Jori Korpershoek

I am Jori Korpershoek, a post-doctoral researcher at Columbia University. I am a Political Economist, with an interest in how knowledge and information are distributed and used in political systems. My current interests are the rise and fall of local media, decentralization, and citizens' ability to effectively lobby politicians.

I can currently be reached at my personal email address. 

Previously, I was a PhD student at the Erasmus School of Economics in Rotterdam.
