Profile
Fields: Formal political theory, international relations, theoretical implications of empirical models
Scott Tyson is a political economist and formal political theorist whose research spans all the major subfields of political science. He has published several articles on international relations, authoritarian politics, and conflict, as well as on external validity and experimental design. What ties his work together is that he focuses on substantive mechanisms with an emphasis on strategic incentives, and he considers the relationship between theoretical and empirical models to be of deep importance to the social sciences.
