Terence K. Teo

hello

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Public Affairs at Seton Hall University. I study the political economy of authoritarian regimes, with an emphasis on authoritarian institutions and their effects on leader survival, regime stability, and socioeconomic outcomes. I also study democratisation, democratic backsliding, and political economy. I use statistical analysis, game theory, and case studies to answer my questions of interest. I am an avid user of the R statistical computing language.

I have published in the American Political Science Review, Government and Opposition, and International Studies Quarterly. I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Rutgers University with extensive Ph.D. level coursework in economics, and have undergraduate degrees in Neuroscience (B.S.) and Latin American Studies (B.A.) from the University of California, San Diego. Prior to Seton Hall, I taught at Brown University and Rutgers University.
