Stéphane LavertuAssistant Professor
Professor Lavertu has a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin, an M.A. in Education Policy Analysis and Evaluation from Stanford University, and a B.A. in Political Science from The Ohio State University.
Much of his research examines how politics affects the policymaking authority, design, and operation of public agencies. For example, his work has shown that political conflict leads lawmakers to insulate agencies and limit their discretion; that political clashes in the executive branch significantly affect efforts to promote performance management practices; and that lawmakers’ attempts to limit the time it takes to formulate regulatory rules may exacerbate rulemaking delay.
Professor Lavertu also is centrally concerned with understanding how the politics of bureaucracy affect policy. In particular, he has examined how the design of educational institutions relates to student outcomes, as well as the impact of federal advisory committees on agency decision-making.
