Marnie A. Ginis

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Asian Institute within the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Toronto. I received my PhD in Political Science from Columbia University in August 2025. 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 appropriation by states. I use mixed-methods, including interviews 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.
