Thiago's research focuses on comparative politics, with an emphasis on political institutions and political economy, and addresses the dynamics of coalition governments in presidential and parliamentary democracies.
In his recent research, Thiago also examines the consequences of coalition governments on voter behaviour and party competition, and the role of the opposition on coalition governance.
