Matias López

I am a Professor of Political Science

at Universidad Diego Portales.

​​​

My research addresses how elites' reactions to the externalities of inequality impact redistributive policies and democratic governance, with a regional focus on Latin America and South Africa.

​

I also work on developing methods for statistical inference with qualitative data, particularly in the context of process tracing. 

 

Beyond UDP, I am affiliated with the

Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy at the

Geneva Graduate Institute, 

and a superb cook.
