Justin Melnick

Hi. I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Wilf Family Department of Politics at New York University.

I write on international politics and political economy, with a methodological emphasis on game-theoretic and causal inference tools. In particular, I study the role of information and uncertainty in leaders’ incentives to supply global public goods as well as the effects of domestic politics on international relations, each with applications to climate change cooperation.

My work has been published or is forthcoming in International Organization, the Journal of Politics, the Journal of Conflict Resolution, the Journal of Theoretical Politics, and the Journal of Political Institutions and Political Economy. My research has been supported by grants from EGAP.

I hold a B.A. in International Relations and Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.
