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. -

Xueping Sun
Postdoctoral Scholar, Business
BioI received my BA of Economics from Sun-Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou and my MA of Economics from Peking University in Beijing. I obtained my PhD in 2022 from the Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES) at Stockholm University.
I work at the intersection of political economy, innovation, and welfare policy. I am particularly interested in how political incentives and constraints drive policy creation, and implementation, and how the interplay between government, market and academia shapes economic prosperity. In my research I use machine learning and big data methods to exploit novel data, such as politicians’ CV profiles, policy documents, publication records of scientists, news coverage and social media data to answer these questions. -
Xavier Warnes
Postdoctoral Scholar, Business
BioI am a Postdoctoral Scholar affiliated with both the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I work with Dan Iancu and Erica Plambeck. I completed my Ph.D. in 2021 at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (OIT-group), advised by Dan Iancu and Yonatan Gur.
My research combines theoretical modeling and data-driven optimization to solve problems on sustainability and fairness. In particular, my current work focuses on designing fair and efficient mechanisms for reducing tropical deforestation and increasing farmer welfare in agricultural supply chains.
