Expert
Galileu Kim is a doctoral candidate in comparative politics. His research focuses on how bureaucratic institutions deliver public services, exploring the ways in which they can be restructured to better serve its citizens. His empirical strategy combines intensive fieldwork and large-scale administrative data to shed light on causal narratives through data science.
Ongoing projects explore the political bargains shaping bureaucratic personnel in public education, the effects of anti-corruption audits on the careers of municipal managers and a novel estimation of welfare loss due to (mis)representation in national legislative elections in Brazil. Additionally, as a data scientist, Galileu has partnered with the Brazilian Ministry of Finance to design auditing technologies and restructure the national employment program.
Galileu was a Lassen Fellow and is currently a member of the Research Program in Political Economy and Brazil Lab at Princeton University. Prior to joining Princeton, he attended the University of Pennsylvania where he graduated summa cum laude with an honorary degree in political science and economics.
