Marnie A. Ginis

I am a sixth year PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science at Columbia University. I study firm-state relations in developing countries. 

In my dissertation book project, I study the politics of production complexity. Specifically,  I build a theory of how firms use production complexity to protect their assets from extraction by states. I use mixed-methods, including interviews, survey experiments, and quantitative analysis. 

My research has been supported by the Columbia Center for Political Economy, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, and the Center for Development Economics and Policy.
