.D. in May 2018 from the Department of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen.

 

My research spans several areas in comparative politics and comparative political economy. One of my main research topics is how fiscal institutions, such as fiscal rules, impact national politics in both democratic and non-democratic countries. I also have a special interest in the political economy of elections including the study of political budget cycles.

 

In another strain of my research, I explore the effects of different political parties and interest organizations on public policies both at the comparative and subnational level.

 

In my most recent research, I study political violence and autocracies in a comparative and historical perspective and use original historical data to answer classic research questions in political science.

 

My research has been published or is forthcoming in Journal of Politics,World Politics, European Journal of Political Research, Comparative Politics, Political Studies, Journal of European Public Policy, Economics & Politics, Journal of Public Policy, Political Science Research and Methods, European Journal of Political Economy, Acta Politica, Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Politics, Public Choice, and Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory.
