Patricia Andrews Fearon
Postdoctoral Scholar, Business
BioAs a social psychologist, I am interested in the psychological drivers of human behavior. I conduct basic research with two paramount goals: to further knowledge and to promote human flourishing.
I believe that addressing the most pressing challenges of our times, such as social inequalities or climate change, will require unprecedented levels of cooperation and a better understanding of the basic psychological processes that can sustain such cooperation.
In my research I investigate questions such as:
Why do people often fail to cooperate even when it would benefit them to do so?
How can widespread cooperation be achieved without coercion?
Can we harness the power of collective action without conformity?
Can we build trust in institutions without reducing critical accountability? -
José Ramón Enríquez
Postdoctoral Scholar, Business
BioI am a postdoctoral fellow at the Golub Capital Social Impact Lab and the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, under the supervision of Susan Athey and Erik Brynjolfsson.
I study the political economy of economic and political development, with a focus on political accountability. Specifically, I have worked on understanding the role of (mis)information in (deteriorating) improving political accountability, the causes and effects of criminal-political violence on democratic representation, the effects of the lack of coordination across levels of government, and the causes and consequences of dynastic politics in democracies.
Before joining Stanford, I obtained a Ph.D. in Political Economy and Government (PEG) from the Harvard Kennedy School and the Economics and Government departments at Harvard University. I also obtained a B.A. in Economics and a B.A. in Political Science from Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) in Mexico City. I was raised in Durango, Mexico. -
